Captain's Log; 00.2 (text)

[captains]

We've got quite the revolving door around here, which means we don't always know who we've got, or what kind of special talents they have.

Right now, I've got a particular interest in telepathic abilities. People who can get in and out of a mind, without having to crack open a skull. I think there's a job you can do for me.

It's important. I understand if you feel hesitant outlying your abilities for everyone. You can comment anonymously, until you know what I need- and I'll be encrypting these.


[Encryption: Han Solo;]

Do me a favour. Keep an eye on this.


[ooc: all conversations as promised will be immediately individually encrypted, with an unnoticeable third party access]

Well you know, stuff like mind reading and telepathy was purely fictional where I'm from. And since everyone seems weirded out by stuff in my world because that's apparently fictional- it surprises me it's going the other way for once!

Text

[captains]

Fictional? Might just be that you haven't discovered it yet. A lot of people here are from- Backwater planets. And times.

Text

[wilder]

Wow. Bold words coming from a guy asking for a back-alley lobotomy.

Text

[captains]

What makes you think that's what I'm after?

Text

[wilder]

[Stab in the dark and it'd take a serious dumbass to be asking for this if it was about someone else's brain]

Oh, this and that.

Text

[captains]

To you they're fictional and that's the best you can come up with? Use some imagination. They're capable of a lot more. They're dangerous and nearly untraceable

Text

[wilder]

Alright, alright. I get your point.

Experiment to see if you can get off with just the brain alone?

Text

[captains]

[Yay for making people think he's into psychic terrorism just to hide a motive]

Nah, already been done.

Text

[wilder]

Really?

[a pause]

It any good?

Text

[captains]

It's a lot more direct. Can be an instant gratification sort of thing. A lot less touching, which isn't my kind of thing.

[But he'll do just about anything once- or, multiple times]

Text

[wilder]

[er that's the...spirit Kirk?]

Huh. Interesting. It does seem like it'd be lacking a lot of the fun.

Text

[captains]

If you like the thrill of a new thing- Try it.

Text

[wilder]

...Eh. I guess I'd try anything once at least.

Text

[captains]

Sounds like my kind of person. You are that, aren't you?

[Could be an alien, after all]

Text

[wilder]

A person?

Well, according to the current theory, I am.

Text

[captains]

And no one's done a thorough investigation?

Text

[wilder]

Oh. Several, actually.

Text

[captains]

Can't have been good, if they didn't reach a conclusion.

Text

[wilder]

Well what can you say? People are never sure what to do with someone who can set things on fire with their mind.

Text

[captains]

Sounds impressive.

Text

[wilder]

Sure saves on matches, yeah.
