Day 194 | Video and Action
[Video | Open]
As part of my punishment I need to give a lecture. I figure I'll do it on the Defense Force. So, if you want to know more about that. Check it out this afternoon at the educational facility in lecture hall three. Open to all. [Not you, Tyki.]

We've got ourselves some new digs. Still in sector two and not too far from the educational center, but free standing. It's one of those many empty building set up around the place. It looks like it was designed to be something retail, but I figure we can make it work. I've already found some dividers. Talk to me if you have experience building actual walls or magic wall-generating abilities.

Team leaders, I've got an idea of where I think things need to go, but I want your input.

Rebecca, you're in charge of getting dispatch relocated.

Zatanna, I want you to put in some security measures like we talked about before.

We've also been losing people to the dimensional stabilizer, so Derek is temporarily also a sector team leader. [Sorry, Peter.] He's already got a position though, so if there is anyone else looking to step up, let me know. Also, Faith will be taking over her sector. Teams are a little unbalanced right now, but instead of moving people to new assignments, let's just make it a thing that the largest teams check in with the smallest ones to help cover the sectors. When we get new people or returning people back they'll fill up again.

Questions?

[Action | Lecture]
[It isn't her first time teaching, so she's pretty comfortable at the front of the room going through her notes. The hardest part was deciding what to talk about publicly and what not to mention. The force has always been something of a topic for debate. Those present might notice she's wearing her large, metal wrist gauntlets again thanks to Zelgadis. It covers up the blue band at her wrist and they have claws inside! But if all the boys and girls are good they probably won't get popped during class.]


History
It was founded and initially led by Gino Weinberg. After his departure it was picked up by Suzaku Kururugi until he left. A vote put Kitty Pryde in charge recently at which time it was restructured to have an emphasis on research and investigation as well as a larger hierarchy for leadership.

Purpose
To protect inmates from threats created internally and from those presented by the wardens by working together as a team combining their skills and abilities. Their goal is finding a way to stop others from being brought to the prison, and to return those who are here to their lives.

Structure
Combat-ready teams are divided by sector for defensive operations. There is also a dispatch center meant to monitor communications for distress calls and also to take direct calls. The investigative branch is for compiling information that may help improve their understanding of the facility and it's wardens as well as any inmates who may pose a serious threat to others.

Misconceptions
The Defense Force does not work with or for the wardens. It does not enforce the facility rules or punish those who break them. It is not here to babysit anyone or act as Big Brother. If you have a problem you should take it to dispatch. You can't expect help if you don't ask, and you won't find trouble if you don't look for it. They will not clear up personal grudges or help with petty crimes.

Joining
Membership is open to anyone who is willing to take and can pass a psychological interview and any necessary skills tests.
