jelly 6 - ready for summer

[enthunder]

Who: Red Team and associates
Where: Training Gym
When: Morning of Jelly 6 (forward-dating to when they get the mission brief so we have some time)
What: Light rounds people up for a Red pre-mission meeting, since there's been some shuffling in the roster since the last one.
Warnings: TBA

With a brief so underwhelmingly sparse, Light would normally just leave everyone to it. But there's been some losses and gains in the Red team over the past month, and she's not exactly confident that everyone knows what they're meant to be doing. She's not confident that she knows enough about the new faces to trust them on their own, for one thing.

After last mission, she figures the least she can do is tap the shoulder of anyone she recognises as being on her team - or anyone who tends to tag along in the team regardless of hoodie - and ask them to come to the training gym after breakfast.

"We need to discuss the mission," she'll say, intonation giving them her exact opinion - unimpressed - on the information.

At the training gym, she's unpacked a few of the available supplies and fetched a spare handful of earpieces from the music carriage. They won't have that much time between the brief and their arrival on the world, from experience, so she wants to get everything sorted fast.

[ OOC: this is a meeting so if you want to threadjack and answer/respond to things, feel free to do so; if you don't want people to threadjack, just say 'closed' in your subject line. <3 Tag around, meet your fellow lone wolves etc. ]

mission - mingle in one thread, OTA

[enthunder]

"So we don't have much to go on," she starts, once the topic is brought up. "We're going to a construction site, to find something or someone called 'the Great-Summer', and we'll be in the factory zones. There'll be hostiles or issues, probably, but no word on what those'll be."

Sounds great, really. She folds her arms, and then consciously unfolds them again. "Let's discuss. Anyone been to a biosphere before?"

Apart from her, but she wants to hear from everyone else.

[bakegarasu]

Otoha doesn't raise his hand, but takes a look around at the rest of the team. He doesn't seem that impressed by most of them, though at least there's a few faces that he considers as 'friendly' in the crowd.

[runsfast_rollsfar]

It is absolutely clear that this is the last thing that Prisoner wants to do, but he recognizes that this is probably the last thing any of them want to do. Also: Light was pretty chill from what he remembered, so. How could he tell her to go fuck herself? Tony, on the other hand...

The question earns a somewhat exaggerated shake of the fireball to signify in no uncertain terms that Prisoner had not.

[reluctantjinrou]

Another mission, how tiresome, but at least it got them off the train. Maybe there would be more things to punch, and get his aggression out on. He was kind of hoping Alice would stick with him again, because he certainly didn't want to buddy system with people he didn't really know.

Natsuno was listening, vaguely and while he didn't know what a biosphere was, he didn't really want to ask. Did it matter in the end?

They were just being dumped where the train dumped them.

[controlsthedie]

Thanatos stands, arms crossed, listening to the silence. He doesn't even know what a biosphere is. He'll assume that it's similar to the different levels of the Underworld and their different settings and purposes. And that it's probably going to be hot if it's suppose to be summer. He pictures Asphodel with all its lava flooded meadows.

Finally, he sighs. Meetings like this where no one speaks just makes the stupid things last longer than they should. "While I can fight, the train seems confused about my actual responsibilities. I am Death Incarnate, but I specialize in those fated to die a gentle death. The violent ones are handled by others."

Or maybe the train just wanted him around to make sure things died. Period.

[knifewithnoname]

"You do be being Death Incarnate?"

She has never heard of a biosphere and had indicated that with a quick shake of her head to Priestess Lightning from where she stood, tiny amongst her larger team members.

But this mans words had made her look up at him, wrinkling her nose.

[worthallthis]

Soldat is here, having maybe follows his roommate, after a couple minutes of intense internal debate for whether it was a good idea to switch teams their first mission versus being good at combat like red team supposedly is for versus Steve Rogers (and several others they've connected with) being on this time. But in the end, they're here, expressionless rather than nervous-looking, and sadly not actually speaking up yet either. That have not ever been to a biosphere, and Thanatos has a question to answer, so there's not much else to put in.

[controlsthedie]

"Yes, I am Death Incarnate in my world." Is there really much more to say than that? Thanatos doesn't think there is and says it like he was telling someone the time. Is it 7:48?

[xue_yang]

Xue Yang doesn't particularly care about team meetings and he would much rather just do his own thing..and generally does on missions. But he figures that the reason they are even holding one of these is partially his fault thanks to his unfortunate death during the last mission. And so he looms towards the back of the room, arms folded in front of his chest.

[renegadeprince]

"I've had experience with biospheres." Vegeta offered up to that question. He had been curious to see just who the team was made up of, giving him a chance to size them all up and seeing if anyone stood out to him. Also 'experience' with biospheres tend to be destroying them in his case. "However the make up of them can alter greatly depending on their creators and their level of technology."

[inquisitor_lavellan]

Alley's here, just watching and listening. Just a scarred-to-shit, hook-nosed, one-armed elf in red. Nowhere near the weirdet sight in the room.

That's probably the guy with a ball of fire for a head.

There's a silent head-shake on the bio sphere question from her, too, but at least one of them seems to have a clue. That's something.

Alley sure as shit doesn't.

[soldier_blade]

"Isn't that usually the case with most tech." Even in the military, tech and maintenance for it varied between countries. "But you can usually find the similarities in the mechanics if you look carefully enough."

She knew that from being on so many bases in various countries. "In any case, sites of this sort always have guidelines-if not some sort of manual. Given how much they depend on these, it seems careless to not have anything on how to maintain them."

People make mistakes afterall, no matter how well they're trained.

[reluctantjinrou]

"Is it really any different from some other world we've been to?" Natsuno asked after a moment.

"I mean, do we have to really know how it works?"

supplies - separate threads probably, OTA

[enthunder]

"Make sure you know what we've got," is the next topic. Light gestures to the samples. "If you need medical supplies, a shield, a weapon, something to give you an edge... Test 'em out here. Better to have them and not use them than just leave 'em lying around. If you don't know what something is, just ask."

[ OOC: see the supplies spreadsheet, note that there are multiple tabs ]

[inquisitor_lavellan]

"I'll be a lot more useful to everyone if that shield's a proper one, and if I can borrow it for the mission. Might have to modify it temporarily to bolt onto my... arm."

That being the flat, black metal bar standing in for her shield arm, from just a few inches below the elbow and down. No attempt at any kind of prosthetic hand, here. Just two holes for actual literal bolts.

[enthunder]

The prosthetic gets a look, but the moment of confusion melts away to something more pragmatic.

"I'll see about getting you first pick." She's fairly sure she can make that promise, all told, given the scarcity of shield users. "You used to something larger?"

[inquisitor_lavellan]

"Much," Alley confirms, "but I've used smaller ones, too. I can adjust for a loaner, as long as it can attach to me."

By the time the next mission rolls around, she's determined to have her own shield back with her where it belongs.

[bakegarasu]

Yeah, he’s got a question. “What are the earpieces for?”

Are you going to be tracking him, roomie?

questions - threads, OTA

[enthunder]

"Anything else? Doesn't have to be to me." She'd appreciate it, even.

47, helping w/questions - OTA

[rieper]

47 was nearby to help field questions for his bonded Lightning. He was used to this sort of thing at least. Pretending to be something he was not was his thing after all.

"I can help you with supplies or any mission questions you may have," he informed the next person that looked like they were waiting for Lightning while she was busy with someone else's questions.
