Nonspecific comment of agreement. Do you think anyone reads these conversations?
I'm not really surprised about either of these things. Safety is a relative concept and these sort of arguments are bound to happen when you've got a hodge-podge group of people whose best descriptor is "misc. (mostly) supernatural weirdos".
Who's got time to comb through everybody's gossip? [any nosy people would give up once they ran into the wall of asher texts......] I think we're safe. If you're that concerned I can talk to you in person, np.
We're the largest of the teams I've encountered so far, too. We have about eighty people, don't we? Noor, the team I was temporarily reassigned to, was much, much smaller-- including myself and the other ALASTAIR members who'd been rifted in to help. Eighty supernatural weirdoes make a hell of a lot more noise than twenty.
It's fine. I don't really want to talk about it in person either.
[Things Fugo never wants to talk about: Purple Haze. The best way of coping with things you don't like about yourself is to never verbally acknowledge them unless absolutely necessary. Right??]
The number fluctuates, but it's never over eighty. Sometimes I wonder if, given how people come and go and we're occasionally offered side missions, if this team is meant to be temporary until a better fit is found on something smaller.
[He's... actually never considered it in that light before. Jin furrows his brow, and answers--]
So like a feeder team? I know that we're relatively new, just from what I've heard from people who've been here longer than me, but that's not entirely off base. My mission was completely specialized: two teams, one fully composed and one made of agents on side missions, and we were maybe half the size of Audentes altogether.
Something like that, yes. There are advantages to big teams (namely numbers and a wider array of skills/knowledge) but, in my experience, smaller specialized teams tend to be more effective at this sort of work.
[As attached as he is to everyone here... even his old Special Forces team, where they also all hated each other for the first month and a half, was more put together than this.]
Imagine if we failed in Woodhurst. Or what might have happened if we were unable to find a cure and had to kill anyone who was infected, including our teammates.
Morale would be totally shot. Everything would fall to pieces.
Anyway. One casualty there was difficult enough. I'm just glad the team wasn't hit harder. Hopefully whatever our next mission is... after this dander-filled break... won't be nearly as perilous.
[Jin debates on pressing him further. The realism's refreshing-- but all too sobering a welcome back after everything. It doesn't matter how close they'd gotten, if they'd made it out; there was no use dwelling on how close they'd come. But Fugo's right. And he's exhausted. For once in his life, he'd rather actually take a break instead of pick a fight.]

[He misses being on Bruno's team. For a bunch of sad reasons. But also because the man ran a tight ship, okay.]

Well. Mostly. I don't think we've totally tanked a mission yet, which has got to count for something.

the gagtag wasnt that far from the real one

Get some rest while you can, Jin.
no subject
Yeah.
[He'd rather not right now.]
You take it easy too, Fugo.
