Orange Team Onward!

[voidtreckermods]

Arrival

Their flight path makes sure they are well out of the way of both the battles taking place and they get to the shield station within an hour as long as they fly quickly.

There are no enemy ships around but it is clear there has been an attack, the shield disk itself is damaged and there seems to be no power in the station.

Once they dock they will be met by some technicians who quickly explain the situation.

Help is needed everywhere. The power needs repaired, the shield needs repaired from the outside, there are injured technicians who need medical care. There is a small med-bay available.

Maintenance

Once the initial crisis is dealt with it is a case of keeping up with things. A patrol is needed to guard the station from other attacks, there are four shield stations in total and so the voidtreckers may chose to split themselves once things are a little calmer.

Keeping up the shields is an almost constant job, especially with the attacks. Once one thing is fixed it seems another thing is down. The maintenance itself is very technical but there are parts that can be done by the unskilled as long as they have direction.

Curufin chuckles. "I'm glad you think us boys have a few good points, amongst all our shortcomings! Oh, and actually, there are six Elves, since my cousin Fingon is here, too." He rolls his eyes at his own miscounting.

"Hmm, I'll have to take another look at those surveys and see what we actually told Tony. But yes, some of the same questions as he asked? And then some that might be team-specific. I did wonder about our team assignments, whether the train deliberately puts Team Orange on tasks that involve less fighting and more technical stuff, or more of whatever it is we have that makes us Team Orange! But certainly I agree with your plan. We could put together a list that includes some of Tony's questions, and whatever questions you and I can think up, and then we ask the rest of the team for their ideas. Then we assemble the questionnaire and post it. Does that about cover it?"

"We get to ten and I'm starting a scorecard of how many elves we have and who's related to who."

It's mostly in jest, really, even if it does seem like they have a lot.

There's a nod. "Yeah, pretty much. We could start on a draft when we get back to the train, and- I also think you should be the one to call the meeting-maybe a few days after new arrivals?"

She would, but she's not the only leader. And maybe part of her is still determined to give the bullhorns to fate, however unwise that is. "We'd also have to compile this and make it public for Orange and I don't think we've got a photocopier yet."

Curufin gets the joke and snorts with laughter. "And who knows? We might get to ten, someday. I do have a lot of relatives, though I haven't seen some of them in literally ages. I'd love it if more of them showed up on the train. Go ahead, start a scorecard even before we get to ten! I approve."

"Yes, I agree. We should start working up a draft of the survey, and then I'll call a meeting sometime after new arrivals day."

He's fine with calling that meeting. "Worst case scenario, we have to write up copies by hand. But you're right, we do need a photocopier. I wonder if the train entity could be persuaded to provide one?"
