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.

Lightning. What about lightning? Who has storms in space that cause lightning? Or, maybe turnip is the right direction and we should really just yell out carrot when we really want to hoof it.
no subject
Or both! We can use lightning when we need a quick hop, skip, and a jump out of somewhere, and carrot when the situation is more "we're going to die if we don't move right this second." Yes?

[He points to his eyes and then points to her, a slight misuse of the hand gesture, but he likes it anyway.]
... Provided we get through this whole mess first. But that'll be fine. Especially now that we have our escape words in order.
[He hopes.]

[ She sees the gesture, quirks a confused brow at it, but doesn't say anything for now. Not the time to cross whatever weird gaps in culture they've got going on. ]
Just... I don't know, let's try and make this peaceful, huh?
