OVER THE VAULT PA SYSTEM: YOUR OVERSEER
[[OOC: This broadcast goes out over the Vault’s old speaker system and can be heard in every room in the Vault. Those that chose to tune to the radio station advertised will hear this announcement on loop for the next week at a better sound quality than offered through the damaged speaker system.]]
[The voice that comes over the speaker system is familiar to some of you. For the rest, it is a crisp, solidly non-descript American accent that carries the weight of someone used to unquestioning obedience to his orders.]
Attention Vault 66, this is your Overseer speaking. You may refer to me as Captain Simmons or Overseer. All dwellers are instructed to tune their pip-boys to the Overseer Announcement frequency at least once per day to receive my announcements.
After analyzing reports from the long-term staff, I have authorized three exploratory groups to spend no more than one week each on the surface for reconnaissance. Priorities are: threat assessment of radiation level and local wildlife; gathering of food samples for analysis; and detection of sentient life. Contact with any potential sentients is not approved at this time.
Three team leads have been selected: Zhao Yunlan, Takagi Saya, and, based on personal recommendation, Chocolat Misu.
[There is a small pause and anyone listening closely can hear him mutter ‘Nicholas, if that name was a joke…’ Then he clears his ‘throat.’]
Leads may select a small team of one to three to accompany them. For Vault security, no less than two dwellers may be in the Vault at any one time. Robotic staff will not be included in these missions. Appropriate arms will be checked out upon mission start and returned upon completion.
Questions or concerns may be directed to the Overseer in person. Responses are not guaranteed.
This is your Overseer, over and out.
[[OOC Notes: Scouting missions will begin on July 2, with the opening log including the opening of the Vault door for the first time since the war.
Please address OOC questions here!
Simmons cannot reply over the pip-boy network. To meet with him, reply with a starter thread here.
As a note, during these scouting missions events will occur in the Vault once the door has opened, so even if a character doesn’t go scouting this round there will be action to be had and info to gain!]]

The bones in the corner of the office are gone now, the rug straightened back out as if nothing had been there. The empty bottles of alcohol are gone, as well. All in all, the place looks more ship shape than the last time she was in the office.

"Yes, sir, that and other things if I'm to be honest." she started as she stood in front of the desk in a militant pose. If she'd learned anything about his types, it was that respect and chain of command were of utmost important... It certainly always was when it came to her father and his wards.
"Again, I do apreciate the chance to learn more of the outside world and what state it is in. Additionally, finding more resources to reinforce the Vault and improve our chances of survival and defensive capabilities against whatever might await us out there." she paused, looking to see if he made any noticeable motions before continuing.
"In order to plan appropriately, I was wondering if I may review the terminal in this office. I was hoping it would shed some insight into what we may be encountering out there. The people who ran this place, the ones you mentioned 'Vault-Tec' and your military group? They seemed really prepared so I feel they might have had proper predictions and plans set in place for once the Vault opened up. I wish to study them, if possible, so I may increase our teams success and survival rate."

He pauses for a moment, his optics closing then opening one by one as he considers.
"Save...hm. Well, you make a compelling case. There is a small mystery that needs to be investigated. A radio tower was requested for construction some time ago, and there is reason to think it may have been completed. I'd like a report back on if that happened. Again," he voice turned sharp, "no contact with any sentients is approved. I don't want to be fighting battles before we're ready for them. I'll upload the location on your pip-boy. Just look and report back."
no subject
"Sir, thank you for that relevant information. I'll make sure to report what we find now that I have a good idea of where to start thanks to your intel." There was so much at hand here and from what she could gather, Simmons was none the wiser about the terminals information... Though something tells her that he was never in on it other than to enforce rules and safety. It seems Vault-Tec were the ones with their hands in the dirty... But she's still not taking chances.

And only a few hundred odd years behind schedule. Not terrible for a primarily civilian operation, to his thinking.

Saya paused and looked around curiously, "I assume we'll be properly geared and supplied for this mission? Within our means of course. I understand we're not brimming with supplies as it stands, but I'd like to have as close to 100% success chance as I can muster."
no subject
He drops that little bomb like it's no big deal. Because of course it will be, Vault-Tec made it.

no subject
His faith in Vault-Tec is apparently unshakable, despite the vault around them.
no subject
"Thank you sir. If that is all, I will begin preparations."
