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!]]

[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.]
no subject
[All she saw was his ability to ranch giant cockroaches and be a living food disposal.]
I mean, not that I can't see it. He's a pretty big guy. Hmn, but every time we're together he's constantly looking for a reason to argue. I doubt he'd be able to handle me of all people as his leader.
[The thought even managed to make her chuckle.]
no subject
[He snorts.]
So that tells you how well it'd go!
no subject
[And she didn't care if she said that a little too loud. If Jiro heard her complaining about him again she was more than happy to let him know.]
Then I guess it's settled! Azula and Sandy it is!
no subject
I'll do the same.
no subject
[She felt herself nod subconsciously, even though she knew Yunlan couldn't see it.]
Speaking of, what do you think it'll be like up there?
no subject
And not too much radiation, for that matter.
no subject
I think most of us would be mostly concentrated around where we are, right? Since a lot of what we use is powered on it.
I'd like to think there are some other people out there though. It would suck to think that we're the only survivors in this world.
no subject
[With so few of them awake down here, the idea of trying to hold off any kind of attack if outside towns turn hostile is... tricky.]
And the bombs that're supposed to have fallen outside spread radiation too.
no subject
no subject
[He pulls a face.]
Just be careful!
no subject
[She couldn't help but laugh out in response to Yunlan's concern.]
It's really hard to get a reference on timeframe in this place isn't it? Not because of anything here, but simply because of how we all seem to remember being from different years, none the less different worlds. It's hard to tell how long any of us have been asleep huh?
