text; not-really-video; — backdated to 2/12 (just as the away team is getting started)

[The ACE activates to show a brief video: the murky air of a contaminated hallway, occupied by a dark-armored shape with glowing red points of light. Those who know Rinzler will find the helmet-tilt plenty familiar. Those who aren't might wonder at the purpose: of the broadcast, or of the rattling whir of noise that fills the background of the feed. Both stare and sound will persist for several seconds before the video promptly shuts off.

Introductions clearly and obviously complete, Rinzler reverts to texting.]

Request data on available security personnel for groups: "away team", "home team".

Non-security combat functions also accepted.

[Just... skeptically.]

Effective distribution.

[Far too few of Rinzler's combat-skilled associates are remaining to guard the system.]

Capable of surviving environmentals?

[shiro2hero]

Nice to know someone thinks so. Team wasn't too thrilled over the split.

We are. We've worked in space before -- zero-G and no atmosphere.

[notglitching]

Good.

[To the... space training.]

Willing to provide personnel list in each group?

[shiro2hero]

King Alfor and myself are on away.

Pidge, Hunk, Allura and Darin are staying behind.
