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
After a moment of just standing at the desk and
staring into Leon's soulsizing up Leon, he finally spoke. "Am I welcome to join the Security team again?"Re: In Private
"Why would I welcome you back on?"
Ye best have a damn good answer Ronon.
Re: In Private
"Because things are different now. What happened was before we learnt the truth about this ship and the Ohm. I might have betrayed your trust, but I've never stopped looking out for the crew as a whole. I want for all of us to get our homes back and we have to start working together properly to make that happen. And with the sort of threat the Ohm are, you're going to need all you can get."
Having to prove his worth wasn't anything new for Ronon and he wondered if he was convincing enough.
Re: In Private
"Yes, and in the name of the crew you lied to and betrayed me, and several others, and the end result was a mess that got people hurt. What's to stop you from going off and doing what you think is best all over again? Your word? because that isn't worth much around here."
Re: In Private
"I don't expect you to believe what I say. But I'll be damned if anyone else on this ship loses their life. I can't sit by and do nothing when everyone's doing something to help."
He pauses for a moment to consider his next words. "..When I first came out of the pods, I did not expect the crew and command to be this capable. After fighting alongside the others against those zombies in the Vatican, I could see why we were all chosen. The command team has gained my respect."
Ronon is honest with his words and his tone and body language suggests that he doesn't normally speak like this with anyone unless he means it. Now that he's admitted his first impressions of the command team, he's watching Leon with a wary eye.
Re: In Private
After some moments, he shifted slightly, then began to speak.
"While we've basically let you all off the hook, for the simple fact that there are more important things to deal with, that doesn't mean all is forgiven." He wanted to be clear on that point. "All of you dug yourselves quite a hole. Not just with the Command Staff, but most of the crew as a whole. And you really dug yourself in deep with the people in this department." Leon wasn't the only one pissed about his betrayal, after all.
"But, as I said, we do have more important things to deal with. So, I am willing to let you back on, but on a provisional basis. There'll be someone assigned to supervise you until further notice." At least until such time as Leon sure you won't try to stab him in the back again.
Re: In Private
"Alright. Let me know what has to be done." He understood his place and was glad to be let back in, even if it was for now.
He had gotten what he came for and figured Leon was busy, so he made his way out of the office.
