[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...

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.

While I understand the need for a weapon to incapacitate, I'd like to preface what I'm about to say with the fact that our race has a...poor history...when it comes to involving Earthlings, and organics in general, with out interpersonal conflicts. My concern is that a weapon designed to incapacitate could also easily be modified to do much worse.

It's not that I don't trust you. It's that there are precedents for this where I come from.

I would be more than happy to work with you on the development on such a device, however, I ask that we negotiate terms to its use. And on that note, I do have another idea.

I would like to put together a small task force made of like-minded organics and Cybertronians alike. They will be thoroughly vetted and trained in the usage of such devices. Given the way you carry yourself, is it safe to assume you have a background in the military? If so, I'd be more than happy to work with you in training a small group of people for this.

I think this is a phenomenal idea. I'll be extending an open invitation to those who wish to apply shortly.

It's...regrettable. Our size is not exactly convenient when it comes to integrating with other races. It makes me wish mass displacement was more readily available to more of our kind.

I do have a question. What accommodations have been made when it comes to incarceration of races of our size? While this is a worst case scenario, if incarceration is our only recourse, I'd like to know if there is a brig of suitable size.

Agreed.

I've taken note of the fact that many humans aboard have...unique...abilities. I was not aware that humans had their own Outliers. Is there a directory that lists the powers and abilities of the general crew?

Tarn?

I see...I am sorry you've already had the misfortune of dealing with him.
