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. ]

Nope direct democracy. Full on herding cats.

I mean we need someone to lead during fights, obviously, but beyond that, there's a lot of stuff that can be debated and decided as a group.

I mean, it's a lot of people, sure, but we've had a lot of time to talk in this place.

[ ...sometimes, Tim thinks he spends too much time with Kon. There are moments where they're very in sync. He supposes Kon is thinking how much Tim equated leading Young Justice to herding cats, which it was, and so he is very, very glad that he has not in any way suggested that he could be a potential shepherd.

No thank you. Tim has no faith whatsoever in the notion that a group this large can peacefully row the same boat without a coxswain. A group less than a quarter of this size, of similar ages and circumstances, couldn't do it with a leader, a designated supervising adult, and an entire trolley car of mentors and parents breathing down their necks.

Backseat driving it shall be. ]

Meow.

I'll be in your corner if it comes to a vote on direct democracy plus a fighting director. It's very ancient Rome, but luckily I don't think the camp would tolerate a Caesar.
