Hey, thanks!  XD *slaps her forehead*<br/><br/>Oh, typical me, I knew I had forgotten something... *mutters*<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><br/>Officially, and to all your team members' information, this is a mission the US Government organised, funded etc.. The building is within a military base on Hawai, (Hickam Air Force Base). The WHO is involved, the military, several agencies. More is not known to any team member.</span><br/><br/>During the story, we'll focus entirely on what is happening in Europe, there'll be no contact to the outside world, so, anything further about who pulled strings in the background is irrelevant for now - until or in case we reach the point where the characters return to the USA. Then, the political background, the power struggles, conspiracy theories and all that might yet play a role.<br/><br/>Certainly the organisation would normally make such decisions. That's why I asked you whether you'd want a hierarchy in the team and an official leader.<br/><br/>We can discuss all that OOCly and then assume this decision was forced on the group or given as their orders.<br/><br/>I don't want to force a group structure on you or just go and pick a 'team leader'.<br/><br/>There'll be one very important person to still join the group, a scientist character. To protect that character from harm and help her get the documented medical data etc., will be crucial for the mission.<br/><br/>This might by logic make her a candidate for leadership, but on the other hand, so would the most experienced or qualified soldier (or similar background) character, or, whoever picked the highest official ranking in military hierarchy.<br/><br/>Whether the characters decide over the leadership and each other's responsibilities, or the players decide this OOCly, is up to you.<br/><br/>If you'd prefer if I alone decide who does what the way I think the organisers of the mission might, I'll do that, of course. I just thought it would be fairer and more interesting and natural to involve all of you in these  decisions as far as possible.<br/>
