Captain's Log; 00.1 (video)

[captains]

[Getting here and being thrown right into the thick of things? It's kind of like hitting the ground running, and he's nothing if not good at acting on exactly what he's given. But, he thinks in some ways it's made processing everything that much harder.

Too much information, not enough context. It's not exactly a pleased expression he's wearing, but it's not hostile either]

This is Captain James Kirk, of the USS Enterprise. If any of my crew, or any other active member of Starfleet happen to be here, do me a favour and report in.

[He pauses to weigh his next words carefully. Considering the communication methods were given to him, he doesn't trust them to be secure from the people behind this whole thing. Anything he wants to say- It's either got to be coded or done in person. So he changes track entirely]

The rest of you? I wouldn't mind hearing about what you do for fun around here, or just about anything else about this place you can tell me. [Because you never put everything on the travel brochure for tourists, and he wants to know everything the higher ups aren't telling him. Everything that's only figured out with first hand experience and time.

A beat] You know what? Why don't my new roommates check in too.

Life isn't permanent. It changes, is born, dies. This mess is just the earth trying to heal itself after an attack on it's life. I like when it's cool and I like when it rains. Do I like nuclear winter results? No, but that wasn't the question, really.

[captains]

An individual life, maybe. But life as an encompassing, regenerative cycle- It can't survive without a sun. Not in any galactic system I've ever seen.

[The earth might as well not even bother to try and heal itself, if everything about it is going to become barren] Whoa- Wait. We've got nuclear winter here?

[And nobodies wearing a hazmat suit? What even]

[lovesgod]

Where do you think a diaster environment like this comes from?

[captains]

But all negative effects clear out in a couple hundred years.

[It just, looks gross after. Then again, this place, while it has certain technological advances- is severely lacking in the things that Kirk is used to. He shouldn't have been surprised] Just blame it on me being the new kid.

[lovesgod]

Sure, assuming something newly terrible doesn't happen.

Consider it blamed. Welcome. I hope sun is not a prerequisite to your enjoyment of your stay.
