RP: The Funeral
Who: Everyone
Where: 1 Marshall Drive
When: October 19, 2011
Summary: It's a funeral and a meeting at the same time

Leon hated funerals of his men. It was a personal failure. Funerals here were both better and worse. Better because there was no greiving family, but worse, because they were doubly responsible for all the people here. No one here had chosen this, no one had consciously and voluntarily accepted the danger. Despite everything, it was impressive to see how smoothly things went, each person knowing what needed to be done, from the pall bearer to Kepner and everyone in between. Slowly they were becoming a team, whether people saw it or not.

When they were finally at the team recreation house, Leon made sure that they were all there and that the building was secure, before getting everyone's attention. "I apologize for having to do this under the circumstances, but this is the best cover we have." People would have to get used to the fact that everything in their lives was a cover. "Some of you may be aware all ready of the fact that we have three pregnant women in this agency. This has brought up several issues. Ladies and gentlemen, everything you've learned about safe sex just went out the window. Pills and condoms don't seem to work. Whether STDs can be transmitted is up in the air, but I'd assume that if you can get pregnant, you can probably catch something... if we're even able to catch regular illnesses. The point is that we have no idea, so please be very careful unless you want a child.

"The second issue is security. We will keep this secret as long as possible, but mothers-to-be have a glow that will be impossible to hide forever." They also had a huge belly, swollen ankles and mood swings that made war preferable, but that wasn't up to him to mention. "When this comes out, the risks increase. I am confident that everyone here understands what that means and that measures have been taken for temporary shelter. However, we need to start looking at more long term solutions, covers that would allow us to interate with the people of this world. We have to be able to become invisible in plain sight. We will need names that you can live with for the rest of your life, nothing connected to any name you've ever used before. Also we'll be looking at different parts of the country, possibly near cities we know, New York, Miami, LA, Chicago." It was the opposite of what he wanted, but if anyone got capture, Leon wanted the extra time to relocate everyone. "However if you have ideas, speak privately with either Callen or Morgan. Now if there are any questions, I'll be happy to answer what I can."

	Eliot spoke up from where he stood, leaning against one of the walls in the room where he could see everyone's skeleton (minus Hanna's), "Do you want to hold onto the ICIS agency as a local whole as long as possible?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

"As long as we have the President's support, we are a federal agency and each of us has taken an oath to uphold the laws of this country." Despite everything, Leon was a patriot and if he could work with this government, then he would.

"There are also very practical matters. We have three pregnant women, and I wouldn't want to start a war with the government when they are about to give birth. Staying here also gives access to technology, arms and information that we wouldn't otherwise," he said. "Now, if your question is whether people could start going, then the answer is most certainly not. The moment anyone quits, he becomes an enemy of the state and it becomes our job to find, apprehend or kill such person. Failure to do so makes all traitors."

	"What about extended assignments?" Eliot was trying to think this through. They buried a kid today. There was no way that would be happening again. "How does that work within the federal framework, or whatever Hanna called it the other day?" Eliot didn't know where Hanna was, but the man would probably speak up for clarification if need be.

	Eliot thought for a bit before calling out to Morgan. In a room of this many people, he'd never find the man otherwise. It was one of the things that really sucked about being blind. "Safe houses," Eliot began. "Vance said some have been established but do you need more? Or want something where a small to mid-sized group to go for this day to day thing off the map?"

	Eliot inclined his head. "I think so, too. If we have to go on the run, we'll be fine on our own, but the kids..." Eliot's lips tightened. "We can't let another one down, Parker." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
