VIDEO/TEXT;

[A new video post pings on your cool new communication device! It opens automatically, but seems to display the option for text-based, too, if you'd prefer not to have to watch or listen. An attachment is also present. The camera clicks on, centered on the head and shoulders of a woman with a military bearing, at ease—but no less businesslike.]

Hello all, and thank you for taking the time to listen to me. I've provided a text transcription, for those who'd prefer it.

To those of you who don't know me, my name is Shepard. Before Thisavrou, I lived on board the Moira, the ship many of us were pulled to—but before the Moira, I grew up on, and lived aboard ships and man-made satellites my entire life—and if there's one thing they've always consistently needed, it's routine maintenance, and reliable, ship or station-wide communication.

I know many of you have already taken the repair and renewal of this station into your own hands, and that just goes to show what an incredible group of people we have on board right now. The teamwork that went into the development of the new communication devices are a clear tribute to that effort. But while a lot of this has been accomplished simply via word-of-mouth, going forward, it would be good to have a public list of who is working on what, and where.

The goal is to compile a clear record of where people are at—so we know what areas require more help, or who people can contact if they want to volunteer to assist. What I'm not looking to do is push people into roles they're not comfortable with taking—this is all volunteer-based, to build our current home into something better.

So: here's the categories and areas I have so far: General station cleanup, including organization, pest control, and so on. Sanitation and life support, including air, water, and waste maintenance. Medical, including cryo technology. Technology and engineering, including maintenance and improvements. Bartering block occupants. Greenhouse and garden, including maintenance and improvements. General security, including guarding, shifts rota and patrols. Sports and leisure, including the bar, gym, and sundry entertainment areas.

Please feel free to add to that, and please let me know if I've forgotten anything. Once again, I am not any kind of authority on this—this is strictly a publicly-available volunteer chart, and I am merely providing the space for us to organize it in one place. You don't have to take part, or even acknowledge me in the slightest. I have avoided filling out any names ahead of time to allow people to place themselves where they feel they fit best, or where they have already been active.

Once again, thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from all of you soon. If you have any questions, comments, or otherwise, feel free to message me directly, or come by and talk to me in person. I currently reside in Sector... [There's a pause—had she ever said it out loud?—but there's no change in her professional demeanor as she continues:] ...Sad Cat, Unit 8-10. I look forward to meeting with you.

[The video clicks off, but the text transcription stays visible—as does the attached sheet with all the categories she listed. The blanks go on and on, inviting you to fill them out yourself, with zero limits—adding other people you know, or volunteering yourself!]



[OOC: HERE'S THAT CHART AGAIN, and if you just want to fill it out without replying—no issue at all! This is just Shepard's own on-network attempt to organize some widely-visible revival efforts to help get people involved! If any major changes or decisions go down, remember to let the mods know over here!]

[ She hesitates, feeling like she's going to name drop and brag. Which is ridiculous, because this woman she's talking to probably did something like saved the Empress of Reticulon iV thus preventing an intergalactic civil war or something. Everybody she's talked to here has done way more amazing things than her or could fly or both. ]

Yeah, actually lol. That's kind of what I do. I'm a roadie for the Staton-House band. Rigger, specifically. Mostly used to 15k-20k arenas which... we don't really have that many people but I could still set up some amps and smoke machines and shit if we needed it for whatever.

Yeah, lol. If it comes up sure. And not exactly? The production manager had me shadow her for a while but she wasn't going to have me actually take point on anything until we got to Europe.

[ It isn't until she types it out that she realizes Shelli was mentoring her. Shit. ]

[ "Um, no," is the answer she wants to give. But talking about Shelli has reminded her of how Shelli used to lecture her about how she needed to "embrace opportunity." She takes a breath and is glad this is in text so she can fake a confidence she certainly doesn't feel. ]

Yeah, sure. If you need me to, I guess.

[ That's a weird question. ] Yeah, actually? Big Phil was all about that shit. Bc of that The Who concert in Cincinatti in '79. He always drilled us on fire exits and shit like that. We had to memorize the fire procedures of the venues we were going to on the bus ride there.

[ Probably wouldn't like everything but no point in getting into that.

You know what your problem is? You have every opportunity right in front of you and you won't take any of them. ]
Hey, it's always nice to be appreciated, right? Should I sign up on the chart or is this like, a different thing.
