Given all that has happened lately, we need more help down in Shuttle Bay.
We currently have 5 shuttles properly running and we need more if we ever have to leave here.
So if you're interested in helping there let one of us know, we'll answer any questions you may have.

We're also looking for a few others who are willing to learn to fly – idiots need not apply.

[ Wait, something’s wrong. When you open the message to start your reply, it seems to glitch, and then Casey’s face appears on the screen. ]

Hah, got it. Now listen up, if you’re hearing this it’s because you’re about to throw in and offer your no doubt endless talents to a good cause down here in the shuttle bay. I thought it only fair to warn you that we don’t take nerds who can’t keep their mouths shut down here. [ No breaking Obi-Wan, okay? ] We want hard workers and only hard workers, because if the shit hits the fan you lot are going to be grateful that there’s a fleet of shuttles kept ship shape to save your sorry asses.

And if you want to learn to fly, you’d better have a good sense of direction and survival instinct, because with Captain Fry as your teacher you’re going to need it.

Casey out. [ The video feed crackles and is dead. ]

[ ooc: this is a basic call to arms from your lovely flight crew, and any questions your character may have will be answered from any one of them. Please sign up and join the team…they play poker, drink, bitch and get things done. ]

Let's not talk about Casey's balls.

[ He can hear you, Kara. ]

Wiring's on the fritz and the navigation keeps putting us too far to the East for some reason.

[ eh, that's never stopped her before and she sort of hopes he hears her.

but moving on (shuttle talk is more important than giving casey a hard time) ]

Just once, I'd frakken love to have one shuttle come together without some damn hang-up.

[ a beat ]

Think someone in engineering might be able to help?

It'd probably come together and then break apart while it was in flight.

[ optimism!!!!!! ]

Maybe. I hate pulling them off their work. Kaylee'd probably be more than happy to take a look at it, though, if I ask her.

That's what I'm figuring. We wont even make it to the next port if we have to cram all these folks in them with the way things are now.

[ which really sucks for whoever is the lucky ones that get to hop a ride with them ]

I say we check with her, she's the best chance we got for someone with some know-how.

[ she might think kaylee's a bit too perky, but even she will admit that she is a damn good grease-monkey ]

If there is a next port.

[ OPTIMISM!!!!!!!! ]

She won't complain, either.

[ Since. Well. Perky. ]

Navigation was always more Wash's expertise, but I gotta good nose for wiring!

Hopefully if we get the wiring sorted, nav will follow.

Yeah first thing I'll try re-routing the nav-sats, see if I can't get her up and running like that.

Come on by whenever, I'll show her to you.

You bet!

Even with the port, no idea if even that will be safe.

[ WOW THEY ARE BEST GROUP OF OPTIMISTS, EVER! ]

But yeah, if we can get her to take a look - maybe help show a some others a few things, we might be able to at least get another ship up and running before the next jump.

She's on it. Don't know who else in engineering I'd trust, to be honest, but we can't be that picky.

Good. [ which yes, gets a small grunt in approval from her. ]

Can't say I trust many. But Isaac does seem like he could be okay -- if we're really hard up.

Think I'd rather have him in Engineering in case something goes wrong.

[ Well. Goes wrong again. ]

Well...it seems like we will be getting a few more people to our fold, so at least that is something.

[ if they could cut it, well, that is something entirely up to debate. ]

I grabbed several during training, too.

Well it's a start.

Let's just hope they don't frak up.
