[Jim's in engineering, you can see the room behind where he sits. he looks a little tired, but his eyes are as bright as ever as he looks into the camera.]

Hey all, Kirk here.

We've been up here for about a week, ship's time, which probably seems like forever and no time at all for most of you. Trust me when I say that probably won't change much. I know a lot of you are still panicking, but we need to keep in mind that the only way we're going to get out of this situation safely is by staying calm.

Anyone still adjusting to their human body should remember to stop by medical. A week is more than long enough to mess yourself up, even if you know what you're doing. [his tone says, trust me, i've been there.]

If the internal clock is anything to go by, we'll arrive at Tansei Station in about 12 days. I know we don't have much with us, but if you're thinking you need something, you might want to consider what you can barter when we get there. There's no telling when our next chance at shore leave will happen again.

[here, Jim glances away, keying something in, and anyone who expressed interest to Resnik and Ward in their broadcast concerning data collection will get a ping before he goes on.]

I've managed to get the chronometer back online, but she won't give me anything outside of a 24 hour count. [so no stardates or the equivalent thereof.] I've been trying to pull up a map of this place for the passed 78 hours but it's like the damn thing never existed in the first place. I'm starting to wonder if a blueprint was even put in the databanks.

Spock, status report. How's that list of personnel coming?



> to: $scienceAteam | text | encryption 100%

Hey guys, anyone have updates on that theory we had going?
Or an idea of how to get some private communication set up? I don't know about you, but I'm starting to doubt how safe these encryptions are if the computer system is smiling at our resident technopaths.

<sub>[ Your glorious, amazing voice will get America's attention, and he finally responds. He's somewhere in a corridor somewhere, all in his jumpsuit, with his little alien dude by him but out of the camera view cause he's short.
SHORT LIKE E.T KIND OF SHORT.

He's always happy to see you. You're his hero but he's too prideful to admit that BECAUSE GDMT HE'S EVERYONE'S HERO. Anyway... ]</sub>

HOLY SHIT IT'S KIRK; FINALLY TALKING TO US ALL, MAN. How's it HANGING THERE, DUDE?
RIGHT. I'm sure you're fan-fucking-tastic, my main man. Did you say Tansei Station? Like some kind of pit stop? THIS THING IS ACTUALLY STOPPING?

Hey Alfred.

Yep. Even in the future we need to gas up.

I'm willing to offer my assistance if anyone is still having trouble adjusting to being human.

[Even though he appears to be less than thrilled by the idea, look who's offering to be useful!]

[well that's a pleasant surprise. he didn't take you for the teamwork type.]

I take it you're adjusting well enough?

Action

[gofortheoptics]

[She recognizes Commander-like behaviour when she sees it -- she's been on enough ships to know someone who's used to being in charge.]

[This is fine, though. Ward doesn't exactly seem like the position is ... suited to him.]

[She's walking down to the end of Engineering she can see in the background of his video, boots clicking on the floor. It's not long before Jim is face-to-mask with a petite quarian.]

People should have things in their personal lockers to trade. Whether they'll want to trade them or not is another matter entirely, of course.

[he swivels in the chair of the makeshift work area he's pulled together for himself; looking up at his new company. he's not surprised- it isn't like engineering is exactly abandoned most of the time.

despite himself, his gaze breifly darts the length of her outfit.]

It's still something to think about.

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

[ Guilty chase is guilty, and it shows on her face even though she presses onwards: ]

Tansei station.

What value will our goods have to them? Have you been informed?

[in-three.livejournal.com]

[he shakes his head.]

I haven't. But one man's trash is another man's treasure, regardless of where you are.

Does it count if we went to Doctor Watson? Because I did. And--and I'm not going back, thanks. Definitely going to pass on that for the...for the rest of--for a while.

He's probably just got a lot on his hands.

Why, did something happen?

Is your request for private communication specific to the designs of our provided devices or do you intend to attempt synchronization of the technology from our varying continuums?

>to: kirk | private | encrypted
There has been significant reticence expressed in volunteering information of that nature. I have, in the interim, resorted to other-

alternatives.

voice; science team | encrypted

[in-three.livejournal.com]

Either. Whatever works.

[awakenings]

Ever wonder if those maps were maybe corrupted on purpose so that something would eat the file out of the system? I've been mulling over the idea that some foul play might have occurred prior to our arrival.

voice;

[in-three.livejournal.com]

It's possible.

I couldn't find anything resembling a virus in there, but it's not unlike navigating an asteroid belt so I could have missed it.

What lead you to that conclusion?

[anomalyse.livejournal.com]

I've been looking at the network proper, and there's no way we'll be able to set up a subnetwork for communication without tapping into the ship's natural frequencies. So I dunno if this is hackable, but I've boosted it with a rotating encryption, for what it's worth.

Neither of the crew seem like techie types, if you catch my drift. I mean, Resnik's good with machines, but I'm not sure she's into the whole hacking thing. Could be wrong. But that's what I'm feeling.

[ Just. Euuugh, being watched. Worst feeling. Being smiled at? Even worse. ]

We can either meet in person, or keep using encryptions. What do you guys think?

[ SCIENCE TEAM ][ voice ][ encryption 100% ]

[in-three.livejournal.com]

Damn. [it's understandable but it sucks, Jim prefers private communication that's why they always have their communicators offworld.]

You might be surprised by what people have for hidden talents, but I think you're right. I don't know if they'd trust us to enlist our help with messing in the databanks if they couldn't already do it themselves.

[ Resnik seems more tired than usual, and there's a healthier helping of oil splattered on her arms and face. Looks like she's been burying herself in the engines. If you look behind her, you'll see her surroundings are not engineering, but the vague, damp crawlspaces near the aux thrusters; it's dark, but you can make out a pile of tools next to her.

She wipes the sweat from her forehead, leaving a streak of black near her right eyebrow. ]

Good work. As for the blueprints—I know they're there. I've worked from them before.

[in-three.livejournal.com]

Are you sure?

[Jim responds promptly, but his gaze lingers on the grease on her skin, darts to take in her darkened surroundings. it looked like a Jefferies tube- what was she doing? aside from looking like she'd just climbed out from under the hood of one of the old antiques he used to work on which was, admittedly, hot.]

I know someone said this stuff could be recovered if it had been deleted, but if this was a virus, it might be corrupted passed saving, Commander.

By theory, you're referring to the everyone is fictional one, yes? I'd suggest roping in the people who seem most versed in popular 'culture' putting them in a situation where they all have to interact.

Like trapping them in the media library and observing them from a one way glass.

I'm with Sherlock. We're operating at a gross disadvantage, given that it's an obvious blindspot for most of us.

We should run a tally. [ A beat. ] I volunteer America.

[wiener-bonbons.livejournal.com]

[Roderich sounds as if he's been suddenly allowed to breathe fully after not being able to for quite a while. Always a comfort when someone at least sounds like they know what they're talking about.]

Bartering? I'm suddenly glad I happen to have this empty brass cigarette case on me. What kind of things do you believe will be available? Are there usually stores at these places, or would we simply be haggling with random locals?

[Little thoughtful noise.] Never willing to part with my violin, but do you think I could perform for tips?

... Do people still do that?

[voice]

[in-three.livejournal.com]

People still appreciate music, no matter where you go.

[slightly amused.]

I don't know what the station will be like, but it's better to be prepared. I've heard them range between shopping galas to gas stations.

I don't have much I'm willing to part with.

There is- [ the hesitation is brief, but this particular brand has been absent from his voice until now. it isn't an easy subject to address, and he isn't one to theorize before evidence has been submitted. however-]

one more potentiality I believe we should discuss.

Thanks for the mention in regards to medical. It's been damnably busy trying to sort through everything and speak with the other medics on board. I'm afraid I haven't had the opportunity to breach far beyond matters outside of the clinic, but Sherlock is keeping me mostly up to date. [ He's not going to mention the fictional thing if you don't... ] And really, he's the best sort of help you're going to be able to get between the two of us, I'd imagine.

Is there anything that you need me to look out for or do? I'll be calling in for medical information and helping the other two on staff get more acquainted with treating humans. That will probably last for the next few days, I'm sure, but if there's anything you need from me, I'll make plans to see it done.

audio; private

[in-three.livejournal.com]

There really are only three of you? [he exhales, and can't quite keep the tension out of his voice.] I know it's not ideal, but rounding up more help down there might be a good idea, when you have time. Anyone willing to volunteer.

[a beat.] There's speculation that we might not be the only batch of refugees that will hit these decks.

[He might have only just come to terms with exactly who his new friend is, but that's something that has been sidelined because even Dean knows there are more important things to be worried about.

There's a nod of greeting as he responds, almost like a half-promise that he's going to stay reasonably serious this time and not reference stupid crap like LARPing... maybe for now, anyway.]

How safe's this Tansei place? We got small kids and people who aren't that familiar with defending themselves against monsters that want to eat them. We gonna need to set up some kinda security?

video;

[in-three.livejournal.com]

I'll get back to you on that one, but a security detail might not be a bad idea.

[if not because they'll get eaten, then because they'll run amok and push a button they aren't supposed to be pushing.]
