Day 203 [action/mingle] Defense Force Mixer
[There was a bit of a mail delay with PM's disappearance, but everyone on the team should have gotten a letter this morning. By noon the roof of the new Defense Force headquarters is ready for guests. It isn't exactly decked out, but there is a long table with finger-foods: small sandwiches, fruits, and hors d'oevres as well as sweets like cupcakes and truffles. An arrangement of sodas and bottled waters sits on one end next to an enclosed punch dispenser. Sorry, no spiking the punch, kids. There are also small standing tables around the edges. The only real seating comes in the form of benches along the sides. The point is to get to know the rest of the team, not to sit and eat, so this suits Kitty just fine. They can thank Lacus for the fact that there is food at all and that things have been arranged in such a way to promote circulation.

She waits until it seems like most everyone has drifted in and calls for their attention while perching herself up on the wall itself. No fear of heights here.]


Hey. Thanks for getting here on the short notice. I'm not really speech girl, so I'll keep this snack size. We've had a lot of changes. New prison. New leader. New headquarters. New divisions of duties and responsibilities. New members. It's a lot to expect you to keep up with and you have. So, good job.

Now I'm going to ask you to do better.

You're an amazing group of individuals, but we need to be a team. I need you to know each other and be able to work with each other even if you aren't covering the same sector or area. The stronger we can function together the better chance we'll have when we find our shot at taking the wardens down. That's part of what today is about. It's not all crustless sandwiches. I need teams training and strategizing together.

Make sure you're reporting suspicious people to our watch list and anything that might be relevant about this place or our robotic overlords to the investigative team.

Okay. Mingle. If you have questions, problems, whatever, come at me.


[Once she's done, she hops down. The mixing can continue for as long as people want provided they still handle their sectors.]

(OOC: See marinanova_df for details on the force. Roster. To join. Everyone on the DF and anyone they brought is welcome. Curious passers by likely won't be tossed out. Try your luck!)


[Private video to Dirk, Jake, and Roxy (who isn't here, but she doesn't know that)]
Thanks for the invitation. [Which she read a little late. Sleepovers at Reid's can do that to a girl.]
