[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!]

But, uh, I don’t suppose you’d know if anyone’s planning on using that theater? It’s quite exceptional—and unexpected—for a place like this. Might be nice to put on something with it. Like a play or a musical. Just something. Y’know. [Actually he has no idea if she knows what he means, but. He’s just going to leave it at that.]
And I dunno if it counts as helping out, but I do bug Tony a lot... Uh. Stark. Iron...suit...guy. [He has to catch himself from admitting to too much knowledge about Tony. He’s not supposed to know who the hell he is.] In his mess of a workshop. He’s probably way more useful to list though. He likes having his name on things, so you can probably put him down for engineering.
[He’s helping and definitely not trolling Tony. Not even slightly.]
no subject
Why, James—are you volunteering to start a company theater group? Share a little Gilbert and Sullivan with the rest of the universes?
[Iron suit guy. There's another bark of a chuckle, a single note.] Tony does like having his name on things. I'll get him in on all of this yet. Hell, if you want to put his name down, I wouldn't complain.
[Eat it, Stark]
no subject
At the mention of Gilbert and Sullivan his heart leaps into his throat, and finds himself grateful she can't see him.] Hey, no, that’s— I’m not— Geezus— I don’t know the first thing about running a troupe. I just think stages are pretty sad when they go unused is all.
[He’s not being defensive at all.
But more importantly, let’s just talk about annoying Tony.] And y’know what? Yeah, I’ll do it.
[And he adds Tony to the list, not as “Tony Stark” but as “Tony Stank”.]
Done deal.
[Now to wait.]
no subject
[Or previews of worse. 14 hours of Elcor Hamlet was too many, even for a joke. What if someone had asked her for a review?]
Perfect. And I see you've put yourself down in the greenery—can't interest you in a little general housekeeping, can I?
no subject
[A pause as he tries to remember what that one kind is called. And then a soft clap as he snaps his fingers.] Dad jokes. They call them dad jokes now. Er. Well, where I came from. When I came from.
But. Back on track, I'm all for helping. I guess it’s really down to what kinda housekeeping you’re hoping for though. I’m not a scientist or a scholar or anything. Just a soldier.
no subject
You should be okay with the one arm thing here, at least. I know at least two people who have recently lost and replaced their arms—if anything, you could probably start a club. Disarm the rest of the station with your good looks and charm.
[He did say he liked dad jokes.]
I'm right with you there, James—and there's more than a few others in the same boat. Whatever helps fill up the time, and takes your mind off the sudden space retirement, I'm happy to have you on board in whatever capacity you choose.
audio; sup guys what's goin on in this thread
It's so rude to sing someone's praises without letting them know.

How goes engineering, Tony Stank?

no subject
Any major engineering shifts any of us should know about?
