captain's log | 17 | video | sweet jesus tl;dr
[the video clicks and Kirk is sitting at a table, it isn't his room, possibly one of the board rooms, and he's clad in the regulation greens of Starfleet.]
Tranquility, this is Jim Kirk.
For anyone joining us in the most recent jump that may have missed it, please take the time to read the FAQ that's been compiled. It will answer most of your more basic questions, and we highly encourage you to inform yourselves of your situation.
[and the following links will beep to life on everyone's screens:
I'd like to take this moment to repeat the necessity for all of us to work together. We are, effectively, the crew on board this vessel. A month before the first wave, the former crew manning the Tranquility disappeared without a trace with the exception of Captain Ward and Commander Resnik. We still have no explanation, which I know isn't what any of you want to hear. That being said, if any of you need help choosing a division, don't hesitate to ask.
I know many of you aren't from planets that've taken their first steps into space yet, and as such you're anxious. I also know some of you come from backgrounds that say you need to go it alone. I know plenty of you have no reason to trust any of us. But turning our backs on one another is not the way we're going to survive and make it home. This ship has the potential to be dangerous, as last month's unexplained fog can attest. If we can't take care of one another, if we can't support one another through crisis, we're only going to be hurting ourselves.
Working on a ship this size requires a different kind of mindset. I can't stop any of you from exploring on your own, or from extrapolating on potentially dangerous ideas [JAYE.], but I encourage you to do your research and do it as safely as you can. Every life on board is worth something. Don't put yourself needlessly in danger and don't do anything alone.
[he's been talking for a while, and though he isn't done Jim's attention moves and a moment later (invisible to most) an encryption pops up in his feed.]
{KIRK ENCRYPTION 100% :: exclude WARD & RESNIK}
If you discover something you believe could help our understanding of the ship or that might help us get home, we encourage you to share this information. However, do it discretely. There's a post that goes up every jump that is anonymous. This trend started when one of our number made a discovery and soon after, died on the ship. His death was never proven to be homicide, but it was suspicious enough to cause concern.
This ship has plenty of secrets. As individuals, we will never not be hiding something. There are people on board who get no bigger delight than stirring the pot. Don't encourage these people. If you're bored, there's more than enough to do without resorting to petty gossip. We have enough on our hands as it is.
{END ENCRYPTION}
On a lighter note, one of our number, Cameron Reese, has expressed interest in heading a competition, namely for firearms and archery. If any of you think this is up your alley, her contact number is 010 - 078.
Before that happens, though, I think we need to detail some rules for the firing range that was recently uncovered. These rules will be posted in the firing range. Anyone caught breaking them will be subject to disciplinary action by the Security team.
Kirk out.

Alright, I need you guys to put your heads together with me here. I'm sure you already know I've been vouching for one of our number who requires human "life force" to survive. What we've been doing has been working minimally, but we seriously need to start developing an alternative food source. This man has been living on less than half rations which isn't even acceptable treatment of a prisoner in Starfleet. He has knowledge that will help us get out of this mess, but he's not going to be able to do that if he's slowly starving to death.
Before we get started, an IV isn't going to work. Neither is changing his genetic make up. But I'm open to any other ideas, wild as they might sound.
ETA TEXT "Life force" is a euphemism for food and it refers to a complex chemical the wraith absorb from the body. It's the closest translation from the wraith language to English.
{OCTOBER BANTUM | PRIVATE}
I think I can swing a dinner tonight, if you're interested.

Hey, so if I came across some apple seeds, would I be able to grow a tree down there?

- If you have never shot a gun before do not come to the shooting range alone. Have someone with you to show you what to do.
- You may use your own weapons (including bow and arrow). If you don't have a firearm, talk to the Gunnery crew.
- If you are pregnant or believe you may be pregnant, you can not shoot on the range.
- If you have consumed any alcoholic beverages or have been using any other substances within the last 8 hours, you may not shoot on the range.
- If you intend to do bodily harm to yourself or others you are not permitted on the range.
- Targets will be mounted only on target frames provided.
- Firing at boxes cans or any other foreign object not previously approved is prohibited.
- Only shoot at the target in your lane.
- Only 2 shooters are permitted at one shooting station.
- Persons not shooting or coaching must remain behind the yellow line.
- All equipment in the shooting point left unattended is left at the owner’s expense
- You will shoot only down one firing line.
- Aim must be down range at all times.
- Never point at anything that you are not willing to see destroyed.
- Keep your finger off the trigger unless your sights are on the target and the weapon is level.
- Be sure of your target.
- Do not aim at another person. (Gunnery privileges may be revoked)
- Do not shoot another person (whether the weapon has stunning capabilities or not). (Gunnery privileges may be revoked)
- The shooters are responsible for cleaning up all empty cases or broken shafts and trash from their shooting position and directly behind it.
- Gunnery personnel may not always be present in the firing range. You are responsible for your own safety. If you have a problem, contact one of the Gunnery Crew or Security
Kirk out.
