This roster. It seems other people have gotten it too. It's obviously evidence for what was happening here, but also a good suggestion.

They had a Chief of Security. Where I'm from, my job was to keep things secure and safe. So unless someone has reasonable objections to it, I'm going to continue that work here. Call me Chief of Security or not. I don't care.

I'm going to mark areas known to be dangerous, like the sinking doors. If there are any other locations you notice and are worried about let me know. And if anyone personally does anything harmful to another person then I will step in and stop it.

I've no reason to oppose you, Samus. I can take care of myself, but if I need assistance, I will call upon you.

In turn, I will be operating as a doctor here until further notice. Inform me if you need medical services.

[chozobloodrites]

Good. Has anyone else had any more strange medical problems, like the device under your skin?

audio; un: rocipilot

[donkeyballs]

Wait, wait, hold up. [The voice that comes over the device has a clear texan drawl to it, and he sounds very concerned.]

Sure, we just got a doc that outlines what - I imagine - must've been the crew roster that came before us, but we ain't that crew.

I'm all for helpin' out to keep things safe, but last thing we need is people declarin' themselves chief.

[chozobloodrites]

I'm not declaring martial law. But I know how to keep others safe, especially in harsh environments. This place can be a harsh environment.

Do we have to worry about this one?

With all due respect, who the hell are you?

NEVER APOLOGIZE, SAMUS NEEDS BOBBIE TO GIVE HER SHIT

[chozobloodrites]

My name is Samus Aran. If you need a full list of credentials and accomplishments I'll send them.

[mitsubishis]

Yeah. I, uh, reasonably object. What the fuck?

[chozobloodrites]

... And the objection is?

[thefaulty]

What penalties would be incurred for bringing harm to another being?

[Given Arid’s track record, it seems a relevant question to ask.]

[chozobloodrites]

Making sure that it can't happen again.

[hopefragment]

[If Hajime had arrived here even a few days earlier, he wouldn't have cared overmuch. Unfortunately, he had an absolutely terrible experience with people in security, and he can't help a kneejerk reaction of anger and resentment.]

how do you decide who's in the right, and who's worth protecting?

[chozobloodrites]

As long as they are not actively seeking to harm others, everyone is worth protecting.

[ Akechi very deliberately speaks in a soft, neutral voice, nothing argumentative about it: ]

I believe you can offer your assistance just fine without declaring yourself a position of authority. Surely you can understand why a move like that strikes people as threatening?

[ normally, he would have just played along with this. a dictatorship would be just fine as long as he can find a place to fit and a role to play within it— but. but, he did just die for assuming that. the bullet wound hasn't even healed yet. besides, he knows this wouldn't go smoothly; there are people who are bound to fight it. ]

[chozobloodrites]

Yes. But it's not my intention to use it as authority. It's my intention to be a recognizable title for people in need. If the title is offensive I can change it.

[counterfeitheart]

Despite the fact that I'd definitely be willing to let you handcuff me...

I feel like this is unnecessarily confrontational.

[chozobloodrites]

It's a statement of what I intend to do. If someone finds it confrontational then they took it wrong.

audio; un: quicksilver

[supersonic]

You say 'safe' and 'secure', but what I hear sounds more like some thug deciding what safety and security means for everyone else. Perhaps some of us do not want you to 'step in' wherever you see fit.

[chozobloodrites]

If someone thinks safety and security doesn't mean protecting others from harm then they have the wrong definition. And if they don't want me to stop them from getting hurt then that's their choice. It's also my choice to keep protecting them.

[wingstosee]

hmm.
samus, right?
we talked some earlier. you wanted to make a map, i think?
i think marking areas is a good idea. i'm glad you're helping out around the station.

but...
i also think i kind of hate the idea of a security chief?
not just calling you it. the idea of having one at all.
no offense.
or maybe a little offense? i don't know.

[chozobloodrites]

All right. Do you have a reason?

un:millerlite

[pampa]

Earthers always think they know whats best. Alright Gravity Slave, tell us your BRILLIANT plan for keeping us all "safe" when you don't know a goddamn thing about this station the same as the rest of us.

[chozobloodrites]

What is an "Earther?" Slang for human?

I know how to stay alive in new environments. I know how to keep others alive. So my plan is to keep us all alive while we discover more about this station. Together.

audio; un: srogers

[unshielding]

I'd like to help keep the area safe, ma'am, but maybe you should tell us a little bit about yourself before you start expecting anyone to take orders from you.

[chozobloodrites]

I am a bounty hunter. It's my job to go into dangerous situations to save lives and stop whatever is causing the danger.

My experience is spending most of my life defending others and stopping dangerous situations in the galaxy.

I don't have a reason to lie. We're all on the same station, what advantage would I have?

audio, un: brightness_kholin

[veristitalian]

There's a distinction between working to keep the place safe and taking authority over the population here.

There are other people as qualified as you here to formally assume that role, and it's inappropriate to unilaterally claim it. I object on the basis that there are other people who should be considered for the position formally if it's open.

I would propose you do the work as you see fit, but not claim the title whether or not we call you that.

[chozobloodrites]

Hm. That's a reasonable objection. It's not my goal to claim authority, just to be a recognizable source to go to for those who need help or have concerns.

[One of the perks of living in the communication system? It's really easy to track the public calls and responses. Hank waits a while for the back and forth on this one to settle. He can't say he's too surprised by the responses, though it is a little disturbing how overwhelming the rejection is.]

By sinking doors, you mean the ones that eat people? Can't say if it'll stay that way, but I can add one instance to your list.

No problem!

[chozobloodrites]

Yes.

Which door? Who did it happen to?
