☄ Video | LOCKED TO DEFENSE PERSONNEL
[It's not often that Kaz does video posts, mostly because he doesn't think they're always necessary and he's used to a radio presence. This time, though, he shows his face. He's wearing his Moira uniform, but still with his Diamond Dogs beret and his sunglasses. He also has a custom made coat to go with it, a pair of gloves (only visible when he puts his hand into frame) meant to keep his prosthetic completely hidden, and is generally pretty well kept in a blond El Che kind of way. He's currently outside of the training sim room.]
Many people know me, but in case you don't, I'm Kazuhira Miller and I'm your new Head of Defense. Jim Barnes the younger has been assigned as my assistant.
This ship, as we all well know by this point, is not a safe ship. It's constantly faced with threats inside and out. Even if there were a firm sense of unity, a loyalty to the uniform, it wouldn't last. This most recent incident, like others before, proves that beyond a doubt. All it takes is a little outside influence an we're reverted to another state, another line of thought. We can disappear and come back for the worse. People can come in with diseases, with conditions they can't help, or with no reason to respect other members of the ship.
Because it's not a safe place [he resists pacing] I need some cooperation to make this ship more secure. I need some defense personnel willing and equipped to take reports on damage and question witnesses to come to me for assignments to investigate past incidents. Especially some recent ones. Also for some of our training specialists, be on hand for some new students. I'll try to direct more people to you.
It's not going to be possible to completely secure a ship like this travelling through the zones it's going through, so we got a pretty difficult job. But we don't have to accept it as it is, and there are past mistakes we can and should avoid repeating. I also want to hear ship defense ideas that can be organized and passed on to the captains...
☄ VIDEO | LOCKED TO OTHER DEPARTMENT HEADS AND ASSISTANT HEADS
Tell me about your current safety and security measures. Safeguarding information and valuables, zones of retreat during ship combat, so on and so forth. I would also like to request some additional services for anyone planning to engage attackers. Armor, weapons, scanners, medical training and gear to tide them over until assigned and volunteer medics can arrive.
OOC: Dated to after the Jasper and Megatron incidents/after jobs are finalized.

I would like to know what to prioritize when doing prep work.
no subject
Still, that won't help if a situation develops into something dangerous after seeming relatively innocuous on the surface, as at Del Pascia.
no subject
I'll let you know about prep results as soon as they're finalized. If you find out anything that needs enhanced, threats we didn't anticipate, let me know and I'll do what I can to patch any holes.
Hard as hell though, isn't it? [When you have no idea what's coming or what's out there.]

[Indeed, he sounds sort of casually determined.]
It will help if the new Captains deal with us honestly -- I don't like being in a situation where we're so dependent on others for knowledge. They know the universe, they know the environment... even at times when they don't know a specific area, the probability that they might is much higher for them than it would be for any of us. And they have access to any materials their organization has given them... we have access to whatever they give to us.
[On a different tack:]
If I were going to attack this ship with the idea of disabling it, I'd attack the wings or the engines, maybe both. See if you can prepare a basic plan to defend the wings themselves in the event of an approach: they're exposed, and they're relatively fragile. Mr. Saitama may be able to help. To be honest, it's likely that paying special attention to them as part of a more global and cohesive strategy will be enough, but just in case....

The other idea is to speak with Benjamin Link.
He might be able to provide enough information to fill in the holes.
[He's going to quietly hang onto his Fast-Penta for now. Just in case.]
no subject
[As far as L is concerned, the best practice is always to assume that you've probably already been hacked and to behave accordingly.]
Benjamin Link... you were here when he joined the crew, yes? I wasn't.
no subject
Yes. I was there. During his efforts to get us out of lockdown, too.
