Video #1 UN: Waltz
[Unlike some people whose biggest concerns are their inappropriate footwear, Cam is all business.
Speaking to you live from a crumbling room within the colony is a tall, bearded man wearing a suit. Or half of one. He has his sleeves rolled up, Prada jacket slung over an overturned desk. His face isn't unfriendly, but there are well-worn lines speaking to a serious nature.
This man does not wear flip-flops.]
Hello, my name is Cameron Waltz. Like you I am a recent arrival, and have more questions than answers regarding this place, and why we're here. Back home I was a humanitarian interpreter and cultural mediator specializing in foreign aid and disaster relief. Experience I hope will be useful, considering the conditions, as it appears we've found ourselves in something of a disaster.
In my brief exploration of the colony, it appears many of the necessary facilities are damaged and in disarray. Those few blocks that aren't already compromised will be well on their way if the problems regarding utilities and structural decay aren't addressed.
Especially since we appear to be activating potentially hazardous technology left and right. All it takes is one spark to set an electrical fire, or worse.
If we're going to survive here, it's important we work together to increase our chances. There are far too many repairs to complete alone. We need to survive before we can return home.
I don't know how many of you are out there, but if you can read this I would appreciate a response. A rough headcount would be helpful in terms of rationing supplies. People with engineering skills and knowledge relevant to repairing or securing the colony, please name yourself and what you can do.
A directory of skills could be incredibly helpful in terms of creating working teams to get things done.
To everyone who may be out there, you are not alone. If you are hurt, or simply don't know what to do, I and many others will be here to help.

So um-- h-hi, I'm Peter. Uh, I've already been looking into getting some of the tech around here repaired and, y'know, back up to code, I guess. It's totally doable, mostly a matter of tracking down tools and spare parts, prioritizing which things need looked into first.

Cam puts a smile on, because he doesn't want to look half so uncomfortable with Peter's presence as he is.]
Hello Peter, nice to meet you. It sounds like you've been busy. I'm not an engineering man in any way, shape, or form, so I'm entirely useless in that department, but from what I understand we're I'm in complete agreement.
We can do this. It's just a matter of time, supplies, and manpower.
[Finally, because he can't help himself--]
Did you learn about this kind of thing in school?

You're a bit younger than the group I work with, but from everything you've said you've got both know-how and experience. All that matters is you can back it up.
Being self-taught is in some ways more useful than a formal education. Your knowledge is more flexible. Adaptable. You can't have gotten as good as you are on your own without strong critical thinking abilities and creativity.
[Can you tell he's a very supportive father???]
no subject
A formal education is definitely a good first step, for sure, but it just wasn't keeping up with me, y'know? After a while you just kinda stop getting anything out of it. Easy A's, though, can't complain about that.
[There's a bit of an awkward pause before Peter continues,]
But um, yeah. Not trying to brag or anything, but I can definitely back it up.
no subject
There's nothing wrong with being proud of your accomplishments, or unique skills and talents. If you've got it, flaunt it.
Or more importantly, share it. Not everyone is as gifted as you are in those areas, and you could be of great help to many people.
no subject
Oh, dude, we are so on the same page right now. I'm gonna be setting up shop down in the R&D area, and I figured I could... I dunno, give lessons to anyone interested. I definitely don't want to be the only person here who knows how to keep this place running, y'know? I can get around pretty fast, but I can't be everywhere at once.
I just uh... don't have any experience teaching? So I'm not sure how it'll actually go.
no subject
Twenty or so heads, by my count. From those who volunteered information as well as those who haven't that I've spotted on the network, or in physical passing.
Teaching is a skill that can be learned like any other. I do know we have a teacher in our midst, whether he is the man to teach you how to teach... Well, it can't hurt to try.
Worst case scenario, you'll learn on the job, and as a very bright, friendly boy I'm sure you'll do just fine either way.
no subject
I'm not really the best at like, talking in front of people? So if this teacher guy has any pointers for that, it would be pretty awesome. I'll make it work either way, though. Don't really have a choice not to.

My daughter has yet to make popcorn in the microwave without burning it. I can't decide if she isn't inclined towards cooking, or she enjoys the taste of smoke.
I'm not a master chef by any means, but I've done a great deal of traveling and learned to fend for myself under a variety of conditions. No matter where I've gone, or how dire the circumstances, the locals always found a way to make something out of what appeared to be nothing. To me, anyway. Being an incredibly privileged American.
In comparison to some places I've been, we have a veritable buffet at our disposal here.
Not that I don't miss my morning cappuccino.
no subject
I think we're better off here that we were at the last place I was stuck, though. We can grow our own food, once we get everything back in top shape we'll be set. Back in Hadriel we had to rely on the guys running the place to restock our food supply.
Totally feel you on the coffee, though. I would do just, unspeakable things for a Starbucks right now.
