Act: 8.0.2 - Prologue: A new, new, dawn
B0-B1 listens quietly to the arguements back and forth, both about leadership and each individuals percieved role within the talon outfit. He has largely remained quiet owing to his unfamiliarity with the group as a whole, only really having these proceedings to understand what the members are like. Once Cor sends out a vote request he quickly reviews the options and casts his vote, stepping forward after he does so to address the group.
”I had initially abstained from voting based on my recent inclusion to the black talon outfit. It has been made clear that time does not generate my value to the team, merely the inclusion itself, and whilst this concept is somewhat foreign to me, I can appreciate its significance. I am new, so I am coming to understand my role within the outfit, and I am not wishing to step on any toes, but this group seems to be most willing to defer to other people’s opinions rather than risk making the wrong choice for the group. Leadership is a difficult task to undertake, and any leader will make choices that are, as such, ‘wrong’, but it becomes our duty to work together to make the best of any situation.
To me, Cor has shown the most administrative element of leadership. This is not to suggest that she is not a decisive person, merely that she does not wish to create demands in such a delicate time for the group. However, I am willing to predict that she is capable of making those difficult calls in a moments notice when required, as is needed from leadership. Even if she were to maintain orbital distance during missions it would not diminish her overall leadership ability, this is where a mission leader would come into play, with greater command still being in her hands. Cor has my vote for the position of greater leadership of the talons.
Secondly, our position within the alliance is a difficult one to decide. The talons are already flagged by the Empire, so choosing to remain independent may remain more lucrative but there is no “playing both sides”. Do not take this as a betrayal element, merely the ability to talk our way out of capture with the imperial forces. The rebel alliance will employ our services as independents and welcome us as allies. We have to make a decision about this to which we all feel most comfortable; freedom to do more or less as we please independently or fall into another chain of command within the alliance, with further people to defer to, but more reliability to find work. I would personally like to see the alliance show us everything they can do for us before we sign ties with them; we do not need to take the carrot offerered without negotiating our position first. If a vote MUST be made, I vote independent operation for now provided the rebel alliance will continue to table the offer to join. Allow the carrot to get bigger before we bite it.”
He steps back and allows the room time to process. He had not yet been this forward and knew that it was a lot of information that could be taken in many ways.
OOC: so that everyone is aware, I’m currently vacationing, so the time I have to jump on here is relatively limited, but I will try to keep as up to date as possible
