[FILTERED TO DEFENSE TEAMS/RESERVES/TECH/RESEARCH]

It's that time again. Don't make any plans for the 15th. This one is going to take some pre-planning and it involves everyone in Defense.

The idea is loosely based on these races. Please note the safety gear. You will need it.

Your teams will have the next two weeks to design and build 1-3 themed bikes that can carry your entire team through an obstacle course. No one can be on a solo bicycle. You must work as a team. The more people on one bike, the higher your difficulty score. The more work put into your theme, costumes, and general enthusiam, the higher your starting score.

The winning team gets $500 a piece and a commendation on their record that can be used to request a permanent pay increase or to get your pet project approved. If none of this moves you, we can talk about some other options.

There are 28 of us, so I divided us into four teams.

Red Team
Nebula
Wanda Maximoff
Valkyrie
Edwin Courcey
Vax'ildan
Jacob Frye
Kara Danvers

Purple Team
Teddy Kaplan-Altman
Evie Frye
Xaden Riorson
Lena Luthor
Kratos
Peter Quill
Keith Kogane

Blue Team
Catra
Atreus
Carol Danvers
Orym
Billy Kaplan
Rocket Raccoon
Deleneios Armen

Green Team
William Laurence
Violet Sorrengail
Kate Bishop
Gamora
Takashi Shirogane
Kellach Donnallen
Adora

Materials should be recycled whenever possible and anything crucial or safety related can be reimbursed from our discretionary fund. Within reason. Don't get crazy out there, guys. This is mostly for fun and to work on creative problem solving as a team. Let me know if you have any questions. And get to work.

Oh and I guess while I have you here I should mention Del is the new coordinator for team B. Hopefully the responsibility will keep his hotheadedness to a minimum. Carol is the new coordinator for Team A but I know I don't have to warn you about her.

[ooc: okay I did my best on teams, but let me know if you notice a big issue. I think Liz is the only one I had to double up on. There will be a plot post a day or two before the event to work out extra bonuses to rolls!]

	Did you put me on Team Green because I'm green? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	takashi 2024-07-04 04:49 pm UTC (link)
	Ah. No. I made the teams and then tossed a color on each one so we wouldn't be confused about Team A-D not being our usual teams. Do you want to be called something else? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	soulstoned 2024-07-04 04:55 pm UTC (link)
	No, that's fine. I was curious. I don't think I'm creative enough for this challenge but I will [...] do my best to participate. Rocket is going to probably annihilate all of us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	One person does not make a team. I think we can all bring things to the table that can help us succeed. You're strong and fast, you think exceptionally well on the move, and you're not afraid of anything. Those skills will be crucial. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	soulstoned 2024-07-04 05:02 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe. I'll leave the bike decor to the more qualified ones. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~We should all partic~~ You don't want to talk about black leather while you've got the chance? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	For what, costume choices? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	takashi 2024-07-04 06:05 pm UTC (link)
	Sure. And bike decorations? Are you team spike or something else? We could put a grapling hook on one of hours? That feels up your alley. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	soulstoned 2024-07-04 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	Ambivalent towards spikes. Grappling hooks are fine? I'm assuming cannons aren't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	takashi 2024-07-05 01:26 am UTC (link)
	Depends on the ammunition? The idea is to teamwork our way through obstacles not destroy everything. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm not on the blue team. Maybe it's not all about you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mind your own conversations. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mincing 2024-07-04 05:02 pm UTC (link)
	Make me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll burn your cheese puffs to the ground. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd like to see you fucking try. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	soulstoned 2024-07-04 05:35 pm UTC (link)
	You're going to see me fucking do it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mincing 2024-07-04 08:41 pm UTC (link)
	I bet you'll fall into the water before me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Can't read this, too busy scorching your snacks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mincing 2024-07-04 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	I'll kill you. (Reply to this) (Parent)
