'Sup, ship mates. You've gotten the low-down from Newt already, Dusty's managing food and Grandpa Barnes is still passin' the buck as always . . . I figured I drop in my stuff too. A while back, I had a few people ask about self-defense classes and training.

And I figured that's useful 'cuz the last mission definitely went hairy and people got hurt. I'm happy to offer up some tranin', sparring or hell, even weapon maintenance or setting you up with some basic gear.

I got the qualifications. Did a stint in MIT, but also did a couple of active war tours 'round Afghanistan and Iraq, was a Navy Seal. Trained in a couple of martial arts disciplines. Ain't too shabby with swords and shields along with guns.

You're welcome to hit me up and we can start training. Skill's the best asset you got and you never know, even with superpowers or magic and whatever, to have an extra edge.

If that ain't your thing, I'll hook you up with some basic flash bombs. No fuss.

To those who have recently arrived on the station, welcome. You are the third group to have contracted with the orbs--and I suspect not the last.

Since we have a diverse and changing group, I think it would be ideal for us to set up some sort of regular training schedule for everyone. While our last mission was a success, we were not very prepared for it.

[And exactly 0 of their teambuilding exercises have been about practical skills. He's finding that a little concerning.]

Though it would be better to formulate a practice schedule based on what skills we have and how we can coordinate them.

So, if you have a moment, even if you are not new to the station, please share whatever it is that you are experienced in. It does not have to be combative--just whatever you feel is your specialty.

I am a Mesmer, which is a profession of mage that specializes in illusions and distortions. Thhings such as phantasms, stealth, stuns... I use it mostly in combination with a sword and shield to fight.

((Feel free to threadjack around the post! There will be more concrete follow up for a group-wide training schedule post mission but everyone can share with the class now to facilitate grouping together in the mission.))

[There sure have been a lot of informational hits to the earpieces lately. And she's really sorry to add another one to the mix. But this is something she feels the need to get the deets out to everyone quickly. You never know when the next mission will be announced, after all.]

Right so, my name's Clara Oswald. Think I've met most of you by now, though there seems to be some of us that are new wandering about.

[And just so everyone is aware, she's smiling and waving like you all can see her but this is audio so you can't. Anyone that's near her in the sunlight room is free to see this happening in real time.]

I've been here long enough to agree with the assertion we need a sense of organization moving forward. So Rosinante and I have come together to start working on gathering a list of our current inventory. The plan is to make checklists and supply kits to take with us on our missions. We'll have to use whatever we currently have on the station, obviously, but thought that maybe we could come up with an organized list of requests for Viveca.

[She's a teacher back home. Checklists are her life. Being organized is also a+, so she sounds incredibly excited by the prospect of being the one to actually get to do some organization.]

Soooo, [Yeah, that's stretched out and almost comes out in a whimsical, playful lilt.]

If anyone has any supplies they'd like to list off, request suggestions, or would like to be one of the first to take a supply kit whenever our next mission pops up...

[She trails off there. She figures everyone here will know what to do if they're interested. If you're watching in the sunlight room, she fingerguns at thin air. It's hard being an expressive person that uses their hands to talk in wild gestures when attempting to deliver a simple audio message.]

Unlike the previous users on this network, I'm one of the new arrivals, so I'll introduce myself: My name is Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III. I know, it's a mouthful. You can call me Percy. Where I'm from I'm an engineer and an inventor, and I've crafted weapons and bombs and other miscellaneous objects for my friends to use. The lab here is, I'll admit, far more advanced than my workshop back at home, but I'm getting the hang of it.

I've made this offer to a few of you already, but if we're all going to work together then I may as well make it a more public offer. Should any of you need a quick distraction, a secondary weapon, or some improvements to an object already in your possession, let me know and I'll see what I can do for you.

I would also like to speak with the other engineers and tinkerers aboard this station. I think most of you are far more used to working with workshops like the lab here than I am, and I'd be happy to learn from you. [Also more than a little bit jealous.] My world is not quite so advanced as many of those represented here, I think. (If anyone else is here from Exandria - let me know. If anyone else is also from a world with magic but without this level of technology, let me know as well, I need people to commiserate with.)

One final note: I've made some cosmetic improvements to the waffle maker and the popcorn machine in the kitchen. You're welcome.

[Indeed, if you were checking the kitchen the night before this post, you might've noticed that both had mysteriously disappeared. Check it now, and you'll find that the Doctor's waffle maker and popcorn machine, while still not looking anything like a Cuisinart model, also look more elegantly put-together and less like a metallic mishmash. Percy clearly cares a bit more about aesthetics than others, and there's an almost steampunk aesthetic to the appliances now.

They still work basically the same way though.]
