Ticking Timebomb

This mission was probably one of the most exciting ones we've had yet. Each of the teams (Science, Command, Security, and Flight) had to work together to shut off the reactors and bring the commander back to the Prometheus.

The best part of the entire process was our team's ability to communicate. People from different specialized team's has no hesitation jumping into another channel and helping out the members of other teams. As part of the Command team, I had the opportunity to jump in and out of team conversations and coordinate searches. It was easy to jump in and out of conversations because I knew that the other teams were focused and communicating about their part of the mission. It was my job, along with the other command crew members, to bring those pieces of information to other teams and create the link in the mission. We would jump into our own conversation to collect our thoughts and pieces of information to create a new piece of the game plan.

As an Achiever/Mastermind gamer, this mission styled search was right up my alley. I loved having to coordinate with other players, but kept my eye on the prize. As a gamer, I am better suited to bobbing from one team to another, rather than diving in to one part of the mission. It is almost like being the conductor of an orchestra. You aren't the one who is necessarily going through the motions of the mission, but seeing that requirements get fulfilled to the best of each team's abilities.
