[ wow that sure is a messy room you're looking at, jeeze. messy and dark- oh wait. the lights have turned on. why does everything have weird artificial blue lights? oh right, because this is the future and you're on a creepy spaceship. carry on then.

as it stands, the mess that you see- a jumble of cords, a few generators and collection of spare parts- is only a fraction of the room, as the feed is then lifted to rest upon the surface of a desk. Spock himself takes a seat before the camera, and behind him, a row of monitors, consoles, and chairs extend outward. while he doesn't appear outwardly fatigued, the creases in his shirt would indicate that he's been here.... awhile. ]


Greetings, Tranquility.

My apologies. I had intended to complete alterations to these quarters significantly earlier than this. It would appear that the nature of this ship compromises all intentions equally. Should the members of the Communications Department desire, some months prior this room had been utilized by several groups of passengers to develop their technical abilities. As many of these individuals are now absent, and others have satisfied their interest, I can think of no better purpose for it to serve.

You may find it located within the passenger quarters, where designation 001 has taken residence, and the facility will respond to the clearance your nanites allow. Admittedly, Communications are not my area of expertise, and as such, I anticipate you will make necessary adjustments as you see fit.

[ his attention moves off screen, where the faint sound of keys may be heard, before the lighting dims. systems set into standby. it looks almost like an afterthought when he speaks again. ]

In light of historical relevance, I find it pertinent to remind that our thirty day cycle is nearly complete, and as such, the Tranquility is due to experience another jump through space-time. To this I wish only to restate the importance of attending to your gravitational couch prior to it's activation.

[ his gaze flickers to the feed with what isn't quite a nod. ]
Spock out.








[ oocly; for those who haven't yet seen it, communications now has an official work station. if you have any questions, feel free to contact me via pm or plurk at starboardside :3 ]

Lookin' good down there, buddy.

[Kirk really. really.]

Are you going to surface from the depths of the machine for some lunch, now?

[he sees those creases!!]

[ YOU ARE THE SASSIEST CAPTAIN!!!!! ]

Shall I presume you have taken the liberty of preparing a meal for my person?

[goldshirt]

Come on, Spock, you know I can't make anything that isn't done on a grill.

[firstofficer]

Agreed. It would be a truly masterful Starship Captain that could compose a salad.

placeholder sob sorry

[signatures]

I suppose leftovers are better than what we've been operating out of.

ew gross no

[firstofficer]

Should I inquire after your previous facility?

[signatures]

Probably not. I don't want to have to tell you the story about the showers.

[firstofficer]

-Showers.

Adjustments as we see fit? Good, because some of those stations need some life on them.

[Guess who will decorate the place with Happy Meal toys? No, not really. But there will be candy. If she can find some.]

Is there anything else we're supposed to do during a jump?

[ hey, it's not like he's going to be working there.
go crazy, get pinatas. grab a ficus.

his hands lower, coming to rest delicately in his lap. ]

The gravitational chamber itself is most significant. Without stasis, upon the initiation of the jump drive, passengers would expire within seconds. [ welcome to spock 101. how do we nicely talk about the ways you can explode to death. a beat later, his head cants faintly to one side. ]

Many individuals experience extreme discomfort and dissociation after exiting the chamber. Should you benefit from them, it would not be unwise to procure pain medication to secure within your locker.

[Go wild? Well, now that she has the permission...]

I kinda got that bit from everybody else, thanks. [She's not too grateful about being reminded she can easily be turned into space chunks if she oversleeps.] Yeah, I remember feeling nauseous after I got out the first time.

How good are you about electrical cleanup?

[thenormalsquint]

The very best. Like no one ever was.

[Haaaaa]

[leaps]

Are you really going to let Kirk feed you?

[ SULU WORRIES FOR YOUR MORTALITY SPOCK. ]

[firstofficer]

I am a scientist, Lieutenant.

[ and risk turning into a radioactive space iguana? ]

[leaps]

You're a brave, brave man, sir.

[ please don't turn into an iguana spock sulu doens't even. ]

Do you have an antivenom handy?

[mingus]

[ OH he was sort of waiting for this great ]

Angela sort of told me about this? I was trying to get myself a position here, not sure if you're the guy to go to but...

[ A wave of his hand. ]

Anyway, where... is this place exactly? Can't get there on my own though I am not entirely above playing Marco Polo for it, I assure you.

[firstofficer]

[ a beat, and there is the faintest inclination of his head. ]

You cannot locate the facility unattended?

video; i am so late!!! MY APOLOGIES

[mingus]

[ He nods at that, pretty unperturbed. ]

Blind, y'see. New too! Came in on the last wave.

[doggedly]

Thanks for all that, but can I ask a question? Did you make that mess?

video|

[firstofficer]

[ oh you. ]

I presume there is a significance to your query?

video| & SORRY for the late tag wow ;;

[doggedly]

Yes, absolutely, great significance.

[And if that's not reason enough, he adds, helpfully:] It's just that I didn't know you could.

[cargojet]

Looks like a damn mess. But beggars can't be choosers.

[firstofficer]

[ WOW NATHAN. NOT EVEN A 'YOU TRIED' STAR? you wound him.



-slightly insecure vulcan? okay maybe. but only like, the smallest amount possible. ]

It was- a somewhat ambitious undertaking, with insufficient time. In the interest of function, I elected to forgo aesthetics.

[cargojet]

[ Socute. He makes a placating motion with his hands. ]

Hey, what you got finished looks great. That tangle of wires though--it looks like it mighta had the upper hand.
