filtered to the crew of the atalanta

[ She may reply in text later but this at least starts off video because an introduction is of limited use if you wouldn't recognize the person making it if you passed them in the hall. Kate is leaned against a railing down at the dock, image carefully framed so she's visible from the shoulders up but off center, the better to show the bulk of a ship behind her. She smiles, polite but warm, a trace of genuine excitement in it she's not bothering to hide. ]

Hello! Some of us have met before but if not, I'm Kate Bishop and behind me you see the warship Atalanta. I'm now its captain and you're getting this message because you are its crew. Welcome.



I thought I'd introduce myself, then if you can each do the same we can all get a head start on getting to know each other and talk about what's next. I'm attaching the crew list in text and am going to stop filming because it's loud as hell down here, I just wanted to give you a glimpse. [ she pauses, and her smile ticks crooked and wider ] Of the ship. I look forward to meeting in person and working together soon.

[ The feed ends and a text comes next, as promised. ]

To those of you who don't know me, I've been with the ZDG for about five years now. I served most recently on the Durga during the post-crash mission, and before that on the Erebus, where I specialized in in-Matrix recon and combat. I've also done some weapons work and a little piloting, and when I'm not on mission I work as a trainer. If you have questions, feel free to ask.

1. just about two months.

2.'there are knights and kings and no technology'

3. two-handed weaponry. greatswords, mauls, so on and so forth. i do have anomalous skills. a set of tattoos, infused with magic. when they are active, they allow me to phase through solid objects, human or otherwise. among other things.

4. i would not call myself a diplomat, but i learn quickly. languages, cultures. i have played the negotiator role in the past.

5. i'm comfortable with the weapons i know, but those weapons for the world i also knew. i'd like to understand more modern forms of combat, and have been training myself as such.

6/7. the worlds we came from are the lies of a machine, and i support missions to reveal that lie to others. i do not support any forced choices from that revelation.

i have no qualms with killing those who would try to do us harm, or those who would do harm to the innocents in whatever matrix we visit.

He's also a magnificent dancer.

[halatinous]

ballroom only.

[forcemageure]

I'm sure we could find a Matrix with one! The captain seems very accommodating.

[halatinous]

somehow i doubt our missions will require us to dance.

[forcemageure]

Oh, I don't know. I'm rather fond of the image of you sailing gracefully over an Agent's head, executing a perfect pirouette before decapitating them.

[he's chuckling, but he hasn't learned emotes yet.]

honestly.
