So I got to thinking, shock and amaze I know. The word "team" has that saying... of something like... "There is no 'I' in team."

However, there is a 'me'.

That aside, forgive me if I'm wrong, but a team is usually a group of individuals performing together to complete a task. If this is true... how is it a functional team if some of those individuals are lazy and don't put in their fair share of work?

Is it really considered a "team"?

They are the weak links and they are generally pruned.

[silver-reign.livejournal.com]

Weak links, eh?

So now suppose the one who's created such a team... refuses to do such. What does this make him?

[space-ripper.livejournal.com]

As useless as the ones who are weak.

[silver-reign.livejournal.com]

Oh good. At least someone here still talks sense... Perhaps you could show me how you'd handle such a situation.

[space-ripper.livejournal.com]

I prefer to beat sense into the ones who aren't working.

[silver-reign.livejournal.com]

Oh ho~! Bravo.

Do they learn?

[space-ripper.livejournal.com]

...Most of the time. Pain tends to be an excellent motivator.

[silver-reign.livejournal.com]

Are you truly such a man of action?

Such a leader? Why would any go against you?

[space-ripper.livejournal.com]

The threat of betrayal is always there, but it was incredibly rare...With a single noted exception.

[silver-reign.livejournal.com]

An exception you say? Can I take a stab that the exception for one of your own to become stronger than you?

[space-ripper.livejournal.com]

There's only one I ever trusted enough that was powerful enough to do that...and he is loyal to me and only to me.

[silver-reign.livejournal.com]

If that's the case, why put up with the rest of 'em?

Which reminds me!...

I was going to get your fellow's chip out. Since Gate's going on playing goodie two shoes, or whatever it is he's doing... I highly doubt he'd be up to the task... though were you still interested?

[space-ripper.livejournal.com]

I needed their specific expertise.

[Locked]

Quite interested. I would require a safe place for him to stay until he gained full control over his powers. He's...dangerous with them not under control.

[silver-reign.livejournal.com]

I suppose that can be understandable.

[Locked]

I removed Gate's chip, via file sharing... I know of the general location of it, but I'm not sure how similar a reploid's body is with that of a human.

As such, I'd offer, but I'd most likely botch it. Hm... I wonder if I could somehow convince one of the medical staff...

[space-ripper.livejournal.com]

They were usually of no concern.

[Locked]

I'm sure there's at least one less-than-ethical doctor here...finding that one, however, may be tricky.

Perhaps I'll do a bit of searching around. Consider this a new task bestowed upon me by one as powerful as yourself. No charge needed.

Anything that will save me the work...Thank you. I suppose I will owe you a favour.
