∞ 94: The basics [written/action]

[written]

Welcome to all the New Feathers of this cycle. I am sure that residents, especially the volunteers working in the Welcome Center, have been helpful as you adjust to your surroundings.

Some may have noticed that there are stations some distance away from the village -- watch stations where New Feathers may find clothing or shelter. Residents may also use them as stopping points as they explore the surrounding forests and plains. They are maintained by a group of volunteers, which has been without a head organizer for a few months now. If anyone is interested in taking on this responsibility, please speak with me, Albert Silverberg.

Recent additions to the enclosure are the expansive farmlands to the northeast of the village. There are numbers of farm animals and growing crops up there that are in need of caretaking. While the village has the grocery store for easy access to food, I am sure some would relish opportunity to work with crops and animals.

If there are any questions about these subjects, they may be asked here. Thank you.

[Around noon, Albert may be found in the clothing store, looking for clothing for warmer weather. Maybe he'll attempt to tan this year. It's been awhile.

Later in the day, he will be in the stables tending to his horse. He will be out there for several hours before retiring for the evening to the house, reading a "Computers for Seniors for Dummies" book. Very funny, Bil.]

[Despite the darker tone, Albert does not stop in his tending to his horse. His own tone does not change.] If we had the luxury of sitting down and asking for all of the information you now have to deduce your theory, I can guarantee that we would have had this conversation at least a year ago. But we don't. The only reason that information has become known to us is because someone asked the right question and someone decided to answer it.

Moreover, we are only seen as effective because we have followed orders thus far. We have participated in four drafts -- barely enough to safely conclude that we can in fact produce the results they wish. I only received the amount of trust necessary to change our drop points during the last draft. I am sure you know that one needs a certain level of power, beyond logic, to argue for a change from orders "handed down from the top."

Fighting non-lethally doesn't mean you can't accomplish the objectives they set us out to complete.

All it takes is planning. And if the Malnosso equip us with whatever we ask. With the people we have and proper coordination our objectives can be accomplished just as well and do our jobs much more effectively at that.

That's what needed to be questioned. We didn't need to wait for results to ask that question to begin with.

If we are given whatever we ask without the previous CEO in control, your idea can be explored. [If.] Perhaps in the future you should share your opinion and concerns with the general public. Especially if it concerns the draft.

[Because as it is, you are asking him to implement your plans.]

[Because as it is, Albert is the only one the village sees with enough authority to make it so.

As Albert begins speaking, Batman turns around and begins walking away. He pauses when the second sentence begins, and he looks over his shoulder for a brief moment.]

...I get the message.

[He had figured this is how it would play out. Part of him had hoped Albert would agree directly, but most of him knew better.]

[And with that there's a click as Batman draws his grapple gun, and the telltale pop of the line launcher sounds throughout the area. The hook makes contact with something nearby, and with that, he takes to the air, and takes his leave.]
