'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.

[ it's a solid suggestion, but they all come from varied backgrounds. who is good enough to wrangle all of those dissonant personalities and cultures? ]

It's a big ask. Not sure if anyone wants to volunteer for that either.

[callada]

Yeah. But you never know what might strike someone's fancy, I guess.

The pre-mission supply prep though, I don't mind volunteering for. And the more hands that join in, the faster it'll go.

[scarcastically]

That's a good place to start.

[ better than potential "leadership" positions. ]

I can handle weapons prep.

[callada]

Thanks. Let me know if you end up needing a hand with that. You might want to talk to the folks in the lab, too. I know a few people grabbed some exotic weapons from that last place we were and it might be nice to make that a regular thing - take what we find, get someone to study it, see if we can make more to keep our own supplies up.

That instant weapon-making machine only works so well, after all.

[ he nods. ]

I'm already on it. I grabbed the energy weapons from our last one. Just working on making sure they hold a charge long enough to be reusable.

[callada]

Glad to hear it. I'll be interested in checking those out once you have an idea of what works and what doesn't.

[ fingerguns! ]

I'll keep you posted.
