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.

I struggle to think of a traditional ice breaker that isn't somewhat meaningless. The goal should be to learn how to work together, not to learn about each other's preferences. That can be done in social situations if so desired.

Appreciated. I can keep an eye out for raspberries.

I do think those things can go hand in hand in the right setting. Learning tidbits of information about one another might seem inane, but it lets us know what the other person likes or dislikes and often that says a lot about who they are as a person. And knowing who people are, and even sometimes remembering those small facts, can help us work together better.

That’s incredibly kind of you.

I think we have very different minds about this sort of thing, which isn't surprising given our temperaments. I don't agree but I certainly respect your opinion.

You're willing to do the same for me.

Likewise. I don’t normally make it a habit to defend ice breakers. So my apologies.

Well, we all deserve a treat and something to remind us of different times.

[onthedouble]

Everyone's allowed their stances, no apologies needed.

Yes, it can be useful.

Perhaps next time I should find one that’s less silly.

For now, we just have to settle for the bananas on board.
