007 -- video.

[ jax is wearing his sweatshirt, hood tucked up around his neck and ears, wet hair tied up in a bun. he's missing his customary cigarette, though he looks like he could probably do with one as he settles back in the chair at the main gunnery console. his expression is tense, but he flashes a smile for the camera as he begins speaking. ]

So that was an interesting wake up call. Not the way I'd wanna do it, but I figure the longer I stay up here the less picky I get about dropping out of a fucking stasis tube.

[ no, that doesn't get any less weird to say, but jax is working on it. ]

Anyway, anyone who doesn't know, I'm Jax Teller. If you're Gunnery, check in after you towel off. If you wanna be Gunnery, come down and see me. You got another department in mind, speak up, and they'll snatch you up. If you're new and you just got questions, fire away. I don't promise I got all the answers, but I can probably point you in the direction of someone who does.

[ there's a pause, jax balancing the comm on his knee while he punches a few buttons, then settles back. ]

Anyway, anyone who wants to bend an ear about current events, come on by. I got nothing but time.

[ and a healthy distrust of talking about anything important on the network, but a little paranoia is excusable, right? ]

And Ilde, lemme know when you got a minute.

[ and casual disconnect is go. ]

[foundafamily]

Yes, sir. Still here, still in one piece.

[He's still a little green from the jump, so the joking tone is forced. Pretty obviously forced, but hey, he's trying.]

[kutte]

I gotta say, you've looked better. You good?

[foundafamily]

Gee, thanks, pal.

Yeah. It always goes away soon enough--nothin' for it except just to get right back to business.

[He's a little self-conscious about being messed up from the jump given that he's been here for so long, but it's a relatively recent development. Recent being since the incident with Engineering going all wonky.]

[kutte]

You wanna come down and give me a hand? Starting on some trouble-shooting, nothing too strenuous.

[foundafamily]

[He perks up at that. Having something to do is better than any medicine.]

Really? You bet! I can be there in just a sec.

...But, hey, there's not somethin' goin' on here, is there?

[What with the check-in and all. It doesn't seem like a bad idea, but Firo had to wonder what was up.]

[kutte]

Nothing but the usual, far as I can tell. No need for you to rush.

[ also because rushing might mean puking and no one wants that. ]

[foundafamily]

Thanks. But I don't need to not rush either.

[He's not even sure that made sense, but whatever. Words, man.

They seem to be thinking along the same lines because Firo adds, as comfort:]

Anyway, if I spill my gets everywhere I promise I'll clean it up.
