Who goes there?
[After weeks of relative silence, our intrepid passengers finally travel within visual range of a blue planet. Marsiva's slow-and-steady course makes it clear that this is the Drift Fleet's next destination--but just as your ships come within scanning range and your computers begin to gather data, a fleet of quick little watchdog ships zip out of the planet's atmosphere, heading straight for you!
They do not swoop in for an attack, but hold their positions between you and the planet. They look close enough to cause some trouble, and any working Communications Officer can tell you that they have weapons locked on the Fleet in warning.
The tell-tale sound of an incoming hailing frequency chimes over your ship's alert system. Someone would like you to pick up the phone. Thanks to their augment, all passengers instinctively know that they'll be looking for the Captain or the Communications Officer of the ship--but no one says someone else can't pick it up first.
On the bridge, the hailing frequency can be viewed on screen, along with the attached subject: "Identify yourselves." The notification chime goes off every seven seconds. These ships don't look like they're going anywhere, but they don't want to be kept waiting, either.
What do you do? Will you accept the frequency?]
ooc → see the July Star System post for details about this event! there is no real rush in this post (we won't even be around to begin responding to it until Sunday afternoon), so take your time, feel free to tag each other in this post (maybe try to get your Comms officers off their asses), and there is no time too late to tag into this post. the element of urgency is all IC, and there is no OOC pressure at all.

If you aren't part of the show, I suggest you leave quickly before you end up like us.
no subject
[because the only part that made sense out of all of that, was some of that last bit.]
Explain your intent concisely, including why you have a Nunnilis ship drifting silent in your company.
no subject
I just told you, we're hostages.
no subject
And is the Nunnilis ship a hostage as well?
no subject
no subject
[this woman had sounded irritable before, but this is shock--turning quickly to indignation.]
Are you saying that ship is infected? We cannot let you into our airspace with a diseased vessel in tow!
no subject
no subject
I, uh... Please hold, Caprine.

no subject
Caprine, may I please speak with your ranked captain?
no subject
no subject
This is the captain.
no subject
Thank you, Captain. I want to make it clear that we cannot allow your ship to dock in our ports if there is a risk of spreading infection. If what your... Cook... Says is true, our islands are already trying to combat a similar disease in our native Nunnilis population.
Can you provide any documentation of your ship's status, or the status of that ship behind you? Any personal insight you can give would also be appreciated.
[...she may be hoping that the Captain has something more constructive to say than what they've been given so far.]
no subject
I can send you documentation, but I couldn't vouch for its reliability. We're all captives here. Did she explain to you about Atroma?
no subject
Reliable or not, I am legally obligated to obtain some sort of record before we can proceed. A simple diagnostic report from your ship would be acceptable.
no subject
It's not a terrifically complicated story. We've all been kidnapped and we can't escape, or direct our flight pattern much.
no subject
You... Seem to be doing well, for a kidnapped crew.
