This One Just Became a Leadership Conversation

[prettycoolguy]

This is Spartan One-One-Seven broadcasting on an unknown communications array.

[ A few members of the team have seen the Master Chief around, but he hasn't made major contact before now. For most of the group, it's the first time they've seen this scarred face. And for one of them, it's far from the first. ]

I understand that this is a different world than the one I come from, and we have no way to return until we accomplish an... objective.

[ An objective that they all have only vaguely heard about from a weird hallucination. He doesn't have to say that part. They already know. ]

This being the case, I'm offering my skills.

I have significant experience leading teams on a variety of ops. I can work longterm on terrain like this. You can count on me in a fight.

But first of all, I do need to know who's in charge of this outfit.

[ Bless his entire heart. ]

Please do. If you must fight someone here, try and refrain from killing them, I don't think we'll always have the luxury of people rushing in to stop it.

[prettycoolguy]

I don't turn to lethal answers unnecessarily.

This isn't a war.

[ Yet. ]

[hasapoint]

Good for you.

[Need listens to some of the stuff going on elsewhere in the post.]

Wishing someone else had asked your question yet?

[prettycoolguy]

Might be.

[ Yes. Very yes. ]

[hasapoint]

[Need is more amused by the whole mess, but she may as well be kind.]

I can't make you do anything, but if I can suggest just laying the mirror face down and walking away once you've had enough? It'll be there when you want it again. If it helps, I've been here longer and things aren't always this contentious.

[Whether they will be in the future... well, whatever.]
