ataraxion | 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.

[ 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. ]

[ She just grunts quietly at that, nodding. Well this is interesting. ]

Trace. And Kirk would be one to inform you of that.

[ he is the apparent welcoming committee after all. ]

Where you been this whole time, Colonel?

You'll have to give me a more specific timeline than that, Captain Thrace. I've been to several places this past year alone, though none of them have been anywhere off of Auldrant.

You were here - I remember damn well talking to you - you vanished and now you're back with no memories of being here. [ which yes, she does look oddly skeptical over. ]

Gotta wonder what the frak you've been doing and how you managed to get back home is all.

If I understood the why or how of it, Captain, rest assured that I would not keep that secret to myself. [He's learned his lesson from the last time he kept game-changing secrets. The ship really doesn't need a hole through its hull.]

If you don't mind, I'd also like to ask you a few questions regarding the last time I was aboard.

[ True. She's just more annoyed/frustrated/confused by this whole thing and still doesn't know what to make of this (or the ship) yet. ]

What do you want to know?

My previous identification number, if you happen to know it. I would also like to ask about the nature of our relationship the last time I was here - particularly about any work we may have collaborated on.

Furthermore, a list of other persons I previously affiliated myself with would be most helpful. I know that I am a private person, however, so I understand if you can't provide one.

[ Her brow arched at that, sending him a clearly questioning look for a moment, not sure exactly how to answer that. ]

I don't remember your number, but you showed up when I did - the third jump.

[ she does in fact remember his full number (003 >> 077) but she doesn't think it's wise to share that - the jump should be good enough she figures, so she just shrugs her shoulder, sighing ]

And aside from me, you talked to a handful of folks here - Kirk being one you found interesting.

[ what her definition of interesting is, well…that is up for debate. ]
