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!]]

Did it still count with a robot? Oh well.
"I'm relieved to see someone taking charge, I was starting to worry that the lack of motivation among the others was going to be harder to overcome. But the possibility of seeing the surface seems to have them rather excited."

And that's enough for him, even if royalty rubs wrong against the American ideals of wealth alone deciding who is important.
"But military experience, eh? That's refreshing."
no subject
"Yes sir. In my country military service is an honor and even members of the royal family are expected to serve. Which is why I'm relieved to see someone in a similar mindset is taking control and trying to salvage this situation."
Perfect posture, maintain eye contact...as best she can anyway. She may not feel like the perfect Princess she always strived to be but she can play this role for now at least.
"Are the Reds going to be a concern for us on the surface do you think?"
no subject
It was the Vault vs the world, and he was going to make sure the vault won.
no subject
Considering the size of the roaches in this vault giant maggots might be a legit concern.
"As I understand it, rebuilding civilization is our task. Are there plans and instructions on how we're going to do that once we've returned from our scouting?"
no subject
They are so very, very on their own.
"You may come from some backwards monarchy, but you know what people need. Food, water, safety, strong leadership."
no subject
"Yes, of course. My backwards home country understood those important issues well. I suppose I was just thinking with all this technology, and all the information and training you have in your...computer? That perhaps they had a plan but if we are to find our own way that shouldn't be too difficult."
And the freedom to be creative in their policies might work in her favor.
"But what sort of country was America? What did all that hard work and determination bring to creation?"
no subject
He gives a longing sigh, apparently lost in the wonder of those good old days.
"It was the envy of the world. Which is where the damn Reds came in. Easier for them to try and rip down the greatness of others than pull themselves up by their bootstraps."
no subject
"No wonder you miss it so much. And to have it cruelly taken away from you out of jealousy. But no one makes it into a position of greatness with out earning some enemies along the way. It's respectable in a sense."
"I expect the scientists and others that were here before us must have been proud to be selected to serve their country knowing that."
no subject
no subject
"Before I return to my duties though, I have to ask. In your current position are you capable of promoting those who have earned rank and respect?"
Becuase if any one of them could eventually outrank him, that would make things much easier in the long run.
no subject
He'll just let that hang there.
no subject
And she dearly hoped that the computer system was as confident and trusting in titles as he was.
"Well sir I shall take my leave, thank you for being so forthcoming with information. It puts my mind at ease that we are in good hands. Metallic or otherwise."
