The new "Captain" and "First Mate" appear human, right?
Is there anything that could be learned by listening in on their conversations? Like if Robin used her powers to grow copies of her ears in the rooms they're inside?
Also, worth asking: I assume 'Historian' is not a vital job (although Robin is gonna refuse to do anything but that anyway). Would her books be considered 'frivolous items' and what would happen to them as a result?

Quick question, unless I've just missed it somewhere? But what does Ingress work entail?
Will Dutch still be keeping her job as a welding tech? I'd say that's still pretty essential, but I wouldn't know for sure.
In reference to room inspections, will characters still be permitted to keep their pets in their rooms?
With the room inspections and tightening up of how the ship is run, will characters who currently refuse to sleep in their assigned rooms and mostly sleep in the cargo bay be forced to give up their hobo lifestyle?
Can a character's question be posed to the Captain/First Mate, set after the Moira goes into 'save' mode?
L won't be the only decent candidate, but I'd be interested in putting him up for Head of Tower.
First, he's been a department head on a ship before in his previous game, so he has experience, and I have experience with organizing the OOC end of stuff like that, hopefully in ways that aren't too binding or oppressive for other players, but instead give them stuff to do and make them feel like their characters are more fully integrated into the environment. I notice that sometimes when games have job systems, it's really common for them to fall by the wayside and for people to be confused about what's going on simply because there's not always a lot of OOC organization or communication about that aspect. Also, ordering people around through investigation and coordinating creative quick retrievals and stuff in very high-stakes scenarios is pretty much what L does in canon.
Second, and following on that, I had already drafted and was planning to send out a note to people whose characters' current job assignments were Tower-related work (mostly Stealth, Intel, and Counter-Intel) to ask them if they wanted to loosely coordinate in future plots, sort of like the stuff I did for the rescues! Just non-binding ideas, opportunities, ways to get characters talking to each other in ways that incorporate their jobs or talents. (If somebody saw me saying on Plurk the other day that I'd "left something really important out of his CR meme post, but I'll talk about it in the near future in a game-related plurk," this is what I was referring to.) I like helping other players find each other and helping facilitate CR, and also making it possible for characters who would not really want to "obey authority" feel like their ideas and talents are respected, and their IC "boss" isn't that far above them in hierarchical terms.
If he's not chosen, I'd still be willing to help out the player of the character who is with this kind of coordination, if they want it and if the plot works out in such a way that it's helpful to other players to do it. ETA: and since I suspect these positions will be temporary, during the anniversary event and while apps are closed, I'll still be willing to help do this kind of thing afterward if the need comes up.

To what extremes are 'frivolous items' going to be taken away? Would a character be allowed to hang onto, say, a phone that easily fits into a pocket? That also would have access to some minor interdimensional storage if the creator will be able to fix the thing, aha
Kaz has 15 years worth of command experience. He's also been running the training sim room and making notes of everyone's strengths and weaknesses. He makes a point of referring people to proper trainers when they're seeking out specific instruction. His specific advantage with the MSF and with Diamond Dogs was that he raised the morale and determination of any department he was a part of.
He's a master of navigating intel and offering up multiple strategies, as well advised as possible. And he'd do his best to make use of every person placed in defense and train them well.
Additionally, while he doesn't have starship experience specifically, he does have survivalist experience, rationing, rebuilding, business organization, plague management, and WMD handling all under his belt. And he's performed reliably every time the ship and its crew has been in danger in the past seven months.

They do appear human. Anything in that post above can be listened in on. Robin could learn that info there.
Historian would be a vital job since someone needs to be taking accurate records. Books wouldn't be frivolous and can be kept. They aren't cruel, just you know get out all the junk.

Following the previous question: If something is "frivolous" would it be okay to pack them off to the cargo bay immediately?
