MENTAL LINK.
[Though it may be the first time that Bruce has reached out to everyone mentally, there’s no hesitation in how quickly his voice permeates in other hosts’ heads. As with most things, the man gets right to it — besides, this isn’t exactly being done for the sake of pleasantries.
Straight to business then:]
(If you’ve been paying attention, you’d know that Public Security Commissioner Seong-Hye Ngozi has been hiding something. I plan on visiting her office to find out exactly what that is.)
[Images of the office building itself filters through the link, the fruit of prior research and reconnaissance. And the implication is more than clear that this isn’t exactly going to be a scheduled office visit.]
(I’ll need distractions outside of the Public Security offices. Only volunteer if you’re confident that you know what you’re doing.)
[He’s sure questions are on their way, but he’s not willing to entertain them preemptively. Thus, his words end there.]
((ooc; this is the post for your character to ICly offer themselves to help with the break-in plot. (As detailed here.) Note that while Bruce might not find everyone’s credentials compelling, that won’t stop your character from coordinating with others if they want. He's not your supervisor!!!
Therefore, threadjacking is highly encouraged so all characters can sort out their plotting together!)

[ Pidge is perched on her bed, computer in her lap. She types something and then glances up, adjusting her glasses. She points at the desk - there's a grapple gun there, although it looks as if it's been put together with spare parts and stuff you could buy at a hardware store. ]
Let me know what you think.
no subject
I'll have to give it a test run or two. I'll let you know if any adjustments can be made.
[But of course, that's only half of why he's here. He drops his hand, feeling the balance and weight of his new gadget while he simultaneously states:]
I know you're frustrated, but you're smart enough to know why we can't afford another member on our team.
no subject
[ Pidge sounds a touch bitter. Why should she be surprised, though? The "adults" were going to handle everything and she should just not ask questions or try to help. Just stay behind, let the real experts handle it. ]
no subject
[Kids, and taking things personally. Sheesh.]
You'd still be an integral part of the mission.
no subject
[ Objectively, it's not that different from instructing someone over the phone, but it feels different. And that matters. ]
no subject
[Worse comes to worse, he'd rather have Pidge doing the work directly, even if it had to be off-site.]
no subject
[ She shrugs. ]
Mara's made it pretty clear that she doesn't think you guys need my help. Maybe she can figure it out. She's going to be going, right?
[ She doesn't mean that, but she's crabby. ]
no subject
Do you have a problem with Mara?
no subject
[ Pidge retorts bitterly. She apparently has a list. ]
She's an arrogant jerk who thinks that she's better then everyone! She thinks that my experience doesn't count, that I'm just some kind of beginner, and she clearly believes that we'd be so much better off if we just let her handle everything, because apparently she's perfect!
[ Ugh! Pidge throws up her hands. ]
How could you not have a problem with her?
no subject
I never said I didn't have a problem with certain facets of her personality. But I'm willing to work with her because I want the mission to succeed.
no subject
[ Pidge is definitely bitter about Mara. Yep. ]
no subject
[Do it on her own, he means.]
Even if Mara thinks she could, she still needs the help of others, otherwise she wouldn't be working with me. With anyone. Would you put the mission at risk by refusing your skills, just because you think she's arrogant?
no subject
I'm not going to refuse to help. I just want you to know that she shouldn't be a part of this.
no subject
Then let's see if she'll prove herself. You won't even need to communicate with her unless absolutely necessary.
no subject
[ So there. Bruce probably gets an inadvertent mental blast of frustration and irritation. ]
no subject
After this, no one is going to force you to do otherwise. You can make your own decisions on the matter; all I can say is that you reserve some judgment until after the mission itself is over. See where you stand then.
no subject
[ Still not happy, but she'll do it. ]
no subject
[That's that, then.]
