[Sabriel's in her office at RISE headquarters- it seemed the appropriate place for this announcement. She's pulled on her armor and surcoat, her expression serious and solemn as she speaks.]

Major General Armstrong has been Ported out. As of now, I'm RISE's commander and I'm naming Jacob Taylor my second in command. [And then her tone shifts, becoming stern and businesslike.]

For those unfamiliar with us, RISE is a group of registered imPorts who work with the government to deal with dangerous imPort criminals and other problems local authorities can't handle- which seem to occur on a somewhat regular basis, and perform outreach to make sure our community has a good relationship with the local population. Our headquarters is in Martian Falls, but we operate in all the porter cities.

I know some of you have had bad experiences with governments in your own worlds, so let me assure you- we're not going to lock you up unless you've committed a crime and it's part of your sentence, or force you to fight battles you don't want to, or investigate you for being openly critical of the government. [Especially since shes privately suspicious of them herself.] But if you cause harm to the people of this world, or your fellow imPorts, then we'll have a problem.

I'd also like to announce that RISE is seeking new members. You need to be registered and not have committed any serious crimes in this world. Beyond that, I just need you to be comptent and ready to work with a team. If you're interested in working as a field agent, I'd like you to be proficient enough in nonpowered combat that you won't be helpless if hit with a nullifier, but we can use more than just fighters.

If you have any further questions, ask them here, or stop by Helix Station and ask them in person.

Re: Action

I've found one new arrival that was in the police before her arrival here. Beyond that, I hoped to recruit at the swear in.

I can put some feelers out on my own. I've run into a lot of soldiers and ex-military types around here. Maybe some of them could use a new cause to follow.

[Jacob sighs.]

We definitely need the extra numbers. Last month was intense- the hits just kept coming. I don't want us to get overwhelmed.

[bindsthedead]

You'd probably be better at recruiting among them than I would. But you're right. We're going to need all the help we can get- and not just fighters, but investigators as well.

[Jacob nods.]

I might be able to do something to help with that, too. The Major would be a hell of an asset if I can get her on board. I'd just need to convince her to Register, though.

[She's been a Vigilante for years, as long as Jacob has known her. And he can't say he blames her reasons for refusing to Register. But if she can compromise on it, then her, Jacob, and Sabriel can all be on the same team again- like Archangel, but with fewer cops kicking down their door.]
