[hey everyone it's your favourite cocksure captain seated in his green Starfleet shirt to address you all]

To everyone still confused, welcome aboard the Tranquility, a colonization vessel located in an alternate universe to your own. My name is Jim Kirk and I'm sure I'm not the only person up here to wish we were meeting under better circumstances. As it stands, you'll be up here with us for a while, and because of that I highly recommend you stay informed. We've got plenty of reading material, but if you want a cliffnotes version, I'm happy to answer your questions.

[moving on, though, for the time being.]

Before the jump we discovered the genetics department. Passengers are not to go down there without clearance. The place is crawling with, for lack of a better word, monsters. These things are lethal. If you want some details as to what they'll do to you, I'm sure medical would be glad to give you the run down. For the time being, that area is considered off limits. Plans for clearing and extracting information from the department are already under way.

[even if Kirk isn't the captain, he says it as though there is no room for argument on this topic. Security plans on clearing out the monsters, if possible, and Cambridge has already made a call for those interested in information retrieval.]

Passengers should exercise caution when moving around the ship. Just last month we had an elevator malfunction that had people lost in the ship for at least a week. I can't stress enough that you need to keep in touch with one another, even if all you're doing is going to your department.

On that note, if you've just arrived and are looking to get involved, every department is looking for help. I head the Gunnery myself, and we're looking for individuals with previous weapons handling experience. If you're interested, give me a shout.


{ FILTERED TO ENGINEERING }
From what I gather, Isaac Clarke has gone missing as of the jump. [which he brings up because, up till now, Clarke was unofficially heading the department] Just checking to see how things are going down there.

{ PRIVATE TO TOPHER BRINK: KIRK ENCRYPTION 100% }
Brink, I need to speak with you regarding a patient that needs some tests run. Contact me when you've got a chance.

LMAO......,............

[he stares at this for a minute, and then starts laughing. it takes him a good five minutes, and he actually has to wipe his eyes when he calms down enough to type. of all the goddamn things to say, to have his work corrected— it's so Academy that if he doesn't laugh, he's sure his response would have been something a little more hysterical.]

At least I know you've read it. You're welcome.

And thanks, it's one of the few I've got from home.

SHE MADE ME DO IT i'm so sorry..........

[thoughts]

[ She appreciates the laugh, though, as she clicks through the other files and waits patiently. It's a good sound for you, Captain. ]

Looks better in gold. Do you know where the dinosaur came from?

oh my god i laughed so hard

[goldshirt]

I had one, but it went to a better cause.

[well technically it didn't have the same stripes as his own, so technically it belonged to a lower ranking officer than himself, so it wasn't really, but hey. semantics.]

She belongs to Ianto.

ahahaha most excellent. ♥

[thoughts]

Big damn hero.

[ She ! ]

Amiable to prospective riders?

[ River might be on the hunt for a mount. Robb already said no to the direwolves though. ]

[goldshirt]

I try.

You'd have to ask him about that, but I've never seen anyone do it successfully.

[thoughts]

Setting a precedence. A challenge.

[goldshirt]

Challenges are what I do best.

[thoughts]

Reigning champion. Make it a race. Do you have a mount?

[goldshirt]

Is one required?

[casually wondering if he can borrow Spock's sehlat...]

[thoughts]

[ borrow or appropriate. same thing. ]

Yes. Harness optional. Cowboy hat also optional but encouraged.

[goldshirt]

You drive a hard bargain, my friend.

[thoughts]

Gotta raise the stakes to make it worth the game, Captain.

[goldshirt]

I'm not one to back down from a challenge.

[thoughts]

Tipping an imaginary hat as we speak.

[goldshirt]

You got it.

Ianto is not stalking this whole post, except that he is

[coffeeking]

Maybe, if you're small enough. She'd have to get to know you first, and you'd probably have to catch her in a particular mood. Chocolate also helps. She has a preference for dark.

creepy creeper

[thoughts]

[ new favourite person ever? yes. sorry, simon.

okay, maybe after simon. ]

One hundred and sixty-five centimetres, forty-eight kilograms. Very attentive listener. Is there chocolate readily available onboard?

friendly, helpful creeper, okay

[coffeeking]

[Someone has to offset Simon's mothering tendencies.]

I wouldn't say it's readily available, but I've managed to scrounge some up. Could probably find some extra somewhere, or barter for it.

friendly neighbourhood creep :')

[thoughts]

Affirmative. Xièxiè, Ianto.

come ride his dinosaur

[coffeeking]

I'm usually in the gardens feeding her at oh-eight-hundred. Meet me there and I'll introduce you.

teach her gently ianto

[thoughts]

Yes, sir.
