001: [ text | video ]

[ Not wanting to waste an opportunity, Kara quickly taps out a text, hoping to gain some form of communication with her ship. ]

[ Obviously she isn’t getting anything. So a few minutes later, the screen flickers on, and an obviously annoyed looking Kara Thrace is  seen looking into the device, before she finally asking: ]

Anyone know are coordinates? [ a beat ] Or what the frak is going on?

[ she leaves it at that of course, assuming people should know what she is looking for her. ]

Comments

TEXT TO AUDIO;

[widowing]

they can't hear you.

[ and then in audio: ]

We've all been pulled onto the ship somehow, but even the people in charge don't know what caused it. There are new arrivals with every warp jump.

audio

[astrogate]

I see that.

[ can you tell she is unamused here? because she is. :| ]

Who's in charge?

audio

[widowing]

[ sorry kara she is just. very matter-of-fact. ]

They go by Captain Ward and Acting Commander and Chief Engineer Resnik.

audio

[astrogate]

Ward and Resnik, what exactly are they the crew of?

audio

[widowing]

This ship, the Tranquility. But they don't seem to know much more than we do, as far as how we got here goes.

audio;

[rebelled]

[So, what does a cranky angel do when he's trapped in a galaxy far far away? It's time to actually check out this network thing. :|]

There is an explanation available if you are willing to forgo logic.

audio;

[astrogate]

Logic was thrown out the window the moment I arrived. [ yes, she sounds oh so pleased about that. :| ] So shoot, whatcha got?

audio;

[rebelled]

It has been stated that we are currently aboard a "spaceship" named "Tranquility" that exists in a future far ahead of our own, and that there is no way to return.

[Just be glad this isn't in person or there'd be actual airquotes to go along with that.]

audio;

[astrogate]

[ well that just gets a rueful laugh, letting out a long sigh at the end. ] Tranquility. Huh. Seems to be an odd name for this hellhole.

[ good thing she can't see you, or it would be obvious she would be giving you a look as well at this. ]

What the frak are you talking about? Where are you from?

audio;

[rebelled]

This isn't Hell. [And he sounds deadly serious when he says it.]

I was created in Heaven, though I was last on Earth before arriving here.

[sermonize]

Ah. I wonder if someone should be staying near where we awake on the ship.

[ hey, even he can get tired of hearing the same things over and over again. ]

[astrogate]

That a joke? [ Because clearly SHE ISN'T AMUSED. ]

[sermonize]

Not entirely.

[astrogate]

Explain then. I'm curious as to just what everyone seems to think is going on here.

[sermonize]

There are quite a few who make their first introduction to the rest of us calling for their friends and allies. It is understandable, but surely if those of us who have been here for some time were to attempt to explain the situation upon awakening, then the confusion would at least be cut in half.

The truth is, we do not truly know what is fully going on. We were told that the original crew disappeared in a jump and that we arrived.

[andblockbuster]

How's dialing the mothership going? [/silently fanboying and he only vaguely knows why, because that is how I deal with not breaking the fourth wall.]

[astrogate]

[ OH YOU'RE A FUNNY ONE! :| ] Fruitful. Would you like to see just how much? [ Because she can clearly show you just how much. :| ]


Take it you have nothing worth value to add here? [ Fanboy all you want Topher. She isn't beyond assuming you nuts. ]

[andblockbuster]

Only what five other people probably already explained, but I tell it in a more logical way that doesn't involve a three-hour tour to Alpha Centauri.

[astrogate]

Okay, let's try that then. [ Explain things please, Topher, SHE'S ALL EARS. ]

[audio]

[notmydiagnosis]

Frak?

[audio]

[astrogate]

Uh. Yeah.

Is that all you have to say?

[audio]

[notmydiagnosis]

Merely unfamiliar with the word.

[audio]

[astrogate]

And what might you be familiar with then?

[video]

[holeinmymind]

[Oh this is interesting. And frankly, Jeff can't help but to comment on this because that text looks an awful lot like a call sign, and well over all this seems like a lost pilot.

Even if they aren't from Earthforce, well it's something familiar.]

If you happen to find out that information, would you mind passing it on?

[video]

[astrogate]

[ A brow arched, giving the man a questioning look. ]

Depends - who are you?
