Notice:
It has been brought to my attention that a growing number of you have become increasingly negative toward our fellow team mates, greatly reducing our cohesion as a team. This cannot stand.
I have searched for, and implicated, many methods of rectifying this problem. Group training exercises have not worked; you simply grumble, do what is asked, then go on as if nothing has changed. Assigning duty shifts between feuding mechs has not produced positive results either. If anything, that has worsened it.
There have been many other attempts, all of which you have ignored, forgotten, or simply disregarded. Therefore, I have resorted to something Jazz termed a "last ditch effort."
I have searched the human Internet for team-building exercises and friendship-strengthening activities. I have tried many of these as well, as you may know, but the time has come to pull in one more effort.
As you have resisted every effort, I am resorting to a human elementary school method. Spike once informed me of a tradition he practiced in elementary school called "Warm Fuzzies." Students would anonymously write compliments for their fellow students.
Every other method has failed. I dearly hope that this, as juvenile as it is, will allow you to see my point; it is okay to dislike your team-mates. What is not acceptable is for you to torment, beat, prank incessantly, physically harm, mentally harm, psychologically harm, or harm them in any way.
This has gone on for long enough. We are a team, and though we may have disputes, and may have small rivalries, we must be able to work together.
Mechs have been ending up in Med Bay because their team mates either failed to pay attention in a dire time of need, or physically attacked and injured them. This will end.

Attachment: Warm Fuzzies Directions
Turn in one Warm Fuzzy to me (Prowl) once an orn with your regular report.
You may write them to whoever you wish, though I (Prowl) will keep a record of who has received Fuzzies from who. You may not provide repeats of any recipient until you have given a Warm Fuzzy to every member of the crew.
Fuzzies will be formatted as such: Name of recipient, content (Warm Fuzzy; must be more than just a few sentences), and name of sender.
I will remove the name of the sender before posting them publicly on the Message Board in the Rec Room, in addition to sending them to the recipient's personal mail.
