I know a lot of people are still recovering from what happened to them, but we have a responsibility to help the ones who are still sick. The news reports say that they've been taken into medical care. I think we need to do what we can to help them. I'm not sure how.

If I was at home, one of my teammates would have an answer.

[Well, Pidge. Pidge would have an answer.]

She'd find a way to harness whatever this freaky blue stuff is inside of us so that we could help someone else. Make a vaccination. Something. Do you guys think we can pull that off? Or do you guys have any ideas for how we can help? We can work together and get those people cured. Some of you weren't yourself the last few days. I wasn't, either. Imagine being stuck that way.

There's one other thing.

A lot of people want to get home. A lot of us need to get home. We left something important behind. But if we're a part of what's happening here, there's a chance we'll be leaving this world in worse shape than we found it. We need to do what we can to help.

I guess I should also apologize. That wasn't me. But the people I talked to didn't know that. I'm sorry.

So. Let me know what you guys think. And how we can help.

[Oh, he's considered that path.

It's what he'd have done in this situation at one point in his life.]

Don't even think of compromising our mission just because you won't take orders from me.

[batricide]

One, it was my idea.

Two, you're probably going to fuck it up.

Three, I have my own and far more competent team.

[secondnature]

This isn't about whose idea it is, but I made the post, and I accepted your input. Like a good leader.

[batricide]

You're not a leader. You're a bumbling idiot who has no idea what he's doing trying to call the shots.

[secondnature]

[Ugghhhhh this is stupid, and it's not like he can wave around the "Black Lion pilot" flag here.

He's not cocky enough to do that, but he kind of wishes he could anyway.]

A leader does what needs to be done.

And what needs to be done is that we need to help people, and not argue about who gets to do it.

If we have multiple task forces, you can have one for yourself. But to get moving, we need to know where people are. If you can do it, then that's your job.

[ Part of him recognizes that he's just unhappy about this shift in power. He's gone from second in command to the High Counciler of Earth, to prisoner, to Inner Circle of his grandfather's army, to kidnap victim watching people scramble to build a support structure from the ground up. He misses Clark's self-assured leadership, he misses having all the tools he could ever want at his disposal.

But really, he just misses home. ]

I'm choosing to co-operate with you. That doesn't make you a leader, let alone my leader.

omfg hafid stop being an asshole just because someone is taking initiative and you're genetically incapable of working with most people.

and keith, maybe don't needle him publically?

[batricide]

I work with people FINE.

[ Just not under them. ]

[crisised]

pull the other one it's got bells on it

[batricide]

He has no idea what he's doing. Initiative doesn't mean shit if you're approaching things half-assed and relying on good intentions to get you out of the consequences.

[secondnature]

Unlike you, I don't throw around my qualifications just to act like I'm better than everyone.

[batricide]

I list my qualifications so people know I know what the hell I'm talking about, you absolute git.

[crisised]

cythonna's TEETH i will put you both in a corner if you don't shut up and stop bickering for one minute

what part of "you're in public and making yourselves look bad" did not get through?

[batricide]

I'd like to see you try.

[ The rest is a valid point but you know, priorities. ]

[secondnature]

If you try to fight her, you'll have to go through both of us.

[What???]

[crisised]

okay one. i can kick his ass myself
two, that is not actually going to solve anything
and three, i need you both to pull your heads out of your asses and be quiet for a minute

[batricide]

Oh get over yourself. She's practically family.

@matches.malone

[reneger]

hey

[batricide]

Don't you start too.

[secondnature]

His first thing upon getting here was saying that he's better than everyone. Maybe we're better off not having him on a mission to save people's lives.

@matches.malone

[reneger]

maybe you should fuck off before you lose an eye

[secondnature]

If he's going to think everyone can't pull this off, then we should deal with that first.

[crisised]

i'm not saying his attitude doesn't need some adjustment if he's going to work with people. i'm saying that having it out on a public forum probably isn't the best idea

nor is giving him a task force to shut him up tbh.

[secondnature]

IT WAS A COMPROMISE

[secondnature]

[He didn't "accidentally" send that, but his temper ... happened ...]

Okay.

Sorry.
