15. empty sirens

May 29, 2009 21:43

The Police Force seems like it's in real trouble right now, with such a lack of people enlisting in it. Maybe I should force suggest to Huey that he enlist as a junior officer... if they have junior officers. That might be a good experience for him growing up ( Read more... )

being a hero is hard, trying to save the world, tsurugi being a do-gooder, questioning the city, #huey-chan, tsurugi being normal, #the police

Seein' as almost my entire crew ha' shown up recently, I'd ha' tae agree with ye.

voice; sword_boy May 30 2009, 05:26:31 UTC

I know. I wasn't really paying attention to your ship's crew, until Chekov told me about the Starship... and after that it only seemed like they all arrived overnight.

...and I know I've welcomed a lot of people in these few weeks.

Ye think they're preparin' fer somethin'?

voice; sword_boy May 30 2009, 05:34:03 UTC

My running belief is if they are preparing for something, it's something for their express amusement.

Watch it be some big curse, where everyone suddenly freaks out over being the wrong gender or something. The Deities seem to like maximum exposure if I've noticed anything.

...The police...really?

sword_boy May 30 2009, 05:46:42 UTC

Why not?

I vaguely remember you saying that you wanted to improve your self-defense skills after that awful curse when you got murdered. Why not take up the police?

child_radical May 30 2009, 05:54:02 UTC

I can defend myself Tsurugi. And the police don't have such a program nor will they ever. Hopefully.

1/2 sword_boy May 30 2009, 05:58:28 UTC

Then maybe I can suggest one...

There's enough people in this City, who aren't normal per say. They should have enough power to help protect those who are completely normal.

...at worse, they could develop a buddy system with one older officer, and one younger officer...

Not all officers are 'field officers'?

[police filter]
Unfortunately, several of our members have returned to their home worlds, though I can't blame them for that, given that we all try to leave.

Did you have a particular department you'd like to be in?

sword_boy May 30 2009, 06:03:08 UTC

Huh?

[police filter]
I completely understand the problem behind that. Hence why I am particularly worried about the state of the police.

I'm not sure really. What would be your suggestion?

snapofmyfingers May 30 2009, 06:13:29 UTC

There are desk jobs too.

[police filter]
Yes, it does make it harder to try to protect people.

Hm. Probably Intelligence or Special Assault and Tactics would suit you best?

sword_boy May 30 2009, 06:18:38 UTC

True. I don't what I was thinking exactly, but just jobs that we could use the youth of the city to help out effectively. I wasn't thinking of a division between desk jobs and field jobs.

[police filter]
Maybe I can act between both divisions? If not, probably Special Assault and Tactics would probably be best. My Rider System makes me very powerful if some conflict were to develop.

I'm not sure what gave you the idea that we're in real trouble.

And I can't speak for the Colonel, but I can almost guarantee that we do not have, nor will we ever have, junior officer programs. We are not career day.

sword_boy May 30 2009, 06:26:46 UTC

I'm probably thinking along the lines of what Reno said recently. I've also noticed the roster, and maybe that's why I am finding such fault.

I wasn't thinking along the lines of career day. I was hoping we could use some of our more talented youth towards helping the City at large.

morethanasuit May 30 2009, 06:28:15 UTC

A few people leaving hardly cripples us.

There are far more productive methods than having them help investigate crimes or pursue violent criminals.

sword_boy May 30 2009, 06:30:52 UTC

True, but it does hinder us to some degree.

I wasn't thinking of them investigating crimes or pursuing violent criminals. If anything, I was hoping they could help with patrols, or helping out at the station in general.

Isn't Huey-kun a little young for that?

sword_boy May 30 2009, 17:36:41 UTC

Maybe, but it would be a good experience. He keeps saying he's well-trained, and wants to be trained even better. I don't see why he shouldn't be able to do something like that.

revengeisalie May 30 2009, 17:53:00 UTC

Still, the police deals with really dangerous individuals.

sword_boy May 30 2009, 18:00:00 UTC

Huey claims that he can defend himself. I don't him being put in some sort of harsh patrol like in the Underground, but somewhere simple like the main plaza where nothing is likely to happen.

I want to help him to continue to develop this ability to defend himself, and sometimes being put in the front line is the way to go. Here and his world aren't bound by the perils of war. My world is...
