My name is Kazuhira Miller. I've been around for a while, and mostly I've been focusing on building my own small business. But I have noticed that there are a good number of us that, while there are some general assignments the Savrii provide for extra wages, still don't have a good use for our talents, so I'm gauging interest for a project. [There's a splash of water and a clank of glasses. Ignore him, he's multi-tasking.]
What I'm proposing, and what I will bring before the Savrii if there's adequate interest, is a Rescue and Recovery program. With Ingress activity having the potential to go awry or with natural disasters in Ingress accessible worlds, or allying worlds that might need to call on us for help, some people with appropriate skills could go on rescue missions. Especially when there are children or endangered animals at risk. It wouldn't matter if it was a complete disaster or a low grade backyard rescue. We have a lot of people and a lot of resources for it.
It would require investors, donations, part-time or volunteer work. People willing to offer medical facilities for recovery, since it wouldn't really be fair of us to rescue someone and then charge them for the retrieval.
[If you run that kind of business then you ask for the money up front.]
Also people actually going into these situations would be deserving of hazard pay. Even for a less than strenuous mission.
And... I was thinking- [here's the catch] -the best way to draw attention to the need for money in this sort of venture would be some sort of regular broadcast. I'm not sure how shows [television? hologram? How do semi-future planet media] work here exactly but that's something I would need more information on and another reason this project would require more than one handler. [And there goes the clank of some plates.]
I've not received any approval for the project but I thought I would gauge interest. [And a metallic clatter and crash in the background.] Shi- [Cut off silence. After a beat?] Let me take care of this and then I'll be back.
Does anyone here know how to fix the lid to a futuristic industrial dishwasher? That I can pay for myself.

Re: text;
... i'm sorry if my powers brought up any terrible memories for you, kazuhira. if i had known, i wouldn't have subjected you to it. i am curious, though - how did a parasite get onto the ship?
[At least, that's what he's guessing the other man is talking about; he's also making the assumption that the teleporting Kazuhira is speaking of is all smoke and lingering sulfur just like his, too.]
Re: text;
[He might have shot the responsible party's arm and leg off in retaliation. Or at least he helped it happen.]
It wasn't on the ship. It was at home. An ambush. They killed my entire unit.
They were lethal weapons. So I'll be honest and while I'm still adjusting, you don't seem anything like them. I've yet to see anything hostile from you.
Re: text;
[Again, he wants to ask, but he doesn't want to come off as nosy or seem like he's prying.]
... oh, i thought you meant
nevermind
it doesn't matter what i meant
[He stares at the TAB, unsure as to what else he can say besides apologizing for a second time; Kurt knows how annoying that is to some people, though.]
honestly, i'm not an angry person. it takes a lot for me to get that way and even then, i'll usually avoid any hostility.
Re: text;
I probably get a lot angrier. I've just not had the excuse.
[He's actually closer to his old personality, at least in being affable. Now that Cipher is no longer a fixture. Give him a good reason, though, and there would be hell to pay.]
Re: text;
i'd be worried if you got angry. well, more-so i'd be trying to figure out how to help calm you down to piece together what put you in that mood.
[Thankfully, Kurt's not one to rile people up to see the outcome - Kazuhira included in that, of course.]
Re: text;
[Holding him still or getting directly in his face- not with hostility, but with distractingly good intentions -tends to help him find the inner peace that's in his name. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of people that get that close.]
Don't worry, if something makes me that angry, I'll take care of it. It wouldn't be on you.
[He doesn't even know if he feels right asking someone else to be in on that kind of thing anymore.]
Re: text;
[It could be a risk, but he'd be willing to take it, if it meant helping calm Kazuhira from a distressed state. He's learning medical stuff from Adrien, so perhaps this is something he could inquire about.]
no, but i'd like to help. friends are supposed to look out for each other, yes?
Pretend I remembered to make that text up there.
[It's embarrassing to explain. He doesn't want to say that a pair of arms firmly wrapped around him or someone he likes leaning in close is like emotional anesthetic. It sounds trite. And also not the right thing to say to a kid that is probably barely more than half his age, if that.]
[It's nice that Kurt considers him a friend. But he seems to have a big heart in general.]
I'll let you know if it comes up. I can see why you're interested in this sort of thing. [A non-answer, but it at least acknowledges the sentiment is respected.]
/waves hand, i saw nothing
well
[Now, Kurt's at a loss for words; he wants to know, but he doesn't want to pry. For the moment, he'll let it go and see about bringing it up at a later date, instead of putting all his effort into finding out now.
He honestly has the biggest heart and doesn't know when to quit.]
that works for me! really, you can? [Also a perfect new topic for him to grasp onto.]
no subject
I have a friend who's like that. He doesn't get to do it too much as he'd like, though. [They kind of turned a healer into a killer.] That's why I decided to do this.
I admit it's not the most generous reason, but I have confidence in that kind of determination prevailing.
no subject
that's too bad. does he just not get the chance to or are there other circumstances? [That would probably be a 'circumstance,' in this case.] i'm glad to be able to help.
a lot of people have joked that my middle name should be 'diligence' or 'determination.' sometimes, i think they're right.
no subject
[He's careful to refer to it as his 'American' name, since it's the name that's had less of an impact on his life. At this point at least. He still considers himself Japanese.]
Other circumstances. I made sure he had some chances. [Just like he is now. Even before he knew who he was, how they both had been used, he still made sure he still had the sort of contracts that he seemed to have taken to.]
no subject
[He isn't sure what else other people would think of Kazuhira and with their current standing, Kurt doesn't know enough about him to know if he's 'blessed' or not.]
at least he was given a few. [Again, his curiosity is piqued about who they are talking about, but much like earlier, he won't ask.]
no subject
[He doesn't finish that. Mostly because he's already been called on it already, and he doesn't want to think about that.]
Don't worry about it. As long as this works out to some extent, I'll have accomplished what I set out to do.
no subject
okay, i'll do my best. i hope that you are successful with your goal!
