[Jim addresses the network with prim efficiency this jump. his voice, curiously, is devoid of most of the warmth and infectious rabel-rousing it normally has. instead, it's clipped and professional; the voice of a captain stating facts and orders. anyone who has been around a while will know that something is off, and as he goes on, it becomes clear why.]

Tranquility this is Jim Kirk. To anyone joining us, welcome, and to anyone returning, welcome back.

I know you all have questions. Myself and those who have been on board for a while will be happy to answer any that you have, but before doing so I'll clear some of the more obvious ones up.

You're on the space ship Tranquility, a colonization vessel in a parallel universe to your own. The year is 938 A.E., and presently, we have no way of returning anyone to their home continuum. We ask, instead, that you lend a hand in the running of the ship. This isn't mandatory, but we are all that's left of a crew. Even if you have no previous experience on a starship, we'll be able to find a place for you.

Attached to this broadcast is what we have of a map of the ship. It's a rough outline, as we've found corridors spontaneously change, commonly with each jump. I ask everyone to be cautious when moving about the ship, and to avoid engaging the entity commonly known as "Smiley" on board.

[here, the pauses briefly, the crux of his attitude coming to light.]

Presently, I'd like anyone with information on missing persons to come forward. Dean Winchester and Doctor Leonard McCoy have both disappeared from our number, and I have the feeling they aren't the only ones.

Kirk out.

I meant to contact you sooner, but I've got what you asked for from Strela.

[Kirk forgets that Godric can feel his heightened emotions. The steady voice is admirable, but hides nothing.]

I'm sorry. I know you'll miss him. Miss them both.

[Godric will too, if not so severely. He'd barely known the good doctor, but he had been frank and discreet and witty at times. Godric had trusted few in the medical bay with his secrets, but McCoy had been one of them.]

If I come to you, will you invite me in?

[Kirk remains silent through the compassion and is thankful that he didn't turn the video on. he feels uncannily like a child again, like when his mother went offworld the first time. when George said he was leaving. he doesn't realize he's shaking until he needs to speak again, and then he needs to try twice. I'm pretty busy is what he intends to say.]

If you're interested in watching me do paperwork. [is what he says instead.]
