KRDN - Kamen Rider Dispatch Network

This is an AU where the Riders work for an organization similar to the SDN in Dispatch. The dispatchers are their supporters, Riders no longer able to fight, and sometimes Riders who need a break or are injured. We're making this up as we go but our main focus/the main characters are Team Rogue which is our equivalent to Dispatch's Phoenix Program. Currently the team is led by Decade, dispatchers are Akiko (W) and Mio and Maya (Kiva), team members are Diend, Saga/Dark Kiva, Nazca Dopant, Genm, Nyelv Stomach (Gavv), Heure (Zi-O), Ora (Zi-O), Lachesis (Gotchard), Aguilera, Over Demons, and Hikaru Jo (Blade).

Welcome to the Kamen Rider Dispatch Network or KRDN for short. If you ever need help contact us and we'll dispatch the best Rider for the job to assist you as soon as possible. Our goal is to help our Riders identify where they're needed and supply them with the resources they need to do their job. We have several teams of Riders with various specialities and powers. No job is too small for our Riders! -Terui Akiko, Head Dispatcher

What would you like people to know?

Tsukasa: Alright let's keep it moving, Ikki and Vice

Ikki: Make them a team

Vice: I think they're cool as hell let em be a team

Hibiki: My team has no complaints let them do it

Takeru: I've been talking to a lot of them, they genuinely want to do good so let them

Ace: Anyone can turn things around with enough work, they've put in the work they deserve to be rewarded for it

Kenzaki: Give them a shot, they earned it

Haruto: I think they deserve their second chance, let's trust them

Akiko: So it boils down to the Medic Team and Team Gummy needing to go through mediation with Team Rogue

Shoma: But I voted in favor of them!

Akiko: Your team still needs to smooth things over so we know we can count on the two teams to work together. I'll arrange something within the next few days. Once they're settled I'll start looking at recruiting our next team of Rogues

Team Leaders: *groan*

Akiko: *face in her hands* What did we just talk about?

[kamen-rider-dispatch-network]

Name: Parado

Position(s): Kamen Rider Para-DX, Team Building

Species: Bugster

Gender: Bigender

Pronouns: He/Him

Sexuality: Pansexual

Romantic Attraction: Panromantic

Relationship Status: I've got a crush, there now Nyelv isn't alone have fun with your speculation

What would you like people to know?

Be proud of who you are, embrace it, find those who are like you or support you. Have fun and enjoy your time with those people. Love whoever you're going to love and do so deeply.

(You and Nyelv are dealing with any backlash from Akiko you know people are going to start making gambling on this. -JK)

[kamen-rider-dispatch-network]

Name: Tsukimura Akari

Position(s): Team Spirit Dispatcher, Lab Researcher, Field Researcher

Species: Human

Gender: Bigender

Pronouns: He/Him He/Hir

Sexuality: Bisexual

Romantic Attraction: Biromantic

Relationship Status: Single

What would you like people to know?

Wanting to pass is fine. Wanting to stick with traditional gender roles is fine. What's not fine is trying to dictate those choices for others. If a trans man doesn't want top surgery he's still a man. If a trans woman wants to grow a beard she's still a woman. If a nonbinary person does something that falls into societal gender roles they're still nonbinary.

[kamen-rider-dispatch-network]

Shoma: *sighs* I vote make them a Team

Tsukasa: Why? A week ago you would have been fighting me on it so why the sudden change of heart?

Shoma: Isn't that the answer you wanted?

Tsukasa: No I want to know what you genuinely think even if I disagree. We may have our small teams but everyone in the KRDN is on one team. So don't just tell me what you think I want to hear. Tell me what you really think.

Shoma: I think we were wrong, I think I should have stepped in and stopped Hanto. I didn't realize how bad it really was or how much it was hurting Nyelv-niisan. It's not an excuse but it is what happened. The others don't seem too bad either, I know Daiki-san and Kuroto-san hate me but most of them leave us alone, even Hanto, unless Nyelv-niisan is involved then they rush to defend him. I think they're all better people than we gave them credit for and everyone who doubted them, including me and my team, should talk it out and apologize.

Akiko: And that's why you work in peer support, that was a very well thought out answer

Ace: Did you reherse that

Team Leaders: *snickering*

Shoma: No! I mean it wasn't rehearsed... I may have been thinking about what to say for a couple days

Team Leaders: *full blown laughter*

Akiko: Alright that's enough let's wrap this up already

Pronouns: They/Them She/Her

Sexuality: Bisexual

Romantic Attraction: Aromantic

What would you like people to know?

My father demanded I be a man despite my insistance that I'm nonbinary and didn't tell me I'm intersex. I had to figure it out when I was almost an adult. Well the bastard is rotting in hell now and I'm done pretending to be something I'm not and I'm not a man.

Your found family is your real family. The ones you choose to be part of your life regardless of blood relation are your family regardless of what others may think or say.

[kamen-rider-dispatch-network]

Tsukasa: Alright let's keep moving around the room Hidari and Philip what do you think?

Shotaro: We like the Rogues, I think Kirihiko made a mistake with his ex-wife but overall he's a good judge of character and I think he's right about his team being good people

Philip: Nyelv and Kuroto aren't as bad as everyone says, I enjoy working with both of them. Team Rogue has worked hard they deserve to be treated the same as the rest of us and they deserve to stay together as a team

Eiji: I agree, Ankh changed for the better why can't they? I vote to make them a proper team

Gentaro: Nyelv did amazing as Fourze and I've gotten to know the others when checking in on him at the hospital. I'm siding with the Rogues on this one, we should be trying to get along.

Wataru: I'm voting to let them be a team, three people I love and trust are on that team and they vouched for the others. The ones I have talked to have been nothing but pleasant.

Houtaro: Make them a real team, Lachesis has come a long way, clearly Nyelv has too based on the Fourze thing. I don't know much about the others but they haven't caused any problems for anyone other than each other, probably because they feel safe together

*all eyes fall on Shoma*

Shoma: *slouching down in his seat* Pass?

Tsukasa: Not a chance gummy boy, start talking. Which will it be? Will you do your job and keep your boyfriend in line? Or are we going to sit here for however long it takes to deal with this problem?

*Snickering around the room*

Vice: *nudging Shoma laughing* Dude he pretty much just used your own catchphrase against you

Ikki: *sighs* Vice...

Shoma: *face bright red, muttering* Yeah I can see that...

KRDN NEWSLETTER 2

Hello KRDN staff and donors, I appreciate your patience I know we didn't do a newsletter last month it's been a bit crazy. It may be a bit before I'm on a consistent schedule as I work out when the best time for updates are and work around my work load in other departments. To make up for it though I'm going to try to put out an extra issue this month.

Employee Spotlight: George Karizaki

Gender and Pronouns: Nonbinary, any pronouns

Karizaki-san is intersex and nonbinary and doesn't care to worry about gender roles or pronouns. He says worrying about that is too limiting and they want to dress how he wants and do what she wants.

Position(s): Kamen Rider Juuga, Rider Researcher, Equipment Development and Maintenance

As the creator of his team's Drivers and gear Karizaki-san spends a lot of time in the labs working on further developing and maintaining equipment for all of the KRDN. That said when he does make an appearance in the field don't underestimate him as Kamen Rider Juuga.

Species: Human

Sexuality and/or Romantic Interests: Omnisexual and Aromantic

Karizaki-san isn't looking for a relationship at the moment but wouldn't necessarily be against it if the right person asked.

Interview

So Karizaki-san, you approached me for this correct?

Yes I thought it might be fun and if not at least I got it out of the way.

Well I definitely appreciate it when people volunteer, it makes the job easier so thanks for that. Are you working on any cooperative projects with other members of R&D? I noticed you've been in the field less often even by your standards.

For a little while I was helping Kuroto take care of Nyelv's projects when he was in the hospital. Lately Philip and I have been spending time in the lab with the Alchemists learning everything we can about them.

Are there any members of R&D you work with more frequently or prefer to work with?

I like anyone who can match me in intelligence, curiosity, energy, and commitment to their work. So I tend to prefer working with Philip, Yuki, Houtaro, Akari, Nyelv, and Kuroto.

Now those last two are very controversial, you might get some push back from people for that. It doesn't bother you?

I really don’t care what people think of me or them, they're my friends it's simple as that. If people wanna come at me for that let them, maybe those two can catch a break.

Well said, Riders always stick by their friends right? Now then let's focus back on you, you were originally just a scientist a Fenix assisting Revi, Vice, Live, Evil, and later Jeanne correct? What made you decide to become Juuga?

Becoming Juuga was always my goal, I've always loved Kamen Riders and my dream was to become one and now I am.

If you love Riders that much working here must be a dream come true.

It certainly is, I never imagined I'd get to meet so many Riders, let alone befriend them. I tried to join the recruitment team but they said my enthusiasm might scare people off. I don't know I can't be worse than Kaguya can I?

Well since I'm the one who's supposed to be asking questions I'm going to pass on that one. What inspired you to become a scientist?

My father, we had a… rough we'll say, relationship at the end. Hiromi was right I should have said goodbye when I had the chance.

Sorry didn't mean to hit a sore spot why don't we move back to Kamen Riders. If you could meet any Rider who would it be?

Takashi Hongo, the original Kamen Rider, I'd love to meet him.

Maybe one day you will, you never know. In your submission for Pride month you said you were single for now. Care to elaborate on that?

All I'll say is I have a crush and they're definitely gonna be my partner, they just don't know it yet.

That sounds a bit ominous.

I just mean I've been told by someone I trust that they also have a crush on me. Once I make my move I'm confident they'll agree to go on a date with me. If not I'll leave them alone don't worry.

Ok fair enough, it looks like it's about time to wrap this up. Do you have anything you'd like to share?

If you ever need your gear looked at don't hesitate to pay me a visit, I'm always eager to look over a Rider's driver and gear.

I'm sure they'll bring you anything they need you to fix. Thank you for your time Karizaki-san, good luck with your research.

Thank you good luck on your next newsletter

Important Reminders

I've been asked to remind all of you to stop hesitating to call for back up. The amount of people ending up in the hospital because of it has become ridiculous. Akiko-san says people are going to start getting written up for not calling for backup if they end up in the hospital trying to go it alone. Exceptions will be made in cases of downed comms or an otherwise inability to call for help.

Announcments

The team leaders are discussing making Team Rogue their own team. Tsukasa has requested anyone who has input or an issue with that go to him, Akiko-san, or your team leader to discuss it. If you think Team Rogue should be a team let them know. I'm going to slip my own opinion in for just a second. As someone who knows all sorts of secrets about all of you, they have a bad history but so do some of you. They've worked hard and I think deserve to be treated as equals. I'll step off the soap box now just give any input you have regarding Team Rogue to them.

Gossip

I've heard that Daiki and Tsukasa have a private bet going on whether Daiki can go a week without stealing anything. If he succeeds Tsukasa has to go on a date with him. If he fails he has to do Tsukasa's overnight for a month. Karizaki says anyone who wants in on the action should go see him. He also said if it even looks like you're going to act like you did last time he'll give everyone their money back and cancel the whole thing. So good luck to Daiki and anyone who joins in on the fun.

What would you like people to know?

Being queer, regardless of your gender or sexuality, is backed by science. It's unfortunate there's so many bigots who couldn't get past third grade biology. Look at me I'm intersex and nonbinary by their logic I shouldn't exist.

What would you like people to know?

You have the right to be happy, don't let anyone take that away from you. Just keep fighting for your happiness and you'll find it eventually, I did.

[kamen-rider-dispatch-network]

Emu: Alright fine I'll talk to the team I just want it on record I disagree

Akiko: We need the teams to be able to work together I can't make them a team if no one wants to work with them.

Tsukasa: Nyelv said they all feel like nothing they do matters, it'll never be enough and you all don't really believe in redemption

Shoma: If he really feels that way then why stay? He's never been the type to do something he feels is pointless

Tsukasa: *gives him a death glare* Because it's not about any of you. They told me they've accepted that they will always be outcasts because of their past actions. So tell me why do any of you fight if you don't get rewarded? Your paychecks aren't based on your combat they're based on hours you're on call or doing work in the office. You don't get extra pay or benefits for it so why do it? A lot of you could find jobs that pay better too so why?

Gentaro: opens his mouth to speak

Tsukasa: Not you, you're not the problem

Philip: *goes to answer*

Tsukasa: Or you, I want one of the assholes who are bullying my team members or are in charge of the bullies

Shoma: *tenatively* Because it's the right thing to do, because we have the power to make a difference and save lives so it's our responsibility to use our powers for good.

Tsukasa: There's your answer, they're all trying to make up for what they've done. And thanks to you and your teams they're starting to believe they can't be redeemed. Yet they're still fighting and putting their lives on the line. My team are all heros at this point just like the rest of us and I expect you to treat them as such.

Akiko: Tsukasa move on I'm taking notes and will talk to HR about arranging meetings where necessary to hash all of this out

Emu: *whispering to himself* Great now the others are going to blame me when we get dragged into an HR meeting

Tsukasa: What was that? Something you wanna share with the class?

Emu: No

Tsukasa: Then keep your bitching to yourself

[kamen-rider-dispatch-network]

Hana: Hey Tamaki you ready to head home? *waves hand in front of his face* Hey you in there? Our shift is over let's go.

Tamaki: *shakes head* Sorry I was lost in thought

Daiki: *overhears them* About what?

Tamaki: *fidgeting nervously* Nothing it doesn't matter *jumps when Nyelv throws an arm around their shoulders*

Nyelv: Come on something is clearly bothering you, I admitted to my crush on Lakia. Tell us what's going on. *Sits on the couch and pulls Tamaki down next to him*

Heure: *wanders in with Ora and Lachesis* Everything ok?

Tamaki: *mumbling a bit* I was just thinking I don't really like being seen as a man

Nyelv: Oh is that it? All you had to do was say something, we're happy to call you by different pronous and a different name. What's your gender?

Tamaki: I've been doing some reading and I think neutrois fits best. I'd like to be a bit more feminine to balance out a bit and be more neutral. I don't mind my name but could you all maybe use they/them or she/her for me?

Lachesis: Absolutely, always or only with the team?

Tamaki: Only the team right now

Hana: You got it, now come on I'm starving let's grab dinner. Anyone else wanna come with us?

Ora: Are we going to karaoke after?

Hana: That's up to her *points to Tamaki*

Tamaki: Sure I'd like that

Team Rogue: *cheers and rushes to get their things together to leave*
