Is it? That’s what it’s all about, right?

@Audacious

If I’m working here, I don’t want to have a really bad day where I trip and end up on the other side of that dome.

@Nimda

*Looks genuinely confused*
What now?

@Audacious

Er, I guess this is getting weird, isn’t it? When I get going, I can phase through certain objects.

@Nimda

Oh, you’re that fast huh? That’s really cool.

@Audacious

Yeah, I don’t really know all the mechanics of it yet, but that’s part of why I wanted to do disaster stuff. It would come in handy.

@Nimda

Could other people handle the kind of speed you’d be using like that?

@Audacious

For regular stuff, yeah. Not the speed I’d need to pull them out of a closed building, if that’s even possible.

@Nimda

The specific idea I was thinking of was someone caught in an avalanche. It kinda just works one way, unless you're just moving rocks at the speed of light too.

@Audacious

Right, that would be tough. I could try clearing the rocks one-by-one at max speed.

@Nimda

Do you have a lot of experience in rescue heroics?

@Audacious

So, this is sort of my first dip into any job stuff. But every job trains you, right?

@Nimda

If you find someone to. The IA is fortunate enough to have institutions that do that sort of thing, so you’re lucky.

@Audacious

It wouldn’t be, like, on the job?

@Nimda

A lot of times you get full years of college for that sort of thing. Unless you’re really good at what you do.

@Audacious

Where I’m from, we had things like fire departments and such, which even accepted volunteers.

@Nimda

Sounds very specialized. Not, like, doing anything much more than saving people from fire. When you sign up for hero work, in a society with a vast number of different species of people, you have to know how to save properly anywhere, anytime, and based on specific biological needs that some species may have that others don’t. And that’s just surface level.

@Audacious

Sorry, maybe there’s a misunderstanding. I don’t want to be a hero.

@Nimda

Rescue work, right?

[Nimda]

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Rescue work, right?

@Audacious

Right, like if there’s an earthquake or something. Disasters and all that. I don’t think I’m equipped to try to save people in any situation.

@Nimda

No I fully get what you’re saying. I still call it being a hero because that’s really what it is. There’s a lot to know, and a lot of disasters can happen in worlds unfamiliar to you, where nature can have some different rules, and people could have different needs. That’s all I’m saying.
