"We're talking about the various stuff that goes on on the space station I'm from. It is a lot of stuff."

[TheBiggerFish]

"Or similar stations at least."

[Twinwolf]

"...And here I was thinking my life was dangerous."

[TheBiggerFish]

"I don't think Nanotrasen likes to publish their job-related casualty rates much."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Sachi just looks comically horrified.

[Powder Miner]

"Bah, casualty rates aren't THAT high. Except for a... special few, we know what we're doing even in medical (where you got folks like me), and if you die you can just get cloned back into action.

Plus, good luck attacking the Leviticus and surviving. Security shoots you until you die, if they die then engineering probably beats you down, and I even saw a grey tide kill an ENTIRE nuke op team once."

[TheBiggerFish]

"Still, much crazy happens.

A huh?"

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"W-w-w-wuh...."

[Twinwolf]

"Why the hell do you still work there?"

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Garnt chooses now to speak up.
"...a question, then. Why are we the only ones here? What makes you think anybody will listen to decisions we have made here, practically in secret? We have tried to elect leaders of sorts even before all this, as a group, and we've tried electing multiple people at a time as well. Nothing came of it, all the same. What has changed this time?"

((elf

mio is has to respond ;-;))

"What has changed is necessity. There are too many unknowns, too many dangers and too much tension and arguments to leave this group without some form of authority or conflict management that doesn't involve physical assault or petrification."

[TCM]

"How much did the last election do? Ever since I've been here, I haven't seen anyone addressed by any rank or enforce some sort of operation. If there are further problems or discord among the team a leading council, even if it was just composed of the people in this room, would be more than enough to handle it."

[Powder Miner]

"Why do I still work there? Well, Sol is a poor shithole, the colonies either have nothing there or are warring, and the other places in space have the same things going on -- and I'm not exactly heading into syndie space or cultist space.

Besides, when I became a paramedic, I made an oath to help people. All that goes on? It's not enough to scare me away or dissuade me, because I made an oath.

Also, Alanis, grey tide, as in a bunch of assistants, who are usually completely worthless and don't do anything, and at worst are violent nutters, though they're still better than the god damn CLOWNS. Anyway, there were a LOT of assistants, and the nukies were fleeing from a potential security encounter... right into the assistants... who all had toolboxes, oxygen tanks, and fire extinguishers. The nuke ops didn't stand a chance. "

[BlitzDungeoneer]

"The previous 'election' did nothing. The one before that also did nothing. And that is my point. What makes you think this time will be different?"

((no ;-;))
"What has changed is necessity. There are too many unknowns, too many dangers and too much tension and arguments to leave this group without some form of authority or conflict management that doesn't involve physical assault or petrification."

"You talk of necessity, but a leader was a necessity from the moment that incident with Bisnif happened. And yet, even though the entire group came together twice to try to decide on one, nothing ever came of it. It is why I am asking what makes you think that us deciding on the leadership here, with no input from anyone else, will help, will convince others to work together."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"I'll answer that with your own criticism. What makes you think this will be any better with the whole group?"
