[good morning Tranquility!]

Anyone planning on joining us for our little jaunt to Strela should arrive at the shuttles at least fifteen minutes early. [it won't mean death if you don't, but it will mean you'll miss the ride.] Pilots, earlier than that, but try to keep the bloodshed over who gets to drive to a minimum. [you can hear the grin in his voice.]

I know a lot of us, including myself, will be happy to get off the ship for a while, but remember that we're still in foreign space. We'll be guests on this station so we should try to be minding our manners.

[still, and this is the point of this broadcast:] Stay in contact with one another and try not to wander off on your own. [a beat.] And if you do bring your weapons, try not to flash them around. Most places don't take to that kindly, regardless of what part of space you're in.


Kirk out.

[ this is a big sad frown from a tiny teenager. she's also holding a large, solid gold, double-ended trident. ]

What if it's kind of hard not to flash our weapon around?

[redhotsummers]

[Okay, Alex may just be trying to be a dick now.]

What if we are a weapon?

[Smirk. Sorry Kirk.]

[There's a slight buzz underlying the connection as interference picks up slightly. ]

And don't talk to strangers and make sure to brush your teeth every night. Got it.

[that's- yeah that's pretty impressive. Jim looks bemused.]

Then you should expect a reaction from the locals. There are some stations that don't allow weapons passed the door.

[have a look that says seriously, Alex? come on.]

[goldshirt]

Hey, you never know what you might come across up here.

[pizzalord]

Besides the potential aliens?

voice;

[goldshirt]

That's a start.

[notpanicking]

Any other sage words of wisdom, Captain?

I'll just say that it isn't a weapon, then! Maybe I can't walk without it. [ a giggle. ] I guess if I don't go prodding at anyone, it shouldn't be too much trouble! Do we know anything about the locals, though? I mean, are they going to flip out about an alien with a trident or just stare a lot?

[counselling]

I would urge caution until we know the situation. [ Someone's not taking Wardnik's 'friendly alliance' thing for truth. Yet ]

[leaps]

I'm calling dibs. I am calling dibs, sir.

[ OH MY GOD SULU IS DRIVING EVERYONE STEP BACK. ]

[redhotsummers]

What--I'm just speaking the truth.

[Come on, he knows it's serious. But a little joke never hurt anyone, Kirk.]

[gofortheoptics]

I agree. Stay alert, and stay together if at all possible.

[Also: bring a gun.]

The captain and first officer haven't been very forthcoming about it, to be honest.

[he laughs and shakes his head.]

As long as you don't go blowing holes in the hull I'm sure you'll be fine, Alex.

[goldshirt]

Keep all arms and legs in the vehicle at all times.

[goldshirt]

[at least he doesn't need to worry about you guys]

I trust you two will help spread the word?

[notpanicking]

Yes Sir.

[you can hear his grin.]

I wouldn't expect anything less from Starfleet's finest.

[and you are starfleet's finest according to jim tyvm]

[gofortheoptics]

[This isn't her first rodeo, Kirk!]

I'll do what I can.

voice;

[invalided]

Take no chances, yeah? [ I do hereby swear to attempt to wrangle whatever Sherlock falls within my line of vision. ]

voice; I will just throw everyone at you

[lifeinplastic]

Don't wander off, that's a good rule. Probably the best rule to have, actually. [ 100 percent legitimate sentiment. He knows what happens when it's a rule and it gets broken. Lots of running and potential death. ]

[darkholme]

[ did Alex just... make a joke?! okay no she can't pass this up ]

You know, I was wondering what I'm supposed to do with these guns.

[ you bet your sweet butt Raven's flexing right now. and trying so hard not to laugh it's likely making her look manic ]

[Jim barks a laugh, regardless of whether or not she's talking to him.]
