To whoever currently runs security: count me in. I'm dead and I don't sleep.

That's not what I'm saying. You had a problem with McLeod taking over- fair enough, you were running the show with Kaya, you deserve a say in it. But now he's stepped down again, and apparently you're having a bloody strop about it and so now no one is running it? I simply ask that you make up your mind so that if you don't want to do it, we can find someone else asap.

Right now, I'm covering for Kaya and her brother. I knew the systems so I'm just trying to keep them going. If people need me to take over full time then I will. I can, but that's not the issue. According to them, I'm a failure and it's my fault, personally, that everyone died. Even the people with flu. So what's the fucking point in me even bothering to step up when they're just gonna throw a hissy fit over it? I'd rather just moan about them while I get on with protecting the people I love in my way.

Why don't you take over? You're the one with the license to kill and the golden gun and pussy galore and so on and so forth. I vote for you. Maybe then people will get the fuck off of my back.

All right, well thank you for the explanation. I was finding it somewhat difficult to follow. I'm sorry that people are blaming you for things that are beyond anyone's control- people need a scapegoat, and a security chief is an easy target, unfortunately. So yes, that's all fair enough.

As for me, I'm just a trigger-puller, I do what I'm told, I'm not exactly leadership material. But my quartermaster is here, too, who may be better equipped for the task, if no one objects.

	You're a trigger-puller. I'm a homicidal manic with a very bad temper. Guess neither of us are living up to our full potential here. Sort this mess out yourself. I'm through. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Does this mean you guys are taking over? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not about taking over. We need some kind of negotiation. This is going to descend into mutiny if we go about things in this manner again. A collaboration of skills would be a more succinct term. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Negotiation? With whom? If you want to negotiate with everyone, nothing gets done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Between people who know what they're doing. We have a large area to cover and whilst I'm competent in finding some way of surveying weak points in addition to the patrols, but as I said to Mr. McLeod, there are areas I'm not familiar with, such as the supernatural attacks and any warnings relating to them. It's a case of who is willing to give what, how much, and to what extend people are happy to use their skills and have people's skills used.

I realise this sounds like I've thought about this a lot, and you'd be right.

	But someone needs to start this, get the people together and someone needs to play moderator. If you thought so much about this, then why don't you go ahead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay. (Reply to this) (Parent)
