Sounds good. None of us should be out alone anyway. The last two bodies weren't.

All the newbies should. I was calling their 'drop' easy when they showed up just walking about a door, but maybe not. Worse than the Shai attack and freaking worm hole, you think?
[As much of a loner as Shinobu could be, sometimes, the one comfort she had in her previous life as an assassin was that she would at least die in a blaze of glory in a fight with a worthy opponent, at some point.]

Right? I mean I got the sharks instead of the vomit monsters, but things were looking pretty boring for the newbies until now.

Don't be patronizing, it's tacky.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
I saw it too. It was in a supply crate that the crew loaded up, so one of the officers has to know something about it. Maybe Neheda.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
I'll keep you updated.
no subject
I'd hope so. It makes you wonder which of the officers you've gotta hit in the bingo to get some kind of information.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
Cool, thanks.
no subject
If enough of us bug them, I'm sure someone will get the right one eventually.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
In the mean time, happy hunting.
no subject
Do you want me to hit up Neheda, just in case, or are you jonesing for a chat with her?
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
You know me. This should prove to be interesting, if nothing else.
no subject
I haven't been on her good side lately. You'll have better luck.
no subject
Probably better if I don't ask, huh?
All right, no prob. It's been a while since we've had a good chat anyway.
no subject
Neheda was the one to contact after all. Whatever's out there is camouflaging itself, so don't try to engage it.
If you go anywhere, make sure you take someone with you.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
Stay alert. I don't want anyone from my unit being the next corpse.
no subject
Camoflague. Fantastic. I've got Ringo with me, trying to follow a scent, but it's been everywhere. Whatever it is is fast.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
Any other orders in the mean time?
no subject
Yeah, I know. It sucks having to play the waiting game, but it'd be stupid trying to take it on right now.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
I don't think I need to worry about it from you, but just in case: don't try to be a hero.
If you see anyone trying to be dumb, tell me so I can tell Neheda to deal with them.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
Though if they're a Killjoy, I'm gonna have a few choice words with them anyway.
no subject
I'm not the hero type. But one of our new reds is. Peter Parker.
I don't think Neheda needs to be bothered by it, but it's reckless nonetheless. Unit heads would be enough.
[ forwarding her a transcript of this thread. ]
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
I doubt it's really a good idea to send Barnes into the vents either, if he'd even fit. Deadpool would be a good option, though.
And either way, with someone nearby as spotter or reinforcement. Likely after we've gotten more information, or found a way to mark it.
no subject
Ugh, just when I was starting to think all of Red was getting smarter, as a unit.
I'll try to talk to him. But god, I hope he gets put on a different unit.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
I like Barnes, but I'd have to agree. He's better in a space where he wouldn't be as restricted. It'd be interesting to put Deadpool in there, though.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
All we can do, for now, is keep an eye on the situation. Just keep being smart about this and we'll get through this.
no subject
He's a delicate hero kid thinking he has to save the world and do it right now. I'd say be gentle, but I doubt that's in your repertoire.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
Deadpool, if only for the fact he won't die from whatever damage he takes. And supposedly he's decent with steath.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
And maybe I also need a good laugh.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
Agreed. Let me know if you have anything else comes up, or we get more orders.
no subject
Ugh, why wasn't he put on Green? I don't understand how our superiors sort recruits sometimes.
Me being gentle means I'm not going out to stab him right now.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
Yeah, the guy's wildly unpredictable, but at least he has a reason to be. I don't get the impression the new kid has as much endurance.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
Once I know more, I'll contact you all, don't you worry.
no subject
Names out of a hat.
Aw, what a saint.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
He's too fresh off the boat. Things aren't that straight forward here.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
Thanks a million, darling.
no subject
Well, at the very least, it doesn't look like he was planning on going alone. And he did make mention of it on the public post.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
So I think I've got that potentially dumb, heroic scenario nipped in the bud.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
Not a problem. Thanks for bringing the potential problem to my attention.
no subject
Right. It's a clever idea, just one that needs to be done right.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
He seems like a good kid. Just not the kind of good that fairs well here.
no subject
If we go with his idea, I'll make sure I send at least a couple of people with him who'll get him out of there if anything goes wrong.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
He's kind of a brat, yeah. But for his sake, he better be adaptable or yeah. He won't last long.
no subject

Yeah. At least they had that much.

True. Too bad the two of them weren't enough to keep them alive.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
I got mist wolves. All in all, seemed like the better option out of the others. Though we didn't have senior recruits swooping in to save us.
no subject
That's kind of weird to think about, isn't it? That we're among the recruits with the highest amount of seniority. At least in our crew.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
But yeah. I've gotta wonder how they'd be handling it now, if they didn't have any seniors to get information off of.
