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.

Fortunately, Hanji doesn't seem to notice the way attention shifts just past her and then back. Instead, she's tapping her fingers against the podium she's leaning against, "Well, that's a good question, actually. Fortunately, I have an answer."

She straightens and sweeps her arm to encompass the room, voice picking up in volume as she goes on, "You're all here because you want to fight the kaiju! To serve humanity! Eventually, it might even be your job to kill kaiju using a jaeger. That's fantastic! But-"

She leans forward again, a spark of fanaticism in her eyes, "-what do you really know about the kaiju, besides what they put all over the news? Can you tell me about their DNA? About their anatomy? The best way to disable one? Whether or not pain incapacitates them or if they absolutely havewe don't know about them. As Sun Tzu said, 'Know your enemy'!"
