Dear 'Command Staff' & Crew,


Sawyer here. I'd just like to say I ain't seen a bigger group of babies in my entire life. Yeah, the twerp and the girl with the creepy eyes said somethin' ya didn't like. Yeah, they hurt yer damn feelings. So What! Grow the F*#K up already. Hell, some of ya'll are supposed to be damn 'superheroes' and ya'll are b*tchin' and moanin' like a bunch of goddamn sissies. Are you kiddin' me? So they said somethin' ya didn't like, tough. Grow a pair and shut up.

But, since we on the subject: What in the HELL?

Since when do we call in the cavalry to take out a mouthy little girl for talkin' back? Seriously? I mean f*ckin' SERIOUSLY? Don't know about the rest of ya, but where I come from, we have a little thing called 'freedom of speech,' which means I get to say whatever the hell I want no matter how much it pisses you the hell off because, guess what, you get to do it, too. And there ain't no way I'm gonna sit back and let a power-trippin' prick with a title behind his name take that away just 'cause he feel like it. I don't care who the hell he is!

Now, I didn't vote for any of these knuckleheads but this sure as hell wasn't what I expected when everyone else did. I mean, damn, we got our captain tryin' to arrest a damn KID for sayin' somethin' people didn't like. And then he's gonna go and tell her she can't use her 'magic?' For what? 'Cause she pissed him off? I ain't got any 'superpowers' and I sure as hell can't use magic, but I ain't blind. How the hell they gonna tell anyone not to use their powers? For what? Cuz they ain't got anyw? This ain't the first time they tried to lock someone up for sayin' sh*t they didn't like, an apparently it ain't gonna be the last, looks to me like our little Fuhrer and his Gestapo got themselves a little problem with bein' prejudiced and a little power-happy.

I mean, hell, we got the Captain threatenin' to use 'security' to lock up a little girl for speaking her mind. Then we got a Chief of Security that won't let the super-powered kids into security cuz he seems to think that patrollin' the city is just "too dangerous" for them to be doin' cuz they might get "hurt" but sendin' 'em to the damn frontlines when sh*t starts goin' down like they damn cannon-fodder is just, well, shucks it's ALL RIGHT. WTF? You seriously expect me to believe that fighting the sh*t we've had to go up against is safer for kids than walkin' the city and stoppin' the crew from friggin' JAY-WALKING?!? Where the hell is the logic in that, aside from keepin' everyone with superpowers OUT of security whether they wanna help out or not for no other reason than...aww, hell, it's so f*ckin' stupid that I can't even make up a damn reason!

And another thing. Why the hell ain't there a woman in the command staff higher than department head? Seriously? We promoted a damn dinosaur to the senior command and there's only TWO of 'em on the damn ship! You seriously tellin' me there ain't a single woman on this boat that ain't got what it takes? Hell, I can name FIVE off the top of my head!

Now, our little 'command crew' likes to point out that we all gotta stay in line cuz, if we don't, they gonna send us to the brig. What they've apparently forgot is that there are consequences to abuse of power, too. Luckily, rumor has it, when these clowns were elected it was made pretty darn clear that if they did sh*t like this, the crew could vote to remove them. Well, ain't no one done it...yet. So, I'm gonna start it. I'm officially movin' for a recall of the entire command crew, the Captain down to the department heads.

Yeah, it woulda been nice if the little girl and her blue-eyed friend had kept their mouths shut. But they didn't. And there's a lotta times it'd be nice if a lotta people kept their mouths shut, command included. But they don't. But sayin' somethin' that pisses people off isn't even in the same ball park as tryin' ARREST someone for sayin' somethin' you don't like. Like the man in tights said: the captain crossed the line. And it's a line he shouldn't've crossed and I ain't about to give him or anyone else a chance to try to cross it again.

So, if ya with me, great. If ya not, fine. Just keep in mind, like the kid said, who's to say who'll be next?

[Motoko has decided she likes you, you little shit.]

You do realize the irony of pointing out that people should keep their mouths shut this way.

[ford-sawyer-815.livejournal.com]

Guess I'm just a complicated fella!

[bonk-you-up.livejournal.com]

too long didn't read

[madeofwyn.livejournal.com]

You mean this?

[indigoblueberry.livejournal.com]

From what I understand, that's why the 'Outsiders' were formed.

[ford-sawyer-815.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, why make another command when ya can just change the one ya got?

[raptorwithagun.livejournal.com]

If you wish to question my abilities to lead, you may do so in person, human.

[ford-sawyer-815.livejournal.com]

Fine. I'll meet ya at the Mystery Machine.

[governorkang]

While I agree with a few of your points, I don't think that this was the best way to bring up your concerns.

And remember, we may not have been given all of the information.

[ford-sawyer-815.livejournal.com]

Hey, I've tried meetings. Hell, I've even tried sittin' in with a command meeting. Didn't get me anywhere.

And ya got a good point. How much more don't we know cuz they don't wanna tell us?

[starlightace]

Everyone should have a right to freedom to express themselves, and I think most people would agree that we really do need a system of law and order.

But I don't think getting rid of every single person who's been trying to run things in one fell swoop without already having people in mind is a good idea. Isn't that why the current leader stays in power for a little while after the new one is elected in politics?

Also, I don't need to tell you this, but just swearing at things won't get anything solved any faster. If you're going to demand people see things your way you should at least try to see things theirs.

[ford-sawyer-815.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've got people in mind to take their place, sweetheart. Good ones. Ya gonna like 'em.

[notlewis]

Is this really the time?

[ford-sawyer-815.livejournal.com]

According to these clowns it's never the time. Why? You got somewhere you gotta be?

[craaazyisland]

Okay, jackass, you got any volunteers to take over if you fire everybody?

[ford-sawyer-815.livejournal.com]

Got some ideas.

[yubyubcommander.livejournal.com]

This really isn't the time.

[ford-sawyer-815.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? Then when?

[doctor-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

While I'm sure what you say has a lot of merit I can't believe I just typed that out, perhaps this wasn't the time to bring this up. Perhaps it would have been best if you'd let things cool off a little and allow people to recover from their experiences with the Nightmare King.

[ford-sawyer-815.livejournal.com]

Awww, come on, Red. How long you known me?

[gaulung.livejournal.com]

Just when I thought people were starting to figure out how to settle things gracefully.

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

[There might be the sounds of sniffing and biting for a minute but eventually, an audio comes through. Mind the horrible English]

Not understand. If not ever contact command, how is command there? Not find them. What command do to small-Female?

[A pause. Another minute of sniffing]

Command cannot stop think. Not understand, can command change? This new thing to One.

[jesushasayak.livejournal.com]

Remembering a wrong is like carrying a burden on the mind.

[ford-sawyer-815.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and pretendin' it don't exist is just askin' for it to happen again.

don't listen to her, she didn't have much of a childhood

To which I would add we are perfectly willing to lock them up for what they say also. If they are old enough to be punished as adults they are old enough to fight.
