[ pretend this is split up in the appropriate character count segments. also, we'll both have this thread tracked, so feel free to respond to cissnei, or to jack, or to both o7 unless specified, we'll assume any responses are visible to both of them. ]
Welcome to Knife - first and foremost, all jokes regarding the callsign 'shortcakes' will be met with Cissnei's foot up someone's ass. We've been designated as internal/close control. Dagger hasn't given any other more implicit definition of that, but one might assume we'll be doing a lot of watching of our crewmates.
Which shouldn't be anything new to you if you've been on Red for a month or so already.
I'm Jack Benjamin, not Jonathan, not Johnny, not Jon, or another other horrid shortening of the name you might come up with other than 'Jack'. Our other unit lead is Cissnei. We're here to pass along orders from Dagger and assist in guiding this unit in carrying out said orders, as well as our individual members in progressing in and managing their time in the Neheda crew.
We are also now responsibile for you, so, should you find yourself up shit creek without a paddle, please remember that you are not only part of a team, but part of a unit. Don't be a dumbass. Call for help.
Should you have any concerns, comments, colorful anecdotes, now would be the time to voice them.
Not much to add that Jack hasn't already covered quite capably and that includes the part about jokes regarding the callsign. So consider this my agreement to all he's said already. It'll be an adjustment while we figure out the fine details of what our new unit means but Jack and I will keep you informed as much as possible once we know more.
Not that it'll be much more. Dagger's good at vague. But internal affairs speaks well enough for itself, I'd say.
And with all that said, the last thing I do want to add is this: we've had a brutal last few days. Consider this advisement from at least one of your unit leads to make sure you rest up, eat properly and maintain your weapons while you have the chance.
And if you are finding things hard going and need an ear, I'll be around. As Jack said, don't force yourself to do things alone. It doesn't help anyone.
