I'd like to officially ban future use of ice breakers on the network, should the rest of Leadership agree.

As an alternative, we could require approval from an individual's boss before posting. Thoughts?

Ground Forces.

Any reports of note? I recognize I've been a little scattershot as of late with various trips to the ground, but that's no excuse for not keeping up with your paperwork.

Additionally, Dreamscape needs volunteers to watch the experiment participants, given the sleeper debacle. This ask is a courtesy — I will choose people if too few come forward.

Taryn.

Why does de Vries have a ring suddenly? What is happening on this ship? Every time I look away for a minute something strange has happened.

More entertainment for the rest of us. No vote yes from me. Signed, a heathen.

[onthedouble]

Heathen is such a harsh word. What would change your vote to a yes?

[jaxsons]

A knave, a rascal. And it depends, as Flip's pointing out, on your definition of an ice breaker. More than half the questions I've seen on here qualify.

[onthedouble]

An ice breaker is intended to ease social discomfort between people who don't know each other and are required to work together. Even with new recruits, it seems unnecessary when we all live in such close quarters.

[jaxsons]

I actually both don't know enough and now know too much about our newbies.

[onthedouble]

I assume the 'too much' is a product of the ice breaker.

[jaxsons]

No, anywhere's game. I wouldn't mind a proper work icebreaker with the kiddos that doesn’t hinge on who they find attractive.

[onthedouble]

Seems like a wonderful thing to run yourself in the common area.

[jaxsons]

I'll definitely not think about it.

[onthedouble]

Whatever brings you joy while not polluting comm channels, as they say.

[jaxsons]

You can't say "as they say" when you're the they in question, Saito.

[onthedouble]

The 'they' is singular.

[jaxsons]

See, now we're in third person.

[onthedouble]

For the purpose of this, yes.
