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!]]

What, don't you agree? C'mon, Chocolat.

Don't tell me you're sensitive that your mid-life years are coming up.
[30 is a pretty big number.]
no subject
[He died at twenty-nine and therefore, even if he's wound up back in his body, he's never going to be thirty.
This is completely reasonable and not even a little self-serving.]
no subject
[Why were old people always so upset about being old? When she's that age she's going to age with grace!]
no subject
18? [Who knows what she thinks legally an adult even means, but that's his best guess, anyway.]
Anyway, I've got bad news, being legally not a kid doesn't mean you aren't still one in your heart.
no subject
[Yep, she was going to be a brat about this.]
All I've gotta say is if I'm old enough to be allowed to get married, get a job, fight for my life, survive on my own, and be able to star in adult movies than I am certainly grown up enough.
[Truthfully her age never stopped her from doing some of those things earlier in her life, but at least now she was legally mature enough to boast about it.]
no subject
I'm not even going there.
Sooooo, anyway! You're a leader now too!
no subject
[Ah. She found a sign of weakness. Now she's going to have some fun. ♥]
That's certainly quite hypocritical of you, don't you think?
no subject
Not that you don't have a figure some people'd pay good money to get-- [he gives her a coolly appreciative glance, head to toes and back up] -- but sister, if you've put it on film please spare this brother of yours the knowledge. I don't want you spoiling any of my precious memories from back when I had the internet.
no subject
[The tone of her voice at this point was one of pure astonishment.]
You know, just because I said I could take part in a blue film doesn't mean I actually have you know!
[Really! Of all things to start insinuating!]
I'll have you know I am saving myself for my beloved, thank you very much! I would never think of doing something like that!
[Not that she wouldn't give the occasional show, but there's a difference between expressing sexuality and actually having sex damnit.]
no subject
Then I don't know why we're talking about who is or is not old enough for putting their intimate assets on commercial display! Because the point here is that twenty-nine is not old. And that's just objective truth.
no subject
[The huff that came after that statement was absolutely audible over the Pip-Boy.]
I'm capable of making adult decisions and I'm capable of handling adult topics, even more than you at times by the looks of it.
no subject
Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying you can't make adult decisions. You live your life the way you want. But how about we make a deal where I don't have to talk sex with you, because you and me, we've each got our special person back home and you are literally still a teenager. Cool? Cool.
no subject
Oh my god fine. Sheesh, are all people so repressed where you come from?
no subject
Is everybody so open where you're from?
[Because? Honestly? Most people who know him would call him shameless.]
no subject
[Literally everyone back where she came from was like this. There were reasons of course, both culturally and due to how things simply were in her home world. But all of that dealt the with nuances and explanations of the differences between their homes it seemed]
It feels silly to not embrace something that makes you feel good.
no subject
[Just, you know. He's never thought of himself as a prude, but he's a little bit too much of a prude for this.]
no subject
[The playfully flirty tone could be heard in her voice as she said this, once again back to her little joys of messing with him.]
I mean, we've been stuck down here together with nothing but each others company for long enough at this point that we might as well be considered such, right?
no subject
So who are you thinking of tapping for your team again?
no subject
[She sighed somewhat as she lowered her head in thought.]
I won't lie when I say I'd consider you if you were an option. After all, you have both the level head as well as the combat experience. Saya's intellect is just as useful as well, even though she doesn't know how to fight on a technical level.
I suppose Azula would be interesting. I haven't seen it first hand but she seems to have experience with the battlefield. And you've said you've got your claim on the newbies which means--
[She sighed.]
I've been planning on getting Sandy some practice in surviving these sort of environments. But it still feels soon to just drag her out there.
[It just meant she would be spending most of her time focused on protecting her.]
no subject
It does feel soon to drag Sandy out there. We don't know what it looks like yet. You sure?
[With Azula and Chocolat, there'd be plenty of protection, and Sandy wasn't stupid. Still.]
no subject
[She hadn't seen Elizabeth and Jill and ages, and truthfully she hadn't known them enough to really approach either of them. And that only left--]
Jiro is just a hinderance no matter how much you look at it. He's able to survive well enough, sure, but he's more likely to cause trouble than he is to aid in anything.
[S I G H]
no subject
He's pretty good in a fight.
[But that not listening thing is a real problem.]
