Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread II

Apollo shrugs, "Hey as long as the screeching stops I am down with whatever."

"Don't sweat it. Star and I have been at each other's throats since day one." Hope grinned a little at Apollo and shrugged. "This doesn't make much difference either way." she laid back down.

"I'm willing. More than willing actually," she said quietly. "Question is, what about the others?" she asked, ignoring Nitro's comment about power. Each of their abilities were different, not better or worse, different.

(OOC: It was a very detailed glance. Not a comment. And it was directed to Star. So Hope doesn't suspect a thing)

My bad, I thought he actually said that.
Edited to reflect.

"Those people that have fallen in with Barrington trust him he gives an order and they follow it.

If we can build that level of trust among each other then it really won't matter how powerful Barrington is or what he can do.

"I don't see how unquestioning obedience is a good thing. It means we'd only being benefiting from one person's good ideas, and that person's mistakes screw everyone. There's seven of us now anyway; each one of us can usually see what's going on in a fight," Star says sullenly. "And who gets picked to be the dictator?"

"A fully immersive holosimulation seems like an expensive way to just start figuring out how to work together. To start, maybe we should use the AI and power data for the holos, and have the computer run repeated trials for a bunch of different strategies and situations. Then we can practice the winning strategies instead of just fooling around."

Apollo shrugs, "Hey as long as the screeching stops I am down with whatever."

Screeching?! Even if you are super hot, that's not really fair. It's like you don't even care. At least Nitro is still on my side. Megan pulls on her earpieces and sets her phone to play music.

"I don't think she means unquestioning obedience. We do need a leader though. Of us all, Wren is the calmest in the middle of a fight." Hope remarked.

"We going to decide this now? Because honestly I would be at a disadvantage at who to choose," Apollo shrugs.

Black rejoins the conversation. He'd been doing other work using his neural interface to the plane's computers. He says "Well, when we profiled you guys, we had intended Optic to take that role. Unfortunately, we found a mission that only he can do -- due to his civilian role -- and so he's being transferred away. The fact is, none of you are that much more qualified for this than any other. I'd say you should find a leader anyway, but I'm biased by my background. Most superhero teams are far less hierarchical than I am used to. I think for the most part you need to just build trust and teamwork. Maybe even something of a playbook, though you'd need to figure out who calls 'em. As long as you are coordinating properly, you should be fine. A leader is one way, but you can do without."

(BTW, can everyone who hasn't weighed in on moving to ATT please do so in the OOC thread.)

"Still, from what I've seen of superhero groups, there usually is someone the others defer to." she grinned a little. "That would exclude me of course," she chuckled.

Oh crap… maybe I should give an opinion on this? I mean I agree with Star… and I guess everyone else does too, but there is no reason to push the subject. This team stuff is certainly a little more nuanced then I had thought, it’s more like the band, got to know each other… trust each other, man that shouldn’t be hard right? Apollo thinks as he stands and sits next to Star.

He smirks and whispers, “Hey you okay? You seem to be going pretty hard on her... I mean yeah she screwed up… and maybe she isn’t ready to fully admit that, but in the end we won right? What are you listening to?” He focuses his hearing to pickup the subtle sound waves that not even she could hear, “It sounds good…”

“Honestly I like the playbook idea,” he says louder, “I mean it would be nice for someone like Nitro to call out a maneuver and we just execute it. I mean the plays would have to be a little fast and loose for some interpretation, but with some practice we could pull off some damn fine performances. Personally from my experiences the front man gets the glory but he also has a ton of responsibility and when things go less then awesome, he is the one ultimately held responsible. Meaning he, or she,” he glances to Star, “would have to shoulder the brunt of our failures.”

“Personally from what I have seen Nitro, Wren, or even Star would probably make good candidates, I would say myself but you guys don’t know me… and honestly I am not sure if I am ready to take on that responsibility being the FNG… but I am not afraid either,” Apollo adds his somber mood clearing.
