[Ava doesn't smile at the camera. For those that don't know her, she's a young woman with bright red hair and slightly unnatural blue eyes. She's wearing a grey shirt and seems to be sitting in a window seat as she looks at the camera, a pencil tapping idly against a pad of paper leaning against her knees.]

As some of you may or may not know, there are formerly dead reactors and power relays in the Abandoned City that are no longer dead, and there is also now a functional SkyTram line that runs from the city gates out to the waterfall.

So, I'll keep this short and sweet: I'm looking for some people that can help further this. We need to connect the reactors to existing facilities, and expand the SkyTram lines so there is easy transportation. Engineering, construction, experience with electricity and energy grids. I'm looking for anyone who's good. I don't care what your training is, just convince me I need you.

I could also use some people willing to work guard duty or man patrols while these projects are in process. The Perimeter Guard are great, but some volunteers would help ensure we're not taxing them as the project expands.

If you need encouragement, one of the facilities I'd like to see made accessible is a natural hot spring.

I am so far beyond qualified for this it's ridiculous, and I'm leading the Wall R&D Unit so it'd be good to get eyes on what's going on out there.

I'll bring my teammate to watch my back.

[krasnaya_vdova]

As I said, I don't care about qualifications.

Convince me you're someone I need. That's the only criteria here.

[technospeak]

[Rodney actually makes a little huff of laughter at that.]

Several years' experience saving the day at the last minute and pulling impossible solutions out of thin air under a time constraint, usually with tech I've never seen before?

If you can get me a sword or tell me where to get one, you've got one guard.

[krasnaya_vdova]

I'm pretty sure I can get you a sword.

[There's a smile there, quietly amused.]

What's your training been like?

[It's curiosity, but she's not disregarding her.]

[fatedcontract]

Perfect.

[As long as he's not being written off.]

Mostly hands on combat training, I spent the last year fighting through a tower filled with shadows. I was also on my school kendo team.

[somakemelaugh]

[Guard duty? That catches his interest.]

I wouldn't mind throwing my lot in for the defense. When and where?

[krasnaya_vdova]

Well, currently the idea is to protect the SkyTram line. I know the Perimeter Guard want to put up an electrical fence, but in the meantime transportation in the Abandoned City is admittedly vulnerable to monster attacks.

This is going to increase as we try to extend work on infrastructure. At the moment times are fairly open. I'd like to get several people interested to trade off shifts.

[somakemelaugh]

You've my interest. I don't know what this SkyTram thing is, but keeping a lookout sounds bound to be more fun than making tea all day.

[scoutsniper]

[Don't diss the Perimeter Guard.

Okay, it deserves some criticism. But not Frank.]

I'm free.

[krasnaya_vdova]

[There was no dissing, really. But seeing him gets a bit of a smile.]

Always nice to know someone's competent for this sort of thing.

You been out there much?

[scoutsniper]

Been out a few times. I don't trust their reports. Need to find out for myself.

[Frank Castle? Paranoid? ]

Since I've already been voluntold, you can count me in.

John Sheppard, perimeter guard. I'll babysit Mckay while he does whatever you need him to do.

[krasnaya_vdova]

Ah, yes. He seems to be quite the individual. Friends from home?

[deploy]

You could say that.

You could also say 'pain in my ass'.

I can help with rebuilding things. My powers allow me to remake almost anything. I'm not...really good with construction though but if I have someone teach me or maybe I could read up on it, then I'd definitely help out!

But I can also help with guard duty as well. And maybe I could be an on hand medic, in case anything bad happens.

text;

[krasnaya_vdova]

All of these sound useful. A lot of the construction efforts are likely to be repairing damage that has been done since the outer city was abandoned, and seeing what we can do with transportation lines.

If you'd like, I could show you the sort of thing I'm working with?

[tempredmental]

I'm on the guard, but I've still got time to help out if you need some people to help out with watching people's backs while they work.

[krasnaya_vdova]

That would definitely be useful. I know the guard was talking about working on getting some fencing up along the SkyTram line, but until that's completed there are vulnerabilities there and since not everyone involved with the expansion are combat-ready I'm going to need a few additional combat-capable bodies there, too.

What's your name?

[bunnyblock]

Don't know what kind of offers you have waiting.

But I could offer a hand.
I'm not interested in showing off some impressive resume to impress you.

But I'll just say that when it comes to building, programming, and engineering machines and software, I don't have a rival back home.

[krasnaya_vdova]

As it happens, I don't find resumes particularly impressive.

What I want are capable people that can get things done. So, if you're interested, maybe I can show you the sort of thing that we're looking at.

[She meant impress me in a practical sense, more than a pretty titles sense.]

[j.snow is a dark-haired, bearded man in his early twenties, wearing distinctly medieval clothing: a brown leather brigandine with a brown gambeson under it is clearly visible. A first, he doesn't seem to be completely settled on a camera angle: the view shifts and trembles as he peers into it. After a few moments of unsteadiness, the picture stabilizes, he seems satisfied, and he speaks. He has a deep voice and a heavy Northern accent.]

I don't know what the rest of this means, but I've been assigned to the Perimeter Guard, and I've managed builders before.

[A pause, and he allows,]

Probably not your sort of builders.

[video]

[krasnaya_vdova]

[She has sharp eyes, that strange blue as she looks him over, even via the video feed. She takes in the style of his clothing, the tone of his voice. There's a faint flicker that's almost a smile]

Well, if you've managed builders before, it's probably similar- protecting people and supplies while we try to restore access to some of the abandoned areas.

What sort of experience did you have before, if you don't mind my asking?

[otherflash]

I might be able to help speed up the process in some areas.

[ Him being the fastest man alive and all that. ]

Or, I could at least help out with patrols and stuff.

text;

[krasnaya_vdova]

Anyone that can help speed things along is definitely of interest. You have any specialty?

Patrols can help too; there’s a fair bit of distance to cover, and I’m still working on getting enough people involved.
