[OPEN, in progress] the hard life of an officer
Characters: Cordelia Naismith, open to anyone in Valora
Setting/Location: anywhere public in the Valora base, except the chemical spill area
Date & Time: afternoon/evening of the 3rd day
Warnings: None, I think... (Sideswipe? crazy people?)
Briefing: Your friendly local officer is walking around the base, talking to people, keeping an eye on things. Note: this is during the chemical spill event. Cordelia's mostly unaffected, but she'll be trying to help anyone who is. Non-crazy people also welcome. 8D
Given the average disposition of the Valoran conscripts, Cordelia privately thought the chemical spill was something of an improvement, overall. Several people certainly sounded happier than before.
Still, she knew enough about mood-altering drugs and one's first exposure to them (Betan society was extremely easygoing) to realize not everyone would be dealing well. This kind of thing shouldn't be done haphazardly. Her own reaction was not on the good side - the stuff was vaguely reminiscent of Dr. Mehta's incense stick, and Cordelia still wasn't sure whether her anxiety and stuttering for the first half hour after exposure was a bona fide drug reaction or simply memory-induced stress.
Either way, she had calmed down without much trouble (and without any unintended network posts, unlike some people) - she had a lot of practice with it. Given that, she decided she was safe to go outside, and the chemical spill was only more or a reason to walk around the base and make sure everyone was all right.
[OOC: I'm doing this as a one-person-at-a-time log, i.e. every response gets its own thread and we assume they're all going on at different times. Or feel free to jump in on a preexisting thread as well, since they're all in public.]
