captain's log | 007 | video

[the video, as per usual, clicks on to one dapper James T. Kirk. this time he's clothed differently, in a green shirt complete with Starfleet insignia.]

Welcome aboard the Tranquility everyone. To everyone new, we've got a few things that might be relevant to your interests available for transfer.

[and at the bottom of everybody's communicator who might tune into this post blink to life two links:]

If you've got any other questions feel free to ask around. Name's Jim Kirk.

[then he sobers, takes a breath before he goes on. a bit of grimness makes it's way into his face; because this is a life or death situation and it makes it into his tone.]

I do have a favor to call on, though. I asked for volunteers about a month ago in regards to one of our passenger's dietary needs. Anyone still interested, please let me know.

Hey, Cassie, right? We haven't formally met but I'm Kirk. Captain James T. Kirk, in my own universe. I was- [a pause] I knew Capa. We worked closely while he was aboard. I know you two were close and I just wanted you to know that- [he flashes a crooked, roguish sort of smile. it's less flirtatious and more acknowledgement of how awkward this is.] Well, you have a place with us when shit hits the fan

I want to direct everyone's attention to this. (LINK)

It's not the first or last odd thing I've seen pop up since our recent jump. Any ideas what it could mean or what the hell is going on? [beat.] No pun intended. I thought it was it was the ship but even Jack Harkness isn't acting like himself.

[this is his first time really reaching out to Tommy and Tillman, but Jim is going out on a ledge- or a hunch- here. he's been thinking about this for a while, and he figures it doesn't go over well with these guys it probably won't go over well with the rest of the security team that was supposed to be working the ship.]

In light of recent events I wanna know what you guys think of getting a proper security team going. With shifts.

It's about time you two came out of the woodwork.

I don't know if you noticed, but you had a mutiny on your hands last month. Wanna share why you didn't step in?

Or better yet, what the hell is on this ship with us?

[ There's a beat--a small, tiny pause--but Chase looks up and takes a deep breath. ]

I don't want to talk about it, sir. I'd rather talk about the problem on our hands.

[that's my girl, Chase, and if he'd been concerned he waves it off.]

Tell me your thoughts on this puzzle.

[ There's another pause--Chase is capping away on the tablet, pulling the file up again and staring at it for a few moments before slowly shaking her head. ]

I believe it's references to texts from their world. I'm afraid I don't understand it, but it's certainly code.

Yeah, it's text from my world, too. [he frowns.] Shakespeare and the Bible. References to the Divine Comedy.

I'm not so sure I'd be very good at this beyond what I've done, sir. Cultural context is...different. [ A frown. ] And difficult to ascertain.

[he exhales and nods] Thank you anyway, Chase.
