text --> video (come fly with me)

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.

- Capt. K. Thrace (battlestar galactica)


[ 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. ]

Buzz Lightyear is less than a foot tall and made out of plastic.

A fake toy company, that's who.

Then again - if we're being picky, who has a robot sidekick named Lucifer?


[ no wait that's the wrong Battlestar Josh gj ]

[ If she says frak one more time he might faint. Kara Thrace is cussing at him in her nerd speak. ]

My guess would be an evil genius.

And my other guess is - someone who wanted very much to get a toy listed on the flight training roster.

[ There's an idea for the space lecture series: Earth Media and Pop Culture 101. Bet that wouldn't break any 4th walls. ]

Not going to argue with that. I'm sure you could get us back if you tried; just make up something outlandish but appropriately spacey, we'll fall for it every time.

[ Hey, he'll see what he can do. Connor will probably weep at the mere thought of it. ]

True. Maybe try to convince someone Vipers come equipped with toasters next to the flight panels.

[ Oh my god Kara Thrace is on his screen, act casual.

And oh, right. Wrong kind of toaster. Whoops. ]


What do I know about Vipers? [ Too much to be considered cool, probably. ] Nothing, just that they're... little... spaceships... [ Awkward lies, his specialty. ]

[ Wow so she really is that intimidating in real life, then. Good to know. ]

... because I've heard of them? You know, around the - water... cooler? [ Even more convincing? Also helpful to use colloquialisms she won't know, obviously. ]

[ he's made a huge mistake ]

Have you heard of Star Trek?

[ ........ well this is going to be really indirect. ]
