Now that everyone's had a chance to settle it, it's as good a time as any to announce assignments. I won't do this every time, but occasionally I'll be the one making announcements on behalf of the governors.

[A beat.]

I should probably introduce myself.

My name is Sarah Harding. I've been here about six months. Until recently, I taught Wilderness Survival, but I've been reassigned, myself. We have a surplus of Fatemarked and not enough Sentinels to go around, so every hand's on deck.

I encourage all of you to introduce yourselves if you haven't yet, particularly to the people to whom you've been assigned. Here goes nothing:

Cissie King-Jones, I'm assigned to you. Let me know, we can meet up and talk.

Tony Stark, you're with Gene Khan.

Jack Metcalfe, Daniel Kinney.

Martha Jones, looks like you were specifically requested by Severus Snape.

Chase Collins, you're with Alex Marsters.

Malcolm Ducasse is with Brigid Finn.

[She falters over the next name.]

Ru- [...] Rumpelstiltskin - Really? - you're with O'danyu Mitnu. Did I say that right?

...Right.

Lastly, Tim Drake and Seraphina Mirandir.

I think that's everyone. If you have any questions about the assignments or the Facility, I can try to answer them.

[wrathfulkhan]

[Dryly:] Yeah...we figured that one out.

I have some notes here saying you might antagonize one another. Is this going to be a problem?

[paeon]

If you meant my name, then you must separate the O from the Danya. It is of little matter, however, as it is an honor to be paired. Thank you for the announcement.

[ethology]

O'Danya. [She makes a concerted effort to pronounce it correctly this time.] Sorry about that. We get all kinds here.

And - you're welcome.

[bostonhowler]

Thank you for announcing this. Is there any restriction to the library?

[ Tell her there's a library... ]

[ethology]

Not that I know of. Just don't steal or deface the books.

Which one are you?

[mrsarcastic003]

...Good to know.

[And now he knows who to try to duck away from as soon as humanly possible.]

[ethology]

Glad to help.

[highprofilerichkid]

Oh, trust me, I know. [Wow, Tony, could you be any more bitter?] Thanks for the public announcement. [...Yes, apparently.

Suffice it to say, Tony is not thrilled about having everyone know who his assigned Fatemarked is.]

[Alex clicks over to the video option and his expression is clearly bemused.]

There you go with that excitement level thing again... down to a three, Tony, down to a three.

[Don't be so down, snooping bro.]

[ethology]

My pleasure.

[There are a lot of people here, but it's not that big. Word gets around eventually, kid.]

You two aren't going to have a problem, are you?

[Audio]

[cisskabob]

Hi, Sarah. I'm Cissie. So, uh... You've been teaching here? Does that mean you're not now?

[Audio]

[ethology]

There's not a lot of need for Wilderness Survival in the middle of a city. It was something to do while I was waiting on an assignment. Busywork. You know.

[It might not escape Cissie's notice that Sarah is actually a little uncomfortable. She's never had a Fatemarked assignment before.]

So - why don't you tell me about yourself?

Video;

[allthesame2me]

[Alex lifts a hand, offering a half wave to the camera.]

Hi, Sarah... Alex here... I appreciate the heads up.

Chase, hit me up...

[Alex liked Chase well enough, so figured this would work out okay.]

Audio on this end

[ethology]

No problem, Alex. I hope everything works out with you and Chase.

[bastardofipswich]

Sure. We should meet up. Let's do brunch.

He might be a little tired of that reaction by now.

[cantwalkwithoutit]

Really.

[ethology]

[By now, she's had too many conversations to know exactly what he's referring to.]

What's that?

[paeon]

Rumpelstiltskin, would you like to meet?

[ She's ignoring the grump here, since she has no idea what the really was about, either. ]

[wildcaller]

Umm...I didn't hear my name, does that mean I haven't been assigned yet?

[ethology]

Probably not. We have a shortage of Sentinels right now, so if you're Fatemarked -

What's your name?

video;

[bastardofipswich]

We don't have to babysit any Fatemarked who aren't assigned, do we?

video;

[ethology]

That's an odd question. Why do you ask?

[traqueur]

Really? I was?

[ethology]

[Having spoken to numerous people today, Sarah's unable to keep up with who's who.]

Who's this?

[aquilawful]

If you need more Sentinels, I can pull double duty.

[Jack would like to pretend the fate of the universe doesn't rest on his shoulders, please.]

Until you fill out the ranks, of course.

[ethology]

I'm not sure the governors would go for it.

[Truth be told, though, the fact that they pulled Sarah off instructing to pair with Cissie is concerning.]

Don't worry: we're working on bringing in more soon.
