captain's log | 015 | voice

[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.

Are you going with crazy or impossible?

Well that's fantastic.

An engineer, but I can do most any science I'm called on.

Howard Stark. You?

One of them's my son. In the future.

[Or something like that.]</small. But not Captain of this boat, right?

That's what I hear. Can't even get the man to say howdy to the new passengers.

Quite painful, also. [yyyup....]

What are they exactly, these.. black holes? Why would their existence aboard this ship be impossible?

[processing that slowly and silently for a while. not just the words, but the rough recording of everything else that comes with speech. tone, inflection, emotion.

he keeps his own level and tries not to pry, though it seems he is doing so indirectly.]


Then the ones that were present on this ship-- are present.. they are capable of such things as well? Yet the vessel remains curiously undamaged by them, from what I gather. But will it remain thus indefinitely?

Why, then, have they not.. fizzled out yet? Perhaps they have been on this ship longer than we think.

And if they neither vanish nor enlarge? If they remain in those halls indefinitely, I think it unwise to leave the area open for exploration. [considering the damage they can do to someone.]
