III [audio/multilingual]

[powerofgod]

Are there any here who possess experience operating in positions of authority, and who would be willing to listen to a proposition

...what are you considering?

[Audio//English]

[powerofgod]

I daresay I asked for credentials prior to any divulgence of information.

Re: [Audio//English]

[ntjstapwn]

Of course, but its a bit hard to do so when no one from my world is here. I can give you references from the ship--the events of the last month or so, at least.

If you want information from my world, I'd prefer to speak in person.

[Audio//English]

[powerofgod]

I am willing to extend the same trust to others that I am asking in return. Your word is sufficient.

I am in my room.

I'll be there shortly.

*And..he is, since Marco was in his room and its only on deck off. He knocks lightly on Godric's door.*

[Commentlog]

[powerofgod]

Enter.

[A familiar meeting, this. He nods to Marco as he enters. The single chair is back.]

Re: [Commentlog]

[ntjstapwn]

*Indeed, though with less questions about the dangers he may be facing by walking into the room this time. (Not to say that Marco trusts Godric not to attack--though stalking on the network seems to hint he's not likely to--just that this conversation is less of an unknown.)
Not surprised that the decour is the same, Marco moves the chair to the same place he put it before and sits.
Marco has been drinking, but he's nowhere near drunk. If Godric's senses are above human he can smell it, otherwise Marco looks perfectly sober (this interupted him before he even got a buzz going ;;)*

What do you need to know?

[Commentlog]

[powerofgod]

[He smells the alcohol, but there is no mistaking Marco's sobriety. Godric tips his head to one side before he speaks.]

You have some experience in a body of the American military. What rank did you achieve there?

[Commentlog]

[ntjstapwn]

*Marco shakes his head.*

I was only an Airman when I was forced to retire. I worked for a private company after that. More like an undercover police man than anything else. *He shrugs a bit*

Granted I worked alone most of the time, but I have some experience in coordinating teams. Usually smaller ones... *he frowns a bit, remembering the chaos cause by everyone wanting to do something about Jenjen*

I can't really say if anything I can do would be helpful without at least a hint of what you're looking for, though.

[Commentlog]

[powerofgod]

I am looking to organize groups of people, according to ability and experience, who can be mobilized in the event of ship-wide conflicts.

[Commentlog]

[ntjstapwn]

*Marco raises an eyebrow, then laughs*

I'm not sure how possible that even is, given how little organization there was during the last 'ship-wide conflict,' but I know a number of people who would be useful to such efforts. At least two would probably be willing to help outright. *He sighs* ...And a few people you'll wish to avoid if possible. Or at least be careful with.

I suppose it depends on the type of conflicts you seek to deal with, but if you'll have me, I'll work with you in this.
I expect that means more questions, though.

[Commentlog]

[powerofgod]

[Having arrived at the tail end of it, he was privy to some of the aftermath, and the open comm-lines as well. He nods.]

Any structure is better than none at all. Are you at liberty to give me the names of those who might help? The others as well.

[He stands, then. It's a very abrupt gesture, though it's nowhere near the speed he is capable of, even restricted as he is by the ship. He is more deliberate, though, when he approaches Marco.]

Any interventions will be scaled appropriately to the abilities of the person or persons involved.

[He holds out a hand. Partners?]

[Commentlog]

[ntjstapwn]

Remy would be your best bet to speak with first. He's supposed to know more about this place than anyone else, so odds are he knows who'd be useful.
I worked with Vincent Valentine earlier, and he seems quite capable. I'd suggest looking into the Major as well, but I haven't spoken to her much.
If you've looked over the comms *He knows you have; Godric knew about the frogs* I'm sure you can think of a few others.

There's a man named 'Razer' who seems to know what he's doing, but I wouldn't trust him.

I'd be wary of working with Ironhide, though. He's capable, but egotistical and does not work well with teams. I'm not sure the best way to deal with him yet, but you might do better with him than I do. He doesn't have a very high opinion of humans.
...And there are a great deal of lose cannons on this ship, but most of them are very obvious.

*Marco stands when Godric does. He still doesn't show any fear of the vampire, though its hard to tell why he doesn't.
He smiles and shakes firmly. Partners.*

[Commentlog]

[powerofgod]

[He files those names away for later use, with only a nod to indicate his having heard them.]

Thank you.

[That aspect of the business is concluded. He steps back and away from Marco, and resumes his casual cross-legged spot on the bed.]

What areas do you specialize in?

[Commentlog]

[ntjstapwn]

*Marco sits back down as well. He shrugs a bit, and looks more like he's discussing Local Sporting Event than anything serious*

Mostly intelligence gathering. I still consider myself a soldier, but its been awhile since I saw real combat.

[Commentlog]

[powerofgod]

You are young to have seen it at all.

[For the times, at least. His statement is neither patronizing nor pitying.]

That is no less useful than front-line combat.
