So.

The admiral's getting a little difficult to please these days, ain't he? 'I've made some changes. Go explore them. They may kill you.' Now, me, I love a little urban free-for-all, but apparently not everyone grew up playing survive the streets.

Still, the admiral wants us ready to handle environments like this. I can try to train people who are interested, but I'm an animal kind of guy, all instinct, no playbook, and that's hard to teach. I'ma need help. People who can teach, who can get me up to speed, who have specialties. And people who want to learn.


[Private to Rhade]
Maybe we're jumping the gun, but I don't feel like it. People are starting to talk survival packs again, and that doesn't seem like a bad idea. How much of all that dried meat we stashed is left? Enough to start breaking it out into rations for people to keep on them, in case-?

And what we did before without any warning that there was actually impending doom awaiting us wasn't jumping the gun? I think we should, along with bottles of water. If those environments are any indicator of things to come, fresh water might be in short supply.

We got vegetarians. You know anything not animal protein that stores up for a long period?

[Apparently one of Riddick's stress reactions is now 'feed the barge. The whole barge. All of it. Food.']

Beans. Dried refried beans can last until they add water to them.

We should be capable of improvising some MREs. Dried fruit, meat or protein alternative, dried vegetables, a canteen of water.

I know how to hunt. How to snare. To throw knives, and to use a bow if I have to.

I don't think the plants will be anything like my world, though.

Guess I could give a hand. I'm not a nice teacher, though.

Pssh, nothing kills me.

You should do a class in not dying.

But I usually end up running into or at everything...didn't I tell you about the videos?

Maybe we'll get someone who doesn't get taught nice.

I can ask Mega about canteens. Something durable to keep water in ain't a joke.

[with_my_teacup]

If the CES is any indication, we ain't gonna want to eat much we find there. You seen the changes-?

[Kelsier has been pinged.]

I can teach. It wouldn't be the first time.

[godsays]

No, I haven't. What are they?

[with_my_teacup]

Grey skies, dying plants, pretty lifeless.. sort of poisoned, really.

Hey, I'm not writing your lesson plan for you.

[with_my_teacup]

Can you teach me how to teach?

[godsays]

[ A beat, as he considers. ]

Sounds like home.

[ Honestly: it does. ]

Ash in the sky?

[with_my_teacup]

Yeah, actually.

...so apparently you may be our head teacher now. You wardened up? Or have a warden friend who can let you in?

[godsays]

Charles Xavier is my warden.

[with_my_teacup]

Have him take you in, see if you recognize the environment. Let him go first so it doesn't default to your world-- see if what you know still holds up on Earth or wherever. We could use an expert.

Lame.

[Smirks to show she means the opposite.]

Re: video;

[with_my_teacup]

All I hear is 'sign me up to teach surviving stupid 101'.

[godsays]

Kelsier is from the same world. He's a warden.

[with_my_teacup]

You saying you're not interested?

[godsays]

No, I want to help.

Are people's powers taken away in both places?
