oh captain my captain
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!)

I don't agree. I can't call myself a captain in battle, and then pretend I didn't mean it later. If I'm to call myself it at any point, I gotta be up to it at all times. So that's what I'm doing now.
[She draws her cloak around herself as Glorfindel talks.]
If there's leadership, then we need to be sure that every group has a leader. Who can stop people who go out of control.
"Forcing people against their will"? I don't think so. Captains need to be obeyed. That's how it works. A Captain has power and authority, because they also have the responsibility. Everyone's lives and happiness are the Captain's duty. So if the Captain tells someone to fall back, then they need to do so, because otherwise the captain can't do their job. Power and responsibility are the same thing.

We are not serving as crew on this Train, however. We were all shanghaied. Part of the issue is that most of the people on this Train were leaders, not followers. We have at least three kings, a goddess, more than a few princes and princesses, Champions, captains, and more heroes that should ever be in one place. Because of this, we rely very heavily on volunteers. Plus, not everyone here is of legal age, even on their own World. We need to protect the innocent, not demand obedience of them.
I do agree that we need better battle tactics. It is not going to be easy, considering how many highly individualized fighting styles there are. We haven't needed to before now, so it did not occur to us there was a problem. In hindsight, that was an error on the Team Leaders' part, yes.
Perhaps we do need a bit of shaking up. But naming yourself as the sole leader is going to create more trouble than it solves in this society. We are still playing catch-up and recovery after Tony Stark did so early on, and that, above anything else, in my opinion, is what hamstrung us during the fight on the mission.
So expect a lot of pushback. Though I do agree with you on several points. It is the duty of a leader to lead; power and responsibility go hand in hand; and things need to change. Declaring 1that you elect yourself to be that change? No. No that cannot be permitted. We do not need that kind of in-fighting anymore, and I will raise my voice against anyone who tries to do so.
