( well, someone got a little shaken when valdis looked at them sideways and proclaimed leader. it wasn't the first time, but if it were to be the last, clarke would be most comfortable. being shoved into that position hadn't done any of her people well, and as often as they toted her as their spokesperson they'd condemned her for her actions.

that said, she's not trying to shoehorn ari into the position either. it's moreso meant as: this is a combining of minds. a group effort, and will lean on the strengths of every member. if ari has strong ideas, why not start with them.

but... )

What passes as evidence for you? What would you need to be convinced?

And do we need to be convinced of everything? Or can we focus on the bigger claims without worrying about the fact the Captain possesses Pokemon cards.

[Ari's a command-qualified Tradeliner, trained for it since she was all of thirteen. If there were other Tradeliners here, and she had seniority, she'd step up and do what was necessary, without hesitation. She's self-aware enough to know, however, that what this group needs isn't efficient military leadership from an outsider. She's not suited to taking charge here in the slightest, and so her plan is to offer support to whoever does take the role, if they're tolerable. Clarke Griffin would be tolerable.

Even if that question strikes her as pointed, perhaps impatient.]

A report of empirical data. I'm not asking for a full scientific paper, just basic information. We know this because this person witnessed it happening. Here's the analytical deductions we've made from it. I'd completely omit anything based on mere hearsay, but it wouldn't bother me if others wanted to leave it in so long as it was clearly marked as such.

I don't know what Pokemon cards are. If they're trivial, no need to mention them at all. If they're important enough to be included, then yes, do it properly. If we come up with some plan that takes the fact of their existence as a given, damn right I'd want that proof.
