This One Just Became a Leadership Conversation

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. ]

It's okay. I know it sounds like chaos but Stacia is a Ragabash. If anyone can be in charge of an anarcho-syndicalist commune it's her.

[prettycoolguy]

Is that a title?

[ He can guess the gist of anarcho-syndicalist commune. ]

Basically. It's more of a job description. Don't worry about it. I'm just cracking jokes to relieve the tension. People can get kinda... touchy about this stuff.

A joking aside Stacia is frighteningly competent for her age and she isn't power hungry, just willing to help.

Notice how answering your initial questioned like she did forced everyone to come together and give a straight answer. Even if it wasn't as simple as someone actually being in charge.
