[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.

	True, but there is really only one way to find out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Perhaps. Though, I think the point here was the fact that our previous association with the Warden made the Force somewhat untrustworthy among other inmates. [Tieria certainly could count himself in that group. Watching the Force from the inside was one of the reasons he'd joined.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hmm... I suppose. But does anyone actually trust the warden? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2012-07-09 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	Most do not. Some trusted Sentience. No one knows these two. [So, not really. Tieria didn't, at least.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guesstheskittle 2012-07-10 12:43 am UTC (link)
	True, but if perhaps working with them would give us a chance to figure out more of what they think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2012-07-11 03:59 am UTC (link)
	If they are willing to share, yes. [Tieria was willing to concede that point.] Hopefully, they will see this organization in a good light. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We can only hope. It also depends on what the new leader of the Defense Force decides in terms of network security and also if the wardens would allow that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2012-07-15 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	That is true. From what I understand, we will be needing a new leader again. [Suzaku had taken over from Gino, if Tieria remembered correctly, even if that was before he had been an actual member.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guesstheskittle 2012-07-16 01:34 am UTC (link)
	Yes. Suzaku isn't here so we can not be certain what will happen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2012-07-17 05:24 pm UTC (link)
	Are you going to ask, then? Or shall we wait until the organization is more settled? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guesstheskittle 2012-07-18 02:21 am UTC (link)
	I have already volunteered our services. I think waiting until they are more organized is the best course of action. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2012-07-23 06:08 am UTC (link)
	[Tieria nodded.] Fine. Keep me updated. [Tieria wasn't up for taking charge on things at the moment, so he'd let Revive run with it. He'd done more work with it back in the other dome anyway. Tieria had been created more for taking action than doing computer work.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guesstheskittle 2012-07-23 02:22 pm UTC (link)
	I will. Then I will contact you again when I hear something from them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2012-08-02 02:57 am UTC (link)
	[He nodded.] Very well. Until then. [And, if there was nothing else, he was off.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
