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)

Whatever you need, sweetheart - that's all fine with me. [He doesn't relish more leadership responsibilities, but he'll take them, because someone has to and he's probably one of the best qualified. Besides, he knows he works well with Kitty, and that's clearly what's most important right now.

His voice softens.] Anything else I can do, professionally or otherwise? Need a shoulder, or a drink, or a sparring partner to let off some steam?

	Probably best just to focus on bringing the teams together. No opposition or counter proposals on the table so far, so I think it'll go through this way. ...And it's not the first time I've lost someone. [She says that like it means something. It doesn't. If anything it makes it hurt more.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-02-15 12:01 pm UTC (link)
	I know. [And he doesn't say any more. His offer of comfort is on the table and he trusts her to use it if and when she's ready. In the meantime, there's always humour.] Do I get some sort of a badge for being a mega leader? Or a hat? A hat with a badge? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She's usually so good at humor. Not so much today.] Anything you want that you can find or make I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Ouch. Okay, so the humour’s not working, then. A little too soon, eh?]

Oh well, I’ll have to get on to seeing what I can do with that, then. [It’s a bit lame, and he obviously knows that. He desperately wants to comfort her, but he doesn’t know how. Denied the way he’d normally do it – touch – he’s a bit lost.]

Anyway, give me a yell if you need me, okay? For anything at all.

	[Trying not to feel so she doesn't cry means a lot of not laughing too. She'd nod in response if she'd managed the video option. As it is she just says] Good. ...I will. If something comes up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-02-20 12:34 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. I'll - well, I'll be around. I'll let you get on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-02-21 05:47 am UTC (link)
	Okay. [Not exactly disconnecting. She wants to talk to him even if she doesn't want to talk to him.] So just, if you need anything, call me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[And he senses that, but this has never really been his forte: comfort without touching. Or distracting without touching. Or anything without touching, really.

He casts around for anything else he can say, just to keep her on the line.]

Had any offers from anyone else to fill any of the gaps in the teams?

[It's a bit lame, but it's a question. She needs to answer it, right?]

	[It's probably a good place to start though. She has a history of being untouchable at times like these and not just metaphorically speaking. Still, there's something like relief here when he asks another question.] Yeah, a few people are ready for dispatch duty. Ianto is one of them actually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-02-23 08:37 pm UTC (link)
	[He bites back his instinctive joke about yay, another office space to harrass Ianto at work, and goes instead with:] I'm sure that's a job he will fill admirably. You wouldn't believe how good he is at surveillance and organising people. Hell, he manages to organise me! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-02-23 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	That is a feat. [Loosening up just a little or trying to.] Maybe I should give him a special title. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-02-23 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	Chief Organiser, or something? Heh, maybe I could get him a hat and a badge as well? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-02-23 09:15 pm UTC (link)
	Sombrero? He'd look good in a sombrero. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-02-23 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	[That's better!] You think so? I can't picture that. I'd say he's more of a fedora guy, myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-02-23 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	Not being able to picture it is how you know it's working. [or something.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-02-23 09:24 pm UTC (link)
	Hmm. You know I'm going to have to go out and get him a sombrero now just to see how it looks, don't you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-02-23 09:26 pm UTC (link)
	All part of the plan. [And now have a long pause.] I want him back. [No, not Ianto.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-02-23 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	[A breath. Then, softly] I know. Kitty, I... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-02-23 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	...We need to find out more about the stabilizer. [If she can just make it about work...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-02-23 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	[He swallows.] Yeah. I... kind of haven't been as focussed on that as I might have been. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-02-23 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	I should talk to Data about making it the priority for the investigative team. We have a lot of missing people. We don't really know what's happening to them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-02-23 09:46 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. There... [carefully] do seem to have been a lot of losses lately. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-02-23 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe it's their plan to keep us off balance. [She definitely feels off balance.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-02-23 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	[Well, that would certainly make sense.] You think perhaps they're targetting you, specifically? As leader of the DF? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
