Group Log : Q&A Session 001
Characters: Any/all
Location: The Meeting Hall
Date/Time: Sunday afternoon
Summary: Q&A with a Ranger. All Rangers and staff welcome to answer Q&A. All cadets are invited to the session, but attendance is not mandatory.
Additional Notes: Start your own threads, jack some of mine, go nuts. This is just another mingle post but it's also meant to be informative ICly. Other staff and Rangers showing up for interactions with the cadets is wholeheartedly encouraged.
The meeting hall, like every other area of the Shatterdome, has the feel of an industrial environment. The walls are lined with bleachers on three sides, while the forth side has a platform and podium. In the middle are rows of chairs, desks, and tables. It's clear that a large audience can be accommodated by the room when there's need, though the group that gathers there today isn't nearly enough to fill it.
Cadets will be directed to sit at some of the tables closer to the podium when they arrive, and given scratch paper to take notes on. Staff will be directed to the large table on the podium, which has a row of conference microphones, lamps, and water pitchers already set up. Everything is neat, cool, and professional. The fluorescent lighting and stern expressions of the support staff encourage a sombre attitude, but if anyone is looking up toward the podium they might catch at least one of the Rangers smiling as he peeks out from behind the curtains during the initial set up. He's wearing something like a wetsuit at the moment, though it won't be fully visible until he emerges for the demonstration.
Sharpen your pencils and have a seat, guys. You might even learn something.

... Wait a second. Hadn't this man up on the stage, too?
"How do you think they manage to function in a hive mind without going absolutely insane? Do they have a pre-programmed favorite color, for example?"
Whether he had been or not, he'd be putting himself - smile and all - right in front of the woman, everything about him absolutely earnest.

There's a pause while Hanji considers the idea, "They're more... Well, they're not really like anything on Earth, frankly!"
Her face splits in a grin. Apparently she likes that idea.
major mess up with timelines whooops mega apologies.
"I've heard it's a popular theory in Eastern Asia's coastal regions, though a bit superstitious-- if they're things from Heaven, they can't have minds of their own, you know, that sort of thing. In a sense, their destruction's with the single-mindedness of insects, isn't it?"
A pause and blink. A little wondering - more prompting than argumentative, honestly -,
"Sure, they're like nothing on Earth physiologically and so, probably, mentally, but if we don't put them on any basis, we may as well pack up the lab coats, eh?"

"I mean, we know some things about them, but there's so much that we simply don't because of their massive size and the way they tend to decompose. We know they're silicon-based, that their bodily fluids are toxic, but we have virtually no idea about their brain structure or how such a gigantic creature came about. We don't even know if they're sentient or not, because we can't communicate with them! Yet."
