[In a rare moment of using video on purpose, there's Jayce. To those who know him, he looks the same as he always does. To those who don't- he's an early 30's man with seemingly a permanent five-o-clock shadow, bright golden eyes, and perfectly coiffed hair. The background is out of focus, but to those who know it, it's clearly a part of S.T.A.R. labs. Normally a little more jovial or at least less serious sounding, Jayce looks into the camera like he's giving a press release.]
Weâve got about forty-eight hours or less until Aurora allows that toxin into Etraya. Which means if you havenât started taking precautions already; start now. Get easily carried food, medical supplies, whatever you think you'd need. Better to be over-prepared than under.
Considering what Aurora's told us about the "mission"... If youâre someone prone to having weapons, do us all a favor and throw them into one of our many, lovely lakes, before you wind up using it on someone else. Or, if youâre going to be touchy about it, let me know, Iâll talk with Harold about how we can get them locked up somewhere for the missionâs duration.
As a reminder to those who donât want to think about it, and maybe new information to those who are new: if you die here, for whatever reason, you lose something. I donât know what, you wonât know what, and you might not even know what it is youâve lost even after youâve lost it. Maybe itâs an eye, maybe itâs the memory of your best friend. Either way, whatever you're afraid of by not having your weapons on you isnât worth what youâll be making someone else lose because of your bad decisions.
If you have any special concerns, worries about any specific denizens in this upcoming mission, now's also the time to voice it.

You've said they aren't at risk - I disagree. Can you explain why you consider an unstable person much stronger and faster than you not to be a risk? You assert and expect others to bow to your judgements without question. You claim you don't want to lay out a step-by-step, which is more evasion. If you wish to discuss tactics, you must be willing to discuss them.
Why would I provide advice when you make it clear you would not listen to it?
If you want others to do the work, then fine. I would expect the best compromise would be to lock up all the projectiles as they could hit innocents if they're shot off randomly, but to allow close arms. Another possibility is the one discussed earlier where those who are a danger remove themselves. We could also attempt to create a system where we segregate people in different regions according to physical ability so that if hostilities do occur, they're likely to happen on even footing and therefore less likely to end in a fatality. If someone is far enough gone to mindlessly attack someone else, they will likely lack the faculties to cross large amounts of territory.
I brought up your sex as it is relevant. It is not a 'reduction' - the atmosphere of a room full of women will shift when an inebriated or otherwise impaired man enters regardless of how outnumbered he is. Most women will not feel safe alone on the streets at night even if nobody is armed. The assumption that someone who is unarmed is not as dangerous is not one that a woman would likely make.
Are you concerned? Because you just waved away my concerns with "No solutionâs going to fit all situations." (Except for yours, of course, and the people who are impacted are just necessary casualties.) It seems your concern might be selective.
Sciel seems to desire for you have a coordinating role. I agree I would rather have her in charge. Her judgement is better than yours.
Because if a plan is executed, it should be executed properly.

You almost got me, you know. You almost got me into some endless, meaningless debate with you before I realized how much of my time you're wasting.
Have fun executing your own plans.
