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.

Hello, Captain. Welcome to Exsilium. We manage to make our own entertainment here, most of the time, but I'm afraid at the moment we have some bigger things to worry about.

I'm sorry, Captain, I haven't heard of anyone from Starfleet, but that doesn't mean it's not possible.

[ex_symbioses706]

Star...fleet?

( that's - an unfamiliar term, but there's something in it that's similar enough to make her hope )

[inthejunk]

Star fleet? Are you a space captain?

[Eeeeeeeeeee!]

[Long, long, long pause. And then the video feed flicks on showing a younger version of a familiar vulcan. But still not the right one. Poor Jim.]

Commander Spock, First officer of the USS Enterprise reporting. [And here he raises an eyebrow.] I request that you provide further identifying information. I have served under Captain Kirk for years. [The "And he is my friend" remains unspoken.] You are not he.

Fun isn't really too high on the agenda. I think the transport population singlehandedly started a thriving alcohol trade here, though.

[ I'm very sorry but he heard 'Captain' and 'fun' and that's it. ]

What most Captains do when they reach land is ta go whorin'. [ He snorts. Pause. Then- ] 'Least, far as I've 'eard.

"Fun" is a thing in short supply around here, man. I suggest makin' yer own.

Wouldn't mind finding out, considering I just got here myself.

Captain? Can you still be a captain when you now lack a ship?

[First thought: yeah sure, and he's the Queen of England. Second thought: Oh Jesus, it totally is. Oh my god play it cool, Cutter.]

Other than pints and a good brawl after? Not a hell of a lot, uh, Captain.

[Oh there it goes - the pitter patter of his nerd heart.]

[futurarex]

You're a captain.

[lovesgod]

I like to read and take long walks.

[claimyourself]

I haven't had a lot of fun here yet. My time's been spent worrying about the United Earth attacking us.

[She pauses, considering.]

But I was in a snowball fight one day.

[text / action?] ROOMMATE CHECKING IN B)

[scour]

[ ctsv's holed up in his room UNDER THE BED, ACTUALLY, though the glow of his tablet can be seen from the shadows. the door's open. he's currently got no idea that kirk is one of his roommates. ]

[She connects the face on the screen to the one she saw in her apartment earlier (before she'd prompty shut her bedroom door without so much as a hello; she's not used to sharing living space with strangers) and sort of stares at in bemusement for a moment before getting up to head to Kirk's room, where she knocks lightly on his door.

He seems reasonable enough from what she saw on the network, but she slips her right hand into the pocket of her jeans as she waits, holding onto the knife hidden there, just in case.]

[video]

[no_objections]

[Dear god finally, someone on the network who's obviously from space. The blonde teen greets Kirk with a lazy salute--the motion well-ingrained but not particularly enthusiastic/respectful.]

Samus Aran of the Galactic Federation. I pilot my own vessel, but I also serve under the Commander of the Federation Army Special Ops Battleship VIXIV IV.

[Or... at least she's pretty sure she does. Did.]

Can't say there's anything really fun to do around here.

Voice;

[wilder]

[Starfleet huh? He's heard that word somewhere else...oh yeah that elf in the weird clothing during the introduction party]

Fun? Well, unless you like to train or complain and theorize about the Initiative...there's not a whole lot.

[whatsupcroc]

Starfleet?

( Collette leans forward with a grin. )

Please tell me you're a kick-butt captain of an actual space ship with actual proof that humans do get up and take up space travel along with all the other sentient species capable of getting off world. Because that's awesome!

( SEE, ANDALITES, WE ARE SO COOL! )

[beforecommand]

[Her mouth is set in a serious line, but Shepard's not stressing out too much anymore at least in public.]

Sir! [The salute she snaps off is flawless, she's lived on ships all her life after all and some things just get absorbed along the way. What it's not is the typical salute of a freshly enlisted eighteen year old, which is exactly what she is right now.]

When I enlisted in the Alliance this wasn't exactly the service I had in mind, Captain.

[Her face is still serious, but there's some amusement in her eyes. She knows he's not actually her superior, since it's not like she's ever heard of Starfleet before. He's a Captain though and that had to mean something even if they weren't in the same force.]
