I've talked to the Captain about the problems people are having with who's in charge. As it stands, he has someone currently drafting laws that everyone will have a chance to discuss, potentially change, and then vote on, and then afterward, depending on how choosing leaders is decided in those laws, he's going to have everyone decide if they still want him to be leader or if they want someone else.
Deciding these kinds of things is difficult, though, and I know everyone has very legitimate concerns about how this crew is run, and about our future.
For those reasons, in the next week, I'm going to go going around the ship and talking to everyone. I already talked to the Captain and heard his concerns, so I want to hear things from your side, too. I want to get to know everybody and what they're worried about, and then, when I do, I would like to throw a meeting for the entire crew. During it, I want to explain what I know of the Daligig and the Ohm, so everyone understands our situation better. And then I want to help you all get past your differences and get along.
My duty back home as Avatar is to act as a mediator, as the person that helps resolve conflicts between many different peoples across different nations. I want to at least try to do the same here, since I have experience with it, and since I'm pretty impartial. (It's my job to be).
So what I'm asking everyone is for your trust, and to talk to me as I go around the ship meeting everybody, so we get to know each other. The captain understands that I don't take the sides of rulers--or anybody. I help people work out problems and treat each other fairly and to actually solve them. I want you all to have the chance to get to know me, so you know it's true.
What I'm also asking if everyone is comfortable with that. Are you all comfortable with it? If not, do you think you'll be comfortable if we talk first? I want to see how everyone feels about this before I do it. And to ask me questions if you have any! I know people might want to know how I feel about certain things before letting me be a mediator for something that important.
(I told you I'd get back to you, Mr. Sawyer).
