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. ]

Who the frak names a toy 'Buzz Lightyear'?

Then again - if we're being picky, who has a robot sidekick named Lucifer?
[ no wait that's the wrong Battlestar Josh gj ]
why didn't they bring him to BSG :C
[ aside from baltar, but sob, different timeline and she has no idea about that. ]
And who the frak thinks being a toy is funny?
idk it would've been glorious
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.

Well you folks back on Earth have some frakken ridiculous senses of humor.
[ Sorry she wont stop saying frak (it's like one of her favorite words) and she seriously now wonders if she could get someone to make up a cheat sheet for all the folks from space that don't get the earth things. ]

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.

Appropriately spacey?
No idea what you all would consider outlandish - we live in space and fight to survive - ain't nothing funny about that.

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

[ which only has her wondering and flipping on her feed to look into it with a questioning brow. ]
What do you know about Vipers?
[ because she sure hasn't told many about them ]

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. ]

Tell me whats on your mind, Josh. ] And you know this, how?

... 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. ]

No frakken clue what you mean there, but you might as well be honest with me.

Have you heard of Star Trek?
[ ........ well this is going to be really indirect. ]
