Day 217 ✝ Action / Voice
[Earlier in the morning, Derek is running around the Defense Force headquarters. Mostly, he’s been acquainting himself with the updated roster for the Force, especially his Investigative Team. He sends out a quick message to said Investigative Team informing them that there will be a meeting that afternoon at three. It isn’t mandatory so if they miss it, it’s not a big deal. But they will be discussing a course of action to try to learn more about the prison.

As he also notes that his sector patrol team has changed, he decides to touch base with the new people as well. He’s not a huge fan of changes, but he handles it better if he gets the upper hand on it. So during his lunch break (street food stands in sector 0), he tosses them a private message.]

[ private voice to Terry McGinnis and Zero Kiryuu ]
Hey, name’s Derek Morgan. I see we work Sector One together and thought we should touch base so we know who we’re workin’ with.

ooc: The Investigative team meeting is a mingle. Derek will intro and let them know what it’s about, but feel free to thread with anyone in attendance. Also, anyone is free to run into Derek at HQ or when he breaks for lunch.

Investigative Team ✝ Talk to Derek

At three, Derek gets the attention of everyone in the conference room at the Defense Force headquarters where he’s holding the meeting. He waits for the room to quiet down to a murmur before speaking. “Hey, first and foremost this is a way for us to all get acquainted with who we’re working with. So make sure you familiarize yourself with the faces in this room and maybe shake a few hands and get to know each other. I’m Derek Morgan, which most of you know.”

He pauses, looking around the room and kind of wishing Hotch were still here. But then, his absence is the catalyst for what he says next. “I have two main avenues I wanna focus on for awhile. First, sector six. I’ve spoken with Kitty and we agree that sector six is worth looking into. We’re planning a grid search where we can comb the sector with a fine tooth comb. There has to be a reason those creatures are in there, or even in this prison with us. We have a theory that they might be hiding or guarding something. So what we need to do today, is come up with any anomalies that we might need to look for and make a list. Anomalies such as where the creatures congregate, where the vegetation might not look quite right… things like that. Any input, any ideas… we welcome them all regarding sector six.

The second avenue I want us to focus on is the dimensional stabilizer. This is supposedly the place where people who leave the dome end up. Is anyone familiar with this kind of technology? What do we know about it? Any ideas where it might be located within the prison?” His eyes are maybe a little darker, more emotional when talking about the dimensional stabilizer. But he can’t help that. This is personal. And he’s decided to focus on it rather than on other things.

“These are the things we’re here to discuss in open forum as a team. Otherwise, thanks for taking the time out of your day for this and I’d like to get to know all of you. Thanks for coming.”

Investigative Team ✝ Talk to Derek

Rose, almost sheepishly, raises her hand. She knows the Doctor would be much better at this sort of thing. However, once she gets started, the confidence she learned working with UNIT and being the lead on the dimensional cannon project comes back.

"Sorta. Back home, me and a buncha military blokes built a dimensional cannon. We were just sorta...rippin' through dimensions, but anytime you make a hole you gotta shore up the edges with somethin' or it'll collapse on itself eventually and destroy both dimensions. Part of the cannon included a stabilizer to help...slow down the rippin'. Didn't stop it." She wants that made clear as one of her crimes here is destroying dimensions. "Just put a plaster on it."

As Derek knows little to nothing about this kind of technology, he's so thankful that someone speaks up on the topic. He knows that a grid search of sector six is the safer, easier topic at hand. And really was grasping at straws where the dimensional stabilizer was concerned. So he nods his understanding (or his attempt at understanding) as he listens to Rose, who sounds like she knows what she's talking about to him.

"So the dimensional stabilizer could be the in-between of here and where they pull us from, like a limbo that holds that in-between open." He reasons. "Would that mean there's a different stabilizer for each person or would they be able to put more than one in one... limbo room?" He obviously is new to this sort of tech speak.

"I'm guessin' here 'cause I've only had experience with the one and I mentioned we were just sorta...imagine firin' a cannon at a wall. Leaves behind a gaping hole, yeah? That's sorta what we were doin' with dimensions. Anyway, I'm guessin' this set up is more sophisticated. I'd think at most there'd be two? Assumin' we're in a pocket dimension here, there's prolly a stabilizer for the dome. Like a door or a plug. If they're bringin' people in through it, s'prolly more a door than a plug. Let's assume the limbo room is another pocket dimension steada warehouse sorta room within this dimension. Limbo rooms for every person'd take too much energy and it'd be pokin' too many holes in this dimension it's hooked to. It'd make this dimension weak and vulnerable. They've got another stabilizer for the limbo room." She hesitates, considering her words a moment. "Prolly anyhow. I mean...that'd make sense. When we're thinkin' 'bout escape, we've gotta consider what sorta dimension is on the other side of this one. It's...sorta like the tube, except you've got to get off at every stop. You jump from dimension to dimension 'til you get to the right one, 'cept you've gotta deal with navigatin' each dimension."

Talk to Derek

Although it's not strange for Reid to keep to the outskirts of conversation, he's surprisingly quiet throughout the meeting. Sure, he gave an opinion or suggestion where necessary but most of the time he remained silent, standing towards the back of the room, observing more than participating. Tired and subdued and most of all worried. He doesn't know where they stand and he hates it. It makes him feel like the ground under his feet is coming loose, even more so here than back home.

Once the meeting draws to a close, he approaches. Cautiously. Waits for a sign to tell him that it's alright or perhaps that it definitely isn't. Either way, Morgan may have to speak up first.

Derek is in pretend everything is fine and focus his entire self on something else mode. It didn't escape his notice that Reid hadn't spoken up during the meeting as much as he normally would have. And Derek knows that that is in part his own fault for being so distant from Reid, Garcia and Prentiss since her arrival. He still feels the need to do so, but he can also put on a good show when he has a case to work on, and this meeting is giving him that.

So when he sees Reid approaching, he offers him a small grin and meets him halfway. "So what do you think about all this?"

There's a small amount of relief to the fact that Morgan is willing to talk to him at all, but it's not enough to completely wash away the uneasiness. Talking about work is a good place to start though, perhaps even a good place to stay and although he remains somewhat stiff he falls into it with ease.

"Sector 6 is a good place to start. I get the feeling we've exhausted the rest of the dome as far as data goes."
