Tranquility, this is Jim Kirk.

Anyone injured or still suffering side effects from the fear gas should check in with medical. Scans are showing the gas is out of the ship's circulation now, but we can never be too careful. For anyone wondering, we do have a suspect in custody, but he's currently recovering from a high dosage of the toxin.

[he pauses, a clear indication that he's changing topics.]

We all knew we were being watched. Despite this recent information, nothing's really changed. Nevertheless I encourage everyone to stay alert and try not to travel alone. This thing is trying to make us nervous, lets try not to give it what it wants.



( Enterprise Crew, Re-l, Chase, John, Sherlock, Natasha, Kasumi, Dean || eta "Nick", Jack Harkness, Ianto, Magneto, Raven, Megamind, Roxanne, Tali, Hotspur, Isaac, Tony Stark, Aberdeen || flags to WARD and RESNIK )

[the filter is a simple one and used solely to make this post private from any civilian prying eyes. Jim knows it will be hacked, and he isn't about to toot his own horn publicly when people are panicking. he's flagged people both versed in this scientific bullshit and outside, because Jim knows as well as any that sometimes it takes an outside view to see outside the box.

just in case anyone hasn't spotted it yet, he fires off a LINK to the hidden documents, along with the translation, making it plain English instead of happy morse code.]

This isn't the first time this thing has mentioned me.

I'm not opening speculation about what the list means, we've got enough of that going on, but whatever this is has purposely left out the clues we need to figure it out. I think Chase has summed it up the best possible way: we're being laughed at.

I tried running another trace but the only thing I keep coming up with is static. Whatever this thing is, it's either part of the ship or has been here for a damn long time. It's coding is almost identical to the network's build.

Some things are easier said than done.

Repeat the words loud enough for long enough, and they'll come true?

THREADJACKING because i can. also, voice;

[oyster]

[ :| You're supposed to play nice, Hatter. ] At least he's doing what he can to help people.

What Hatter means, Jim, is that what you're suggesting is going to be a lot easier said than done, considering panic and nervousness are involuntary - and usually pretty common - responses, especially when many people are still on edge because of the whole being kidnapped thing.

your boyfriend is RUDE ALICE D< also swapping to voice

I'm aware, just as I know courage is a difficult thing to ask for in anyone who hasn't been trained for this kind of thing, but I'm encouraging it anyway.

HE'S NOT HER BOYFRIEND (yet) 8(

[oyster]

As long as you're aware. [ She's not going to discourage any of this, she just doesn't want people expecting others to go Above and Beyond if they can't handle it. ] Hopefully we have a lot of people on board that are stronger than they think.

yeah sure whatever

[goldshirt]

[its true he might be asking for the impossible, but Jim isn't someone to lay down and give up, so he's projecting it onto everyone else on the ship with the hope they can draw strength from it.]

I hope so too.

(nottalking)

[oyster]

[ Alice understands completely because she isn't that type, either. She also knows that telling people not to freak out can sometimes have the opposite effect, or no effect at all. ]

I'm Alice, by the way. [ Just plain Alice. ] I'm pretty new here, but if there's anything I can do to help with anything, let me know.

[goldshirt]

I'll keep that in mind.

[once he gets himself straightened out, that is.]

You're new?

[oyster]

Just showed up last... jump? That's what it's called, right?

[goldshirt]

You holding up alright?

[oyster]

For the most part. [ Though she'll never admit it, having Hatter around definitely helps. ] It's definitely taking some adjusting, but I think I'm managing pretty well, all things considered.

How long have you been here?

[goldshirt]

Six months, now.

[if there's a bit of weight to his voice, Jim doesn't notice it's there.]

[oyster]

Six months? [ Okay, give her a moment to process that. ] That's... [ She's not entirely sure she likes the idea of being here for that long. ] And you haven't had any luck in getting home?

[goldshirt]

Unfortunately.

[oyster]

Has anyone else?

RUDE BUT WITH A POINT also voice!

[teashop]

Speaking of courage, who's the suspect in custody?

[ no correlation but he'd like to know who it was who gassed him up thanks in advance for your help. ]

Jonathan Crane, --- » 003 » 038.

[teashop]

Thanks. [ pause. ] J... im.

What I'm here for.

SOB ALICE also switching to voice;

[ he was just saying okay he doesn't know if you've noticed but this is kind of not even a little bit where he wants to be right now! ]

I know he is, Alice, I'd just rather have all the—details.

[oyster]

[ Right, because Alice just loves being here. Come on, Hatter. ]

You could've just asked, you know, instead of picking apart what he was saying like that.

voice;

[teashop]

[ YEAH WELL. ]

I could've, but I didn't. Let's not argue semantics.

voice;

[oyster]

Give it a try next time, at least. It won't kill you.

voice;

[teashop]

[ you can almost hear the reluctant grin in his voice. ]

It might.

voice;

[oyster]

[ Score one for Alice. ]

It won't. [ Yeah, that's the best argument she's got for that. ]
