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.

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

[allthesame2me]

[Alex gives a half shrug, smile easy and posture relaxed; he seems amiable enough to the process.]

I met him at the shindig y'all put together for us; he seems like an okay guy... I think we'll get on okay.

[He shifts a little on camera, his brows rising in question.]

Is there anything we can do to make this process easier?

[Besides not snooping around? 'Cuz he and Tony already had.]

[ethology]

Try not to cause trouble for everyone else. Get to know your Sentinel.

[She pauses, seemingly searching for advice to give him. The truth is, she doesn't have much experience with being a Sentinel.]

Just - stay out of trouble.

[allthesame2me]

[There's a sting of guilt, because he's already gone snooping into things he wasn't supposed to, but he keeps his face neutral as she speaks. He nods, inclining his head, offering a slight smile.]

We're getting together to talk... I think we're far less objective than a few other pairs, so we'll be fine.

And we will.

[He would at least try his best.]

[ethology]

Good luck.

[A lot of these folks are going to need it.]

[allthesame2me]

[Alex's lips curl in a half smile and he nods.]

You too.

[They weren't the only ones that needed as much good luck as they could get.]
