[ 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. ]

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.

[astrogate]

[ Ah, she gets what you're saying here, and it has her making a small sound in understanding at it. ]

How many of you all are truly out of your element being here? Obviously none of us asked to be here, so it'd be interesting to know just whose equipped for this sort of thing.

[sermonize]

Now that is a hit and miss. There are some that are at least qualified for the crew positions available. Then there are others who have never known anything beyond their own star system.

[astrogate]

Sort of interesting there - you’d think the ones that know a bit more, might be more willing to step up and lend a hand.

If this is actually a bunch of people thrown together from other worlds or whatever the frak it is, you'd think that there would be some attempt to gain some order here.

From what I'm noticing, it seems like there really isn't a clear plan of attack with anything here. [ Personal opinion of course, but she can't help but note it. ]


Where you from?

sorry about that. was away for the weekend

[sermonize]

Some have and others haven't.

[ he isn't kidding when he says it's a hit and miss.... ]

I do not believe that your observation are necessarily wrong either. Many here simply need to learn that the only way that we can help each other is to simply accept one another. Trust is imperative and, while giving it freely is undesired and understandably so, there is really little choice.

Now, Miss Starbuck, to answer your other question: I am from a planet called Alternia.

no sorries, i've been busy myself. HOPEFULLY you had a good weekend.

[astrogate]

[ She falls silent there a moment, her brow furrowing as she runs over a list of planets that she knows - Alternia wasn't one of them. (Yeah, she was still not use to that, but she wasn't about to question it. Just accept it and deal, right?) ] Can't say I've heard of it. Just like I assume you've never heard of Caprica. Big galaxy we live in apparently.

In my opinion, the need to show that there are true leaders willing to step up and find the answers would be nice though. Trust or not, seeing that they are there is more then needed. I assume the ones that appear to be in charge now, only seem to be this way due to when they arrived?

i did! 8)

[sermonize]

No, I cannot say that I have. Then again, if I am to believe the young ones, then we may not be from the same universe at all.

[ he pauses to think about the ones that have stepped forward. some he finds have experience. others just seem plain arrogant. ]

Not exactly, no. I believe the ones who have stepped forward have done so because they believe they are best suited to.

[astrogate]

[ She can get the whole universe thing and she can almost buy it actually - there are far too many people from a nonexistent Earth after all.

A small nod, and she is looking more curious then anything then, as she asks: ] What exactly do you mean by; they believe they are the best? Has there been any progress since they started taking charge? [ Because if they are only this far, she clearly thinks they are fraked. ]
