[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.

Probably would have told me I was being irresponsible.

[ might be for the best, because let's be real they'd probably kill each other back at home. ]

At the off chance I pull an Isaac, might not be bad to make a list of who this place goes to. In order.

[god that is the worst thing to say but, honestly, Kirk can appreciate a contingency plan.]

Do you want to draw one up?

[since Tony's down there and Kirk is not, it makes more sense to him]

[ look he just wants to have a backup plan! and considering how he's been playing games of losing everyone from home, well, you know what, he doesn't think it'd hurt. ]

Yeah, I'll do it. You've got to tell me if Sulu'd be willing to drop flight if I leave. Because he was Isaac's second-ish sort of thing, and the only reason I'm taking it now is I think I could build Fry a thousand robots and she'd still not like me taking Sulu unless I really had to.

[ Tony, important question, why have you thought about this. ]

[somehow he manages not to let the expaseration and concern over his helmsman filter into his expression. Sulu wasn't in Engineering, he shouldn't have been Isaac's second at all.]

I have no doubt he'd do it if it became necessary.

[ and Tony shouldn't pull shifts in science and on his off days go down the shuttle bay but sometimes you've gotta do what you've gotta do. alternatively, want to do. ]

If I leave it would be. [ there's a pause. ] I don't need to give the list to you, do I? I don't want to, because it's my list.

LMAO TONY...

You know what, as a sign of good faith, you can keep your list. As long as I know it's there?

[he lifts both hands, palms up. you can keep your list.]

But I would like to keep having updates about what goes on down there.

LOOK THE CONVERSATION WAS GETTING TOO CIVIL.

[starked]

I'll post it up and Sulu can tell you it's there. Alternatively, anyone can.

[ because man he's not pretending you aren't going to have someone telling you about his list is lame and stupid. ]

That I can do. Pepper will give them to you most of the time. Probably. She knows how mine would be. [ a beat. ] Don't mention her not having clearance. She has it because I said she does.

I wasn't going to. [because of all people, Kirk is probably the most lenient about any kind of procedure. as long as it works, he's fine with it. that, and he knows what their relationship is like.] I'll probably swing down and pick up a couple of shifts myself. If I keep staring at paperwork I might lose it.
