[ when the video feed comes into view it's not the usual dynamic gunnery duo presenting. chris argent is standing just within view, arms crossed in front of him. making announcements to groups isn't anything new to him, though it's never been on a spaceship or based off of information from long range sensors. it’s certainly never been about a stolen shuttle. (he’s slowly, but sure, accepting that his life is an episode of star trek.) ]

Gunnery's long range sensors picked up what looks to be a colony nearby. It's fairly large and inside of an asteroid field. But that's not the interesting part. [ he pauses, turning to look at anderson. ] Anderson.

[ she is standing next to him, hands clasped behind her back and shoulders straight as usual. ] Our sensors also indicate that the shuttle that left the Tranquility and was up until now unaccounted for [ not counting that one network post of singing ] is there. Its exact flight path is unknown, but it reached the colony without any damage, as far as we can tell.

[ the implication being, obviously, that it may well be possible for other shuttles to replicate the result and make it to the colony as well. ]


( ooc: this lovely shade of pink is anderson. dark blue for chris. general discussion/threadjacking/etc encouraged! )

Arima. That's all I needed to hear. Can provide coordinates?

[deagle]

[ the coordinates get attached to the beginning of the message. ]

Should that name ring a bell?

Captain Laurens provided it, told us it was where the people who took the shuttle had gone to, and that the reason the sensors were locking us out was they didn't want us knowing the place was there. Seeing as it'd much rather keep us. Recurring theme.

Is that what it's called?

It's a pirate den of some kind; Laurens knew it well, but he's dead now.

I have no idea about our trajectory, but I imagine we're programmed into some sort of fly-past. Laurens made it seem like the Tranquility wouldn't be safe here, and he said 'opportunity is a closing door'.

How can he be dead and on the network? I heard him sing.

Time to get the shuttle back.

[mindtricks]

What's your plan?

video;

[suddenlycaptain]

Take a shuttle, take whoever wants to go over. Poke around. Get the shuttle back, if possible. If not...

[ Shrug. ]

If not, we try to get other useful things. Information. Supplies. Maybe a few people have had enough and want to stay there.

Be careful.

[oh thank god something new on the horizon that isn't arthur whining about gwen being gone]

A colony? Do you suppose we'd be able to have a walkabout?

[please oh please merlin is about ready to lose arthur in the hallways on purpose]

[mindtricks]

I don't know whether that will be safe. Possibly.

video;

[born_this_way]

Not safe? Do you think they'll be unfriendly?

video;

[mindtricks]

They might be.

[gothchicklit]

Have you guys figured out who took the shuttle, or how the hell it got stolen to begin with? [ Shouldn't you people keep an eye on this shit? ]

[mindtricks]

Just that it's there.

[gothchicklit]

[ She frowns a little. ] I guess location's better than nothing, right? It means it's not technically lost anymore.

GUNNERY FILTER? ACTION SPAM? EITHER.

[kutte]

Anyone talking about heading down?

[ because that's where jax's head is at. colony means useful shit, means stretching his legs, means maybe a place to find bullets. which he desperately needs. ]

[mindtricks]

I don't know yet.

( anderson usually verges on the side of caution. it isn't different now. )

[kutte]

I'm going to head down.

[ decisive, though he isn't even sure he has a ride yet. ]

There might be some useful shit. If I can come back with bullets, it wouldn't be a complete waste.
