[about four or so hours after the infiltration of the Mothership mission begins, a message appears on the network. it's in text, mostly because. . . uh. talking into one's magitek about an undercover mission while surrounded by enemy agents is probably not wise]

So has anyone come up with a code name for themselves yet?

[. . . yep. . .]

An undercover spy mission seems like a good chance for just that. Think about it-- you can finally be the person you've always wanted to be with the name you've always wanted to have. Viking. Sapphire. Velociraptor. I think the possibilities are pretty endless.

[THAT SAID]

Though it'd probably be nice to meet all of you without the mask of a code name, first. I keep running into people I don't know, and I can't tell who is an ally and who isn't.

[. . .]

I call dibs on the name 002.

[a very serious post during a very serious mission? also? help the new guy out by introducing yourself so he can stop freaking out every time he runs into someone new!!]

[Be brave!! He'll recover someday.]

it's an aircraft manufacturer. the avro 504 was used a lot in the war, but nowadays they just teach people how to fly with them or do cool stunts

[purrtagonist]

[it may take years. . .]

Huh.
I like it.
In fact, I think that's my favorite suggestion so far.
All right; I'll call you Avro from here on out.

[nextlineis]

yeah, alright, why not?
but what are you going to do if someone doesn't want a code name?

[purrtagonist]

Call them by their real name, I guess.
Failing that, call them by their username handles.

I'm not that picky.

[nextlineis]

i think that's when you should give them a code name anyway
i bet sooner or later they'll answer to it

[purrtagonist]

That's a good way to make sure someone out there is using the name Velociraptor.

[nextlineis]

it's wrong to be wasteful, right??

[purrtagonist]

Exactly.
And I'd hate to watch a good code name go spiraling down the train, unused and unloved.
