Hello,

My name is Reinforce Eins, a device in the service of the Magic Department and along with my younger sister one of the ship's internal communications officers.

As most of you should be aware, despite the many similarities present between most of our worlds-of-origin, there is a large, unexplained level of variation between the personal abilities - what we of mine call magic - many of us possess, and few of us understand each others' in any useful level of detail.

This paucity of knowledge is an impediment to our efficient use in both combat and other types of operations. Command cannot be expected to develop a coherent combat doctrine or wage war effectively if it does not understand all the weapons and tactical options at its disposal. In order to remedy this dangerous state of affairs I propose an initiative to collect information on such abilities and their uses from the crew in a systematic manner and develop a detailed report to Command to aid in future doctrinal and combat planning.

This proposal is here submitted to command and the crew at large for initial comment.

What about those with powers but who do not like to use them? Or other disabilities that might get in the way of combat, both physical and mental? How will those be handled?

I would encourage you to consider whether such principles serve your interests, and the greater good, in your present situation. But if you do not think you will be willing to use them under any circumstances, there is little point in providing me the information.

Disabilities unless they are of a purely magical nature fall within the purview of the medical department, which I would hope is sharing with command information on which crew are not suited for combat.

I am willing to use them when needed, but, well, when I submit the report, it'll explain why.

There are things I don't know about my powers, but medical is helping me figure out their origins. I believe they will be happyto keep you updated.

I also have a fear of blood, so I don't know how useful I can actually be on a battle field.
