[video | open] Defense Force... announcement thing.
Good day, Marina-- or, I suppose, Marina Nova. I hope everyone is adjusting as well as can be expected. We've suffered some tremendous losses [herself very much included,] but I am certain we will be able to manage things as well as possible.

With regards to the Defense Force -- with Suzaku Kururugi among those lost, and the Wardens confirming for me that weapons and life sign monitoring are no longer available -- I would like to make a proposal. [and she's going to make it openly, so anyone can weigh in... trolls she can handle, and it's worth the risk to give everyone a chance to speak.]

Although I believed strongly in Suzaku and what he did with the Force, there was something troubling me. In some cases, members' primary motivation for joining was to obtain a weapon. And while I know for a fact that Suzaku would not admit anyone who was not suitable, it nonetheless seems as though such a team should have members whose primary reason for joining is belief in its purpose. And further, I believe that the invasion of privacy that the former Defense Force utilized for monitoring life signs made inmates uneasy. I know I had my own questions about such methodology, but it was not my team and thus not my place to debate what was in place.

However, now that many things have begun anew, I am wondering if there are those among us who believe strongly enough in protecting others that they would agree to do so without the promise of a weapon, or any such personal gain. A new leader would need to be elected, and I would be happy to oversee the process if the potential members would like. Any and all proposals will be considered.

With regards to weaponry and special abilities for those who would use them in defense of themselves or others, that is a battle that I will continue to fight with the Wardens, regardless of whether there is a formal Defense Force. I believe in our members, and all of you will have my full support regardless of the status of the organization as a whole.

	Unfortunately not, however today is very chaotic. I'm certain that once we have settled a bit and I call for formal nominations, we will have many a suitable candidate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course. I would like to ask though, how will we proceed with dispatch for the time-being? Much as I do not wish for harm to happen to any of us, it would be good to be prepared. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	For today, Sakura and I will handle dispatch from the Education Center. I imagine that by the time the teams are done searching we'll be able to determine the best location for the new headquarters, and begin assigning shifts. Since we have no life signs to guide us, we will have to use the regular network and our patrols for now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Good old-fashioned way. ] Then I shall keep my eyes and ears open. Please do not hesitate to call on me should I be needed, Lacus. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I won't, Sasha. Thank you for your diligence. (Reply to this) (Parent)
