text --> video (come fly with me)

[astrogate]

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. ]

Yeah, I picked up on that. I always thought it would be cool to meet my childhood heroes but frankly it's mostly terrifying. Omniscience is a horrible responsibility.

And surely you could've come up with another alternative. Johnny Rico, anybody?

I dunno, i would have said like james kirk but someone's larping him already. i mean dude, i was here on the third jump. i was so sure they'd have dropped the act by now.

it is.

[growling]

... yeah, pretty sure that's not a LARPer.

[ he's seen him in glorious HD, he's pretty convinced. ]

[unheroic]

oh you think this dude's soulbonded to kirk? i mean that could explain why he's kept up the charade so long?

[growling]

[ Wait is he messing with him now?? He actually... has no idea... ]

What the heck is a soulbond? Are you calling him Kirk-kin now?

[unheroic]

i mean that's the only explanation i can think of.

[growling]

Or, work with me here, he could actually be James Kirk.

You're telling me you haven't noticed this place has kind of an eclectic passenger list?
