[when the feed turns on, a young woman appears on screen. she looks a little tired, but that's expected after what had just happened. she is sure to straighten out the netbook before speaking.]

I'd like to start an army, or something like it. I know we barely know each other, and I'm sure some of you prefer to work alone, but I feel like we could work together on this.

[she pauses, thinking for a moment.]

If this works, we can come of with something more planned and our efforts won't be as scattered.

[a brief smile,]

Anyone interested?

I do. I was thinking it would be easier to have separate groups of people with their own leader, depending on their skills. That way, it would be easier to collaborate.

Would these leaders have a captain?

[paracosmic]

Yes. Maybe even a lieutenant or two.

[ he winces a bit ]

Damn. I was thinking this was a good idea and that I'd like to help, but... the only person I take orders from is my captain.

We can talk over a few things -- maybe we can make an exception?

[she needs all the help she can get.]

No... [ he shakes his head ] You start making exceptions for one guy and the next thing you know everyone's going to be wanting exceptions for the stupidest things.

... Tell you what, I'll do what I can to help so if something like the bombs ever happens again it's not as chaotic. We'll cross the taking orders bridge when we come to it.

[babydoll shrugs.]

Fine with me. I'm glad you've decided to help.

Considering how terrible things have been, helping out with a little organization is the least I can do. [ he smiles and gives her a shrug in return. ] Besides, I've got a little brother to look after. If something like this can make it so I don't worry about him so much when things go to hell again, I'm all for it.

[she smiles, but there's a tinge of sadness behind it.]

Then, do your best to protect him.

I plan to.
