A cry for help

[thespaceopera]

[a distress call has been tracked across the void, finally leading back to the source. a hulking crippled ship, teeming with hostile alien life, now lies before you.

what do you do? do you dive in or hang back? are you here to learn, play, build, or observe?

however you choose to proceed, your audience is out there somewhere, watching.]


ooc: here is a good ol' themed mingle to get you all started! and don't feel limited by the prompts and what they describe--they're just there as idea-starters, so feel free to go anywhere and do anything.

have fun!

[Oh. Hey. That's certainly her communicator going off.]

Oh! Yeah, that's me. You can call me Sheena if you want.

[She hops off the wall so that she can address him without distraction.]

Welcome aboard the Vanquish. I'm off ship right now, but if you need something I can make my way back.

Oh, no, that's okay. I think I can manage for myself here.

Now, did I get the wrong impression from picking through the messages going out right now, or are you guys actually fighting giant bugs?

[That should be harder to say, probably. Funny how zombies and all sorts of other supposedly-impossible stuff happening burns the incredulity right out of you.]

[fujibayashi]

Okay, let me know if you change your mind. I plan on coming back to make dinner at some point, anyway. [Gotta keep the little girl fed.]

Yup. Giant bugs. They're like ants, but they stand up.

It could be worse, though. They could be four foot tall wasps.

[survivalistcookbook]

Oh, I can tell this is going to be a blast.

[Said sotto voce, though enough to transmit over the communicator before he brings his voice back up to conversational volume.]

Really, you don't have to hurry back. I think I'm actually supposed to be cooking for you guys? I have a pretty good idea of what to do with this protein stuff . . . somehow. And, uh. They didn't exactly send me aboard with any weapons, so I'm probably not a great choice for the current fight.

[fujibayashi]

Really? [She's... actually somewhat excited.] I won't be the only one cooking anymore? That's great! I mean, assuming you want to, and that you're a decent cook, we could take turns. [Please don't be a Raine.]

Ah, yeah, about that. No one gets any weapons unless there's a security officer. And those... well, I don't know the first thing about guns. I don't like them. [She says this part firmly. She doesn't. Like. Guns. She was shot and almost died once, so yeah. Fuck guns.] If you want something else, you'll have to keep an eye out when we visit other planets and stuff.
