Department Meeting [Mainly for Security, but OPEN to everyone]
Leon had called for a full staff meeting for the Security team, though it was also open to whoever else wanted to attend. He had gone easy on his group since the Bridge mission, mostly giving them time to rest, recover, and deal with the things they've all been told. But now it was time to start moving forward again.
The meeting was being held in the Precinct, in one of the larger conference rooms. He gave time for people to file in and sit down where they would. Once everyone was settled, he addressed the group.
"First of all, thank you all for coming. For those of you who don't know me, I'm Special Agent Leon S. Kennedy, from the United States Strategic Command, and current Chief of Security here about Transmigration 9.
"A couple of weeks ago, we all learned some startling information. That our worlds were gone, destroyed by the Ohm, and we're all that remains. That we've been chosen to travel across the multiverse to fight the Ohm, save what remains, and possibly restore what was lost.
"All of that may or may not be true, and we have people working to verify that one way or another. The only thing we know for sure is that, unfortunately, we're all stuck here for a while.
"Because of that, there'll be a few changes around here, most of which you'll hear straight from the Captain and the Commanding Officers in the coming days. As for this department in specific...
"Security was formed with the intent to be the first line of defense for this crew; to protect them from any threats on this ship, and sometimes to protect them from each other. That hasn't changed, and never will. How we operate is going to change, however.
"For the most part, we've taken a defensive posture, waiting for something to go wrong before we deal with it. But a Fix on Fail strategy isn't going to work anymore. Now, before you get started, no, we are not going to start hunting down and locking up crew members who may be a problem someday maybe." He wanted to be clear on that point, particularly with a crew as prone to kneejerk reactions as this one. "But, acid spitting roaches, one of which was crossbred with an Ohm; a variety of class 4 viral and biological weapons, all gathered in a failed experiment to create a biological weapon to annihilate the Ohm; the Nightmare King trapped in Escherville; HAL 9000; the Yeerks... these are all threats that originated on board. Things that were left behind when the previous crew abandoned ship.
"We need to find out what else they left behind; what other experiments they had going that have been left unattended for God knows how long. To that end, we need to root through every section of this ship, search it from stem to stern to locate and deal with these problems. We'll also be working with Engineering and Neuropathy to locate threats and malicious programs in the computer systems.
"In addition, we're also going to be expanding our duties to become a full blown Emergency Services Unit. We have to be able to deal with everything from heated arguments and hazmat spills to heart attacks and hull breaches. Some people here would be better suited for certain tasks than others, but everyone will crosstrained in a number of disciplines. I don't want to be caught short handed because we only had a few people trained to handle, say, hazmat spills, happened to be on an away mission, or were busy running through a maze, looking for cake.
"As for dealing with the crew themselves, Stacy has generally handled that, but we do have a bit more leeway now. We can interfere physically in conflicts between crew members without worrying about violations, provided you're not using excessive force. If you feel the behavior of a crew member has warranted something more than just a violation, you can haul them down to the brig where they can sit and cool off for a day or two, and any other additional penalties will be handed down by senior command, if necessary." Because that whole trial thing worked out ever so well last time.
"We have a lot of work to do, people. None of us want to be stuck here, but so long as we are, we need to make sure everyone stays as safe as possible."

Re: In Private
”Don’t’ worry about it,” Aeneas’s eyes squinted, ”Probably just some human formality. I mean seriously, this guy’s middle name is only one letter. Just go along with it.”
Okay, fine, subconscious. But only because it’s you.
“I…”
The alien realized that half of his body was still outside, so he awkwardly pulled his tail through and closed the door behind him.
“…If I remember correctly, you were looking for programmers?”
There was an unnecessarily long pause, as if Aeneas really wasn’t sure if he remembered correctly and needed Leon S. Kennedy’s assurance before he could continue (this was really what he was thinking by the way).
Re: In Private
"Yes, I am looking for programmers. Which may seem odd, but I'm sure you noticed the mess that just happened courtesy of GLaDOS."
Re: In Private
The couch was appreciated, though. Aeneas gave Leon S. Kennedy a nod of thanks and curled up on the fleshy surface, noting that it was disturbingly comfortable for a piece of furniture made out of a spaceship’s entrails.
Eh. He was sure he’d been through weirder situations.
“Indeed I did,” purred the alien as soon as he got cozy. He didn’t get caught himself, but he had to free two other females on his way through the plant-speckled minefield. What he didn’t know was the AI’s name. ‘GLaDoS’, huh?...
“Well…I believe that I, at one point, was a fairly decent programmer. Unfortunately I, uhm…”
Aeneas’s muzzle turned rosy pink.
“…Seem to have forgotten most of my abilities. But perhaps if I were offered some refresher courses I would remember and become of use to you?”
Re: In Private
"Well, you can talk to Allen Gentry, he heads up most of the educational programs. He can set you up with a brief refresher course. In addition, if you're interested, we do have several telepaths on board. I'm not sure how effective they'd be for you, but they might be able to help you jog your memory."
Re: In Private
Allen Gentry, if he was really that much into education, should be at the Chemistry Safety Class. Or, at least Aeneas assumed he would be. He would talk to him there if he saw him, if only to be efficient.
Now…telepaths? This guy had to be joking. There was no such thing as a telepath. As he’d said before: “The mind is a wonderful thing…but it’s not that wonderful.”
And until he saw it for certain, Aeneas would stick to that philosophy. Thus, more out of curiosity than anything, originated his resulting inquiry:
“Anyone specific?”
Re: In Private
"Dr. Grey," he responded. She was likely a better candidate than Satori. "She's also the Chief Medical officer, so you can find her down in the Med Bay most of the time. She's very highly skilled." And opinionated as all hell, but that wasn't relevant to the conversation.
Re: In Private
“…Jean Grey?” Aeneas’s eyes brightened as a mixture of familiarity and excitement flared through them, “I—I think I met her during orientation. After I woke up I mean.”
Hadn’t seen her since, though. Seemed like a nice girl. He would definitely have to contact her somehow. But still—oh, lucky Coincidence. Stacy clearly loves you very much.
Re: In Private
"Yes, that's her. And I'm sure she'd be happy to help."
Re: In Private
“Thank you very much, Special Agent Leon S. Kennedy,” trilled the alien cheerfully, rolling out of the meatcouch and heading for the door, “I will be sure to contact you as soon as my programming skills are of use, but do not hesitate to get in touch with me if I am needed beforehand!”
Yes, he shouldn’t be that hard to find.
