Meet N' Greet
||All crew-mates. Please report to the Obs Deck to meet your new crew-mates.||
It's time for all the newbies to get a chance to have a formal meeting with the crew. Given the confusion of their arrival, that's probably a good thing.
Word gets out among the crew mates, spreading in a game of whisper down the meat-alley, that an informal crew meeting is what's happening, free from Stacy's prying ears, and sure enough, as soon as everyone's in the room, they're gestured to move in close, and a wall of blue energy goes up around them all.

Sawyer glanced around the gathering for a moment then turned his attention directly on Cybil. "Who the hell put you in charge?"

"The ship did. Everyone else went with it, because none of 'em wanted the job."

A damn Yank, by the sound of his Bronx accent.

"Ya callin' me slow, Metro-Man? 'Cause if ya want quick I'll be more than happy to show ya fast I can kick your ass up and down this muscle-bucket and out the first airlock I can find."

Cybil holds up her hand for a subject change.
"I don't know why Stacy assigned it--it was as much a surprise to me as everyone else and it might have even be random. I could have passed it off to someone else, but I didn't. People followed. They're still following. I'm not against someone stepping up as leader and if anyone else wants to volunteer, they're welcome to, but the questions those people have to ask themselves are 'Do I want to be responsible for the lives of every single living soul on board this ship, including the millions in podsleep?' 'Can I keep everybody alive so long as they listen to me?' and 'Would anyone actually listen to me?'"
She tilts her head. "So far, I'm three for three, cowboy. The only person we've lost was the poor bastard that ran off alone when I'd told him not to, before we knew the ship was secure--and I still kick myself for that every day, anyway--but if you think you have what it takes, feel free to volunteer and see how it goes down. You at least have the chutzpah."

"Hell, when I woke up, you all were apparently shootin' at each other." He smirked, rather condescendingly, at Cybil. "Yeah, that sounds like ya been doin' a bang-up job, Tinker Bell."

He goes on. "Furthermore, Aximili didn't know the ship had Yeerks on board until he witnessed my infestation. Before then, he was being cautious and trying to determine what crew members he could be sure were free of infestation to warn, and then if it seemed there were no Yeerks aboard, he planned to reveal himself. I was one of the first and we immediately went into action to determine if such a threat was on board or if he was being paranoid--with such paranoia being the more likely option."
He goes on, "Cybil herself, like a large portion of the crew, was infested long before the conflict even started--though after the first conflict, apparently--and still managed to convey leadership skills and decisions to her parasite, which was one of the Resistance and thus would do everything she wanted to assist the crew BUT tell the crew she was infested. Now, if you want to blame her for her infestation, feel free to, However, I think you'll find that those that were infested do not appreciate the assumption that they're ignorant or incompetent because of what was done to them."
He takes a deep breath and puffs out his chest, not with pride, but to help him deal with the overwhelming burden of responsibility.
"However, if anyone is to blame for what happened to Sam, it is myself. I had developed a means of determining if there was a kandrona generator on board, and I--I detected that there might be one, and went to investigate without alerting anyone else in the crew--even Ax--that I was going. I thought because I had dealt with such situations before, as a Legionnaire, that I would be able to handle the situation. I was wrong."
Another deep breath. "I could have warned the crew, and developed the method I did to scan for Yeerks to make sure who I was warning could be trusted. I am fully responsible for the escalation of this conflict and the injuries it caused, and if any blame is to be cast, it should be on me."

"Don't you have a bottle of alcohol you should be obliterating your only two brain cells with?"
He doesn't like you already, Sawyer.

"If I'm on a strange-@$$ alien ship with a rag-tag bunch of people and don't know why I'm there or what's waitin' for me on board, I, one, pick one spot, somethin' that's big, somethin' that's comfortable, somethin' that I can defend and make a base out of it.
"Two, I get it ready. I gather up as much food, as much water, as much medical supplies, and as many weapons as I can find and I ship it all there.
"And, three, once all that $h!t is in place, I start sendin' out teams to start mappin' this damn place out and tryin' to figure out what the hell is what. Meanwhile, people back at the base start gettin' some training on how to fight from those that know and learn how to defend the damn thing if for some reason we should, ya know, get attacked. Ya know, kinda like what apparently just happened to you guys, TWICE.
"But, either way, ain't no way I got a bunch people runnin' around this place like it's goddamn Disneyland, lettin' loose any other godforsaken thing that might be hidin' on this damn thing just waitin' for use to be stupid enough to let it go."
Sawyer paused, glaring at Brainy. He doesn't like you either.
"But, yeah, you're right, your way is workin' so much better. Ain't it?"

"If I get through this meeting and the group hasn't voted someone else in charge, I want you on as an advisor. When we get to talking about defense, pay attention, and contribute anything else you think up once you hear what we've dealt with so far."

Good thing for Cybil--and everyone else--that seems to catch the arrogant prick off-guard and shut him up.
