RAC IC for The Warrant

Tomorrow I'm turning 49 and I'm celebrating tonight that it isn't fifty yet. Also that I've lived this long. Suck it, ex-husband who swore being in the RAC would kill me young.

Anyone who wants to drink with me, bring it. No singing. No presents. Cake will probably happen. Someone get me a cake.

Anyone up for a few rounds in the ring?

[Engineers]

Are we doing poker night before we all get scattered throughout the Sol again? When works best?

[Tequila Sunrise]

I'm flying into Tijuana tonight. I was planning on sticking around for the party and that's what I did.

Also I got into a slight (emphasize: slight) dust up with a couple of Cuba Libre arseholes at the party.

[Ireland]

Thought you were coming last night?

[Star]

How are you holding up?

[Ireland]

Plans for the Christmas period?

[Sawyer]

How are you What's your captain's preferred poison? Also, welcome back.

Weirdest Christmas themed thing you've ever seen?

Since my plans to swing by Tijuana for a quick visit last week were interrupted by a couple of cheap trick pendejos, I am making the offer again, but in a more timely fashion. We'll be heading to the colony for the holidays, and there is always room for anyone who wants a ride, whether it is to visit family or just because we all need a little vacation.

The plan is to leave on the 23rd, so you will all have time to fulfill your Secret Santa obligations, and the Tequila Sunrise will stay through the weekend to head back to Ganymede on that Monday the 28th if you want to return with us.

Please let me know in advance so we can make sure beds are made and provisions are stocked, ok?

[TEQUILA SUNRISE]

You are all welcome to come, of course, and my home is welcome to all of you for Christmas dinner and mass. After out little adventure with the kidnappers, I'm sure we could all use a little R&R. But you are also welcome to stay behind or go be with your own families, too. I'm sure between whoever comes along and the additional agents, we'll be able to fly the old girl just fine.

She's sounding pretty good lately, no? Those new engine parts must be singing carols for the holidays down in the engine room.

ALL SINGAPORE SLING, TEQUILA SUNRISE & B52.

[insert northern sector location here]

All of you are to rendez-vous at [meeting point, still northern sector] at 1930 hours.

Killjoys, the kill order has been given by Jadzia. Only as necessary.

EUPHIE.

But not your new lamb. It's not his time to be slaughtered.

MATHIAS.

Tuesday. 11am, my office.

ALL RAC AGENTS.

As of this message, all active bounties are to remain as such. Those of you off-colony, remain where you are until further instruction and do not dock at HQ under any circumstance.

Crew members who have not reported to their captains are to do so immediately. Those who have, Mara has opened her door to any and all counselling.

These are difficult times, but remain steadfast with your crews.

CAPTAINS.

All of you are well aware of what is at stake here. Time is not on our side, and we're running out of it. [......] Our investigation into that package was, as evident, unsuccessful. Our priorities right now lie in pinpointing the origin of the video message for leads and quelling the panic before it escalates. Mass hysteria is damaging; it creates more chaos, and that is the last thing the agency needs. Their lives come first.

If any of you have witnesses to the event, question them immediately and with care. We may not have three days, and they are our only eyes. We will canvas all locations for video surveillance that might have captured even a second.

My thoughts are with you and your crews.

[ posted is an unhackable & untraceable (non-live) video feed of the following: our masked kidnappers against a grey, stony backdrop without a single thing to identify the location. they're relatively jovial throughout the whole thing as they greet the RAC and introduce themselves as the ones who left the little present last month, DID YOU LIKE IT? :') because there's more to come!

edited throughout are short snippets of video surveillance of RAC members and footage of outside HQ as they launch into how the RAC would be nothing if not for them: the bad guys, the villains, what would you have without them? all you are is a bunch of desperate wannabes; it's just sad, tbh. we've been watching you, looking so safe and snug, but how safe do you feel now, reclamation agent coalition? are you missing someone, maybe!? :(

the terms are laid out: five names listed of vergil's incarcerated men to be released in exchange for the five agents they have. no footage is released of the agents, sry gaiz. the cost of failing to comply? in 72 hours, your agents are dead. bye bye now! :) ♥♥ ]

[ OOC: characters may reply to this!!!! there will be no replies back, though, obviously. also feel free to retcon in your character(s) into that video surveillance (it's like CCTV; it can be from anywhere in ganymede, but probably around HQ/the downtown core). this is the official kick-off of the 4-day kidnapping plot! ]

Here in the RAC, we only have two types of members: sourpuss Scrooge wannabes, and Christmas elves. If you fall anywhere between these two extremes on the scale, please be aware you will be asked your alliance, and marked either by a glittery red taffeta bow or the bitter lingering scent of childhood disappointment.

Things I learned this week: it is loud in the engine rooms. How do engineers not go deaf?

You have got to be fucking kidding me.
