Hello.

As several before me have noted: given our circumstances, it is more crucial now than ever before that we cooperate and share any relevant information that could be of benefit to us all. However, the accessibility of this knowledge is also essential. If we have no sense of organization, then we add unnecessary frustration at least and risk at most.

I've accumulated a list of known locations and some general statistical information, which I encourage you to add to at your discretion. I believe it would be in our best interests to know the following about each of you as well:

1. Please list your name and ID.
2. Do you have any medical, technical, or mechanical skills?
3. Do you have any advanced skills in another area that you think would be of assistance?
4. Would you be comfortable using these skills if asked?

Also, I've taken the liberty to sort out how to increase security protocols. If you wish to know how this works, feel free to contact me here or privately.

Thank you.

[ ooc: So, head's up! Permission was granted to have Ryo fix up these filters for you all, but here's your catch (if you're interested): Ryo will be leaving a security loophole or "backdoor" as it were for himself (with your permission) to easily exploit so his ability to eavesdrop will be maximized. Please refer to his permission's post here if you're fine with him doing as much.

Also, if your character wouldn't agree to this? Please refer to the permissions anyhow if you eventually might be interested in this kind of technological eavesdropping. Thank you! ]

[ Ryo lets out a little breath. It'd angle at "annoyed," but this is Akira. And Ryo knows he can't disguise the softer edges to his expressions. ]

private:

I'd have questions if you hadn't found out how to message someone.
Have you used the video and camera functions?

[dvmn]

[He's mostly just fuckin' with him.

Mostly.]

uhhh
I know theyre there
but no I haven't used them yet

[A low noise sounds in his throat, and he lifts the communicator a little closer to his face and punches in a few buttons and, ding!, Ryo receives an image.

And guess what it basically is.]

there you go

[Cue a very smug look.]

[luciformis]

[ Ryo knows how good you are with technology, Akira. The answer is: not very.

Ryo watches this affair peripherally and isn't surprised by the actual contents of the message, though his eyebrows still lift a little as it loads on his communicator's screen. Instead, he just... Turns his attention after a beat, his gaze steady and flat. But, there's something about the corners of his expression that gives him away as it always does with Akira. ]

private:

I changed my mind.
I'll think of something else to suggest to you.

[ He's probably not serious. ]

[dvmn]

[Cue a peal of cackling laughter from where Akira's sprawled out on his part of the couch.

He knows Ryo has to be aware it's only fun to tease him because he reacts like this.]

private:

aw come onnnnn ryo
that's no fun

[Glancing up would yield Akira with a very broad, very thin, very attentive smile.]

[luciformis]

[ A lesser mortal would throw something at him. Ryo is not a lesser mortal, but he considers the action for a moment with a particular satisfaction. Instead, there's what could have been an eye roll on anyone else. For Ryo, it's just a side-ward glance up from his communicator, with all the vague exasperation that can be mustered. Never mind that stupid smile sparks something a little brighter in the blue of his eyes. ]

I need more images of locations in the station and the perimeter of hazardous zones.
You can do it if you'd like.

[ A small pause and then: ]

Provided you keep yourself out of the camera.

[dvmn]

[No worries; Akira can always cut down through all of that performative irritation down to the beating heart of it, that Ryo really did appreciate it when he teased him like this.

Because, I mean, come on. Someone's gotta.]

hazardous zones?
I mean yeah sure as long as you send me the specifics of what you want me to take pictures of

[Because otherwise he will just wander around aimlessly taking pictures of whatever strikes his fancy.

He feigns shock and offense.]

it's really difficult but I think I'll manage

[luciformis]

Areas that are cordoned off, known to have troublesome spots, or are otherwise inaccessible.

[ From a distance goes unsaid, but the implication is there. Please, Akira, just don't touch the walls again.

But, that's true. No one else seems to bother or if they do, it isn't because they're genuinely kind about it. Even still, he lets out a little, half-hearted sigh as he taps away quickly at his communicator and then throws him another glance. One corner of his mouth quirks almost imperceptibly. ]

You should have them.

[ Sure enough, there's already a pop-up requesting something be downloaded on Akira's communicator. ]

[dvmn]

[he's going to touch every wall]

ok sure
I remember where most of those are from wandering around, shouldn't be an issue

[It'll at least keep him from going mad with boredom around here.

The communicator dings and he accepts the download, afterward opening the file to see the list. He laughs.]

yeah that's about what I expected
alright I'll start on that soon
anything else?

[luciformis]

Nothing for now.

[ There's something a little soft at the corners of his expression when he laughs. ]

Contact me if you have any issues. I'll come find you.

[ Of course he will. ]

[dvmn]

alright, alright

[He stands in one fluid motion, passing by Ryo on the way to the door. He reaches out to muss the guy's hair as he does so, giving him an impish grin before he disappears through the door and into the station.]
