[Haise has talked with several teammates about the lack of cohesion, and how difficult it is for all of them to coordinate. It was something he'd meant to discuss, or perhaps encourage others better suited, to bring up when they had some down-time. In the wake of a rather heated debate he chose to sat out on, he thinks maybe conversations about how they unify can't wait]
It seems that some of us may be feeling a little hot under the collar after recent events. Since I am an advocate for mercy, and am only alive because as much was extended to me when others may have argued against it, I don't want to touch on moral disagreements. Our stances will naturally differ, because our organization doesn't give us any unifying principles to abide by.
As a member of the CCG, I had very set guidelines to follow. Those weren't all things I agreed with, or felt right about. But they did maintain order, and did keep people safe. They made us an effective team, and more than once it's come up with colleagues here that we might benefit from that.
This was something I'd hoped might come up on Oska, when people had time to relax, but considering the circumstances...
Would any of you be interested in opening that discussion? That is, talking about our backgrounds, where we're coming from, and what we believe. If we start there, surely we can find a way to work together. If we're constantly at odds with one another, that isn't good for anyone. When I first joined, that division was certainly in place, but those I disagreed with still took the time to speak with me, and we did have common ground. I'd like to suggest that, as a team, we try to find that...for all our sakes.
Edit: Although I spoke of my own background in the example I provided, by no means am I suggesting that everyone do the same. Most importantly, we need to establish where we stand on issues we're often confronted with in our line of work. These things would inevitably show in our actions, so speaking on personal matters is not necessary for discussion.
What each of us believes and what course we're inclined to take is what I mean to inquire about.

To be able to help people and protect their lives even knowing your past, it's admirable. A friend of mine had a similar experience and they're still recovering from it. This probably puts me in the 'idealist' camp judging from the rest of the team's attitude, but it still matters to me. Deciding your own path despite what you are.
[ Keith is also being very open about this, which makes him easier to reply to. ]

I'm honestly tired of seeing people make it one way or another. That's not how it works.
Anyway, we're way more "idealistic" as a team than anyone realizes. I stand by that.
[Lloyd had pointed that out, as well. Keith stands by it. It's just that the harsher people tend to be louder.
Which ... Keith has also had his moments of being louder.]

Do most people fall towards the cynical side, from your experience?
no subject
Apparently, it's typical for us to do that.

I was told that our mission from ALASTAIR is also about saving worlds.
no subject
But everyone has a different idea of how to accomplish that.
no subject
In your experience, has it been easy for everyone to agree? It doesn't seem so to me.
no subject
[Too many cooks in the kitchen sort of deal.
Not that Keith would know that metaphor.]

Thank you. I still have a lot to think about.
