Day 258 [Audio | DF] [Audio/Action | Open]
[Audio | Encrypted to Defense Force]

[How often does she use audio instead of video?]

I want to make some changes to our structure, but this is up for discussion and input so don't go carving anything into stone yet.

We're having trouble balancing some of the combat teams with members leaving and the prison isn't exactly tiny, but it's not giant and sprawling either, so I think we should consolidate into two regular teams and a specialty, auxiliary team for sector 6 investigations.

I want to combine sectors 0, 1, 2 and 3 under Jack. And sectors 4, 5, and 6 under me. Then Jack and I both need to choose one or two members to keep trained and up to speed on everything. [In case we disappear.]

We'll work out who can also be part of the sector 6 team later once we get the kinks worked out of this. [Not a top priority.]

Deanna and M'gann I want to talk to both of you about the interview team. [Since she's suddenly alone there.]

We also need more volunteers on dispatch until we can get it restaffed.

[She clears her throat. She can get through the rest of this. One word in front of the other until she gets there.] I also want to make Data the head of the investigation team [the pause isn't long, but it is meaningful] since Dr. Spencer Reid is lost in the stabilizer.

[Audio/Action | Open]

Reid is gone. Keep your condolences. [This has been a courtesy call from his grieving girlfriend, and that's all you get. You might see her out working though. Keeping busy might be her friend right now. DF headquarters, training hall, library, educational facility, and yeah, the Devil's Compass.]

(OOC: Like she said, this isn't in stone yet, so keep your eyes on the Defense Force sections of the upcoming Sunday Speakeasys for more details! Join the DF here. Current roster. Notes on Reid's disappearance)

	Makes sense. Those of us that can run or fly can cover more ground, if you need. Just to help make things a bit easier of those that have to do it the hard way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would hope you can all run, but I assume you mean Wally. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She actually laughed at her own error, and nodded] Yes, I mean him. Unless there are any other speedsters hiding somewhere in the dome. We can run, sure, but he can run--you've seen him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DF Filter] kitty_has_claws 2014-02-14 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	[A nod, not that Zatanna can see it.] Not anymore. [Tommy was, but he's long gone.] But, yeah, I've seen him. Covering ground is good. I think the fact that we patrol at all sends a message. We're going to need people to call in if there are really problems though. [Not that they couldn't stumble on something, but they need people to wan the help.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DF Filter] notbabymagic 2014-02-14 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	Well, that's what these comms are for, right? [There was also the option of M'gann's telepathy, but she didn't want to offer her Martian brosis' abilities without her permission first. She didn't even know if M'gann could link the whole Defense Force. Or if she should.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not sure that's what the wardens had in mind, but it would be good if people used them that way instead of just getting attacked and saying nothing. [Which she's come to find out has happened several times now. People bullied into silence or people who don't trust the force apparently.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DF Filter] notbabymagic 2014-02-15 06:42 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe they're afraid of the attacker finding them again if they broadcast where they are? Even back home, with cell phones, not everybody would first thing to call for help right away. They'd be too worried about getting to safety. Away from the person attacking them. Maybe we just need one of those panic button stands, like I've seen on college campuses.

	[DF Filter] kitty_has_claws 2014-02-16 05:29 am UTC (link)
	You think they can get to a panic button faster than they can turn on a communicator? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DF Filter] notbabymagic 2014-02-16 05:32 am UTC (link)
	It's not about what they can get to first. It's about sending up a generic signal from a wide area that doesn't give away their exact position. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DF Filter] kitty_has_claws 2014-02-16 05:37 am UTC (link)
	I think you're imagining a scenario where someone is being hunted and momentarily given someone the slip. Somehow I don't think that's the norm here. Besides, calling doesn't have to give away their position to anyone but us. That's why we make sure dispatch workers are trained hackers who can encrypt signals. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [DF Filter] notbabymagic 2014-02-16 05:45 am UTC (link)
	I never said I was an expert. I just know that's what they did on all those campuses I used to sneak on some weekends. ...but you didn't hear that last part. [Not like she actually did anything wrong. It wasn't as if she drank at any of those parties or anything.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DF Filter] kitty_has_claws 2014-02-16 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	[It's okay. She can't be moved to worry that much about sneaking into a college. Not even if Reid hadn't just left.] There might be something worth looking into there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DF Filter] notbabymagic 2014-02-17 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	Do we have any tech experts left who might be able to work on something like that? I mean, if he were still here, I'd've asked Richie, but... [He's not. Her bff and former sort-of crush. Gone.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DF Filter] kitty_has_claws 2014-02-21 05:20 am UTC (link)
	Me. Rebecca. Data. ...Seven maybe. [She's not on the force so she doesn't know her skill set as well. So many people she could mention are gone.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DF Filter] notbabymagic 2014-02-21 05:40 pm UTC (link)
	So there are options. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It would seem so. [Actually that gets her thinking maybe there should be a division of the force devoted to creating things that might be useful. This particular invention might not be first on her list, but there are things that might be useful. Like a vessel that could withstand the pressure outside the dome. You know, just in case.]

You're not so bad at creating things yourself from what I've seen.

	Ideas, maybe. The actual building stuff, though? Definitely not my area. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was thinking with magic more than manpower. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DF Filter] notbabymagic 2014-02-25 04:26 am UTC (link)
	Same principal, though. I'm a magician, not a miracle worker. I can't just make something completely out of nothing. I need at least a basic idea of how said thing works, and where I might be able to pull the resources or materials from. Otherwise, it's nothing more than a stage prop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DF Filter] kitty_has_claws 2014-02-25 04:45 am UTC (link)
	But if someone gave you the materials and concept for how it works? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DF Filter] notbabymagic 2014-02-25 04:50 am UTC (link)
	Only one way to find out, really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DF Filter] kitty_has_claws 2014-02-25 05:21 am UTC (link)
	Then I might call you up for that test sometime. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [DF Filter] notbabymagic 2014-02-25 01:05 pm UTC (link)
	Sure thing, Kitty. Not like I'm going anywhere. Or have much else do do around here half the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DF Filter] kitty_has_claws 2014-02-27 12:20 am UTC (link)
	I know the feeling. Okay, we'll talk more when and if something gets up and running. [Or there is more other DF business.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DF Filter] notbabymagic 2014-02-27 12:55 am UTC (link)
	Sure thing, Kitty. See you around. (Reply to this) (Parent)
