oh captain my captain

[nocawsforconcern]

Who: Enna and you!
Where: Network, and then the kitchen car!
When: Imagination 15, morning
What: Enna claims the captaincy.
Warnings: Summaries of the mission, including death and injury!

[The ICPs on the train will all start up, showing Enna's face, looking uncharacteristically serious. And she seems to have figured out the ICPs much better since her last time.]

Cawww... That mission was a mess. It sucked. For a lot of reasons.

[She sighs, folding her arms, her cloak wrapped around her.]

Hi. If I haven't met you yet, I'm Enna. Gienah Alchiba, captain of the Argo Minor. But call me Enna. Or Captain, 'cause that's what this is about.

When we were fighting the bad guys, I called myself the captain of the Voidtrecker Express. That was mostly to make myself a priority target, 'cause I'm the one who had the unbreakable shield. But I meant it, too. A crew this size needs a captain, so I'll do it. 'Cause, that was awful.

We need to make sure this won't happen again. Not just so that we're more prepared, so we can fight through anything, but we need to be careful about who does what. Someone in the group I was in killed one of the bad guys after they were already pinned down. I dunno who that guy is, but that's not something I will allow to happen again.

[She takes a minute to gather herself again, figure her thoughts out as she rustles her cloak.]

I need to know what all happened on this mission. What groups were where. Please report in with what you know of what happened on this mission, what you did. If you know anything about who those enemies were, that's important, too. We can't keep sailing blind. If we get another mission like this and we're any less organized, we might not have anyone survive.

I'll be at the.... There's no helm. Caw. Okay. I'll be in the kitchen car. Come report to me there. I'm going to start making plans for what to do next time.

[The video ends. She didn't even punch the ICP this time.]

(OOC note: This is not an OOCly enforced thing, this is just Enna's own actions. You don't have to acknowledge or obey, the train sure won't. Replies are gonna be assumed to be in-person unless specified otherwise!)

[Nita snorts.]

Good to hear.

[Then she signs off - and around half an hour later, shows up where he's stationed.

Taking a seat nearby, she's quick to get to business.]

So you cracked it after all, huh? ... Play it again, please. The message.

[blue_ice]

All right. Ready?

[ When she is, he plays the message. The emotional effect has lessened with the repeats, but he still holds onto the device tightly.

After a few minutes: ]

...did you get what you needed?

[blue_ice]

Hm...timeline alteration. It's a possibility. One of many.

I think we'll need the whiteboard for this.

[strawberryprotector]

"No." Ichigo groused into his coffee before giving her another look. "The critical to medical, but the rest to luggage. We haven't got space to be efficient if you pack the entire train into medical."

[nocawsforconcern]

Can the train tell what's critical?

very true

[nocawsforconcern]

[Enna just stares at the bouncing leaf for a moment.

Is.... Is her mouth watering?]

Nuh-uh. Energy's in your body. You can't grab that, dummy.

[nocawsforconcern]

Roland?

[Enna nods.]

I've never seen how coffee was made. Ma and Da's tavern never sold it, 'cause it was so expensive to get.

[nocawsforconcern]

It's okay. I didn't see anything that happened, either.

[She has to contemplate for a moment, though.]

Did we learn anything about the bad guys?

[nocawsforconcern]

I mean face-to-face. I don't like this thing.

[She doesn't seem very happy.]

It's not a foolish title. And you didn't work with me. You only saw me at one part, with stuff I didn't understand.

[nocawsforconcern]

What's a whiteboard?

Cawww... She said that we should have been trained, and that everyone forgot her... Did she know us, specifically? Was it specifically us that should've been trained, or just anyone who was on the train?

[There's a short pause, and then. A quiet chuckle to herself.]

Hee. Train training.

[nocawsforconcern]

Then you should know how much it sucks. You don't have any sympathy?

I had a shield. I could have protected you from the fire if you weren't firing at other people.

[nocawsforconcern]

I'm not stupid just 'cause I don't know about something that doesn't exist where I'm from.

[nocawsforconcern]

[That... gets her to pause. She doesn't quite... know, what to think of that.]

It's not my fault.

[That wasn't it. Not exactly.]

But I called myself captain. So it is my responsibility.

[theturksway]

I'm pretty convinced all cats are smarter than you at this point.

[consider8]

Hmm...

[She understands that, and surely in her mind at the moment she was. The question weighing on Eight's mind right now is whether this responsibility was taken on too soon... as well as the disastrous consequences that followed.]

We'll look into it. I... will tell Roland and Glorfindel.

[nocawsforconcern]

[Enna nods.]

Who're they?

[ourtomorrow]

[ Leafmon wants to point out that sometimes, energy is not just in your body. Sometimes, energy is out there, to take, but you really shouldn't, because it messes with you and you do a lot of things you'll be very, very sorry about -

But he is distracted by seeing something he does not like. At all. ]

...W-what is it?

[ He bounces back a pace. ]

[consider8]

They are the Team Leads for Purple.

But more than that, they are worthy of trust.

They will listen.

[zechs_isonfire]

'Stuff' such as how passengers communicate with each other?

Leaders must be at least aware of the technology that makes it possible to organize and communicate with the people they're intending on driving forward.

And even lacking knowledge of such technology, it's foolish to think you can drive off a giant space rock with a single shield.

[ He paused, realized exactly how harsh he sounded, and pinched the bridge of his nose. ]

You mean well. But you're acting like a child. If you want to improve to the point of being a capable leader, you've a lot to learn before you start declaring these intentions.

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita holds her breath.]

Talk about falling between the cracks.

[But she nods.

Bobo?

/On the clock, boss. I've forwarded the recording to your Manual. And-/

Nita cuts him off before he can continue. Thanks.]

So they were both names of planets, after all...

[Obviously that's not the biggest thing, here, but it's nice to have that sort-of mystery solved.]

You think that happened to our worlds, or was 'System #1015' just that unlucky?

[Dark fare? Absolutely. But it has to be considered.]

[unfavorableinstigation]

Only that they were local, apparently. Just wanted someone to drop in to be used as scapegoats.

[But Nita doesn't really believe in coincidence.]

If they talk on anything more, I'll make sure everyone here hears - and you're on that list.

[xue_yang]

And yet you didn't did you? And you didn't protect the dozens of others that were injured by those people that you were trying to protect. Why protect the enemy when all they wanted was for us to be crushed beneath those robots?

They don't deserve any sympathy.Not when they hurt far more then I did.

[blue_ice]

[ Seto feels a cold fear grip his heart. Mokuba. He reaches up to squeeze his locket, expression thin and weary. ]

It's definitely possible. It would explain why no one who came back remembers 'going home'. But where did the people who've left us go, then?

[nocawsforconcern]

I don't know a lot about technology, 'cause a lot of this doesn't exist on my world. But no matter what you think, I am a captain.

Also, it's a magic shield.

[mtsilver_conquor]

[Enna's powergrab had reminded her of Tony Stark's 'this is my train', and that 'I'm gonna be there' only adds to the pile of 'possible Tony Stark situation' thoughts that swirl her head.

All she does is exhale, twice.]

Suit yourself.
