Who: two nerds and you
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: now!

[ The audio comes on sharply, but everything is still dark as two people discuss their situation.]

Is that the camera? Can you get it to work?

I - think so? Here, push this --

I am pushing it, Hank. I thought you knew about these from that show you keep watching. Space Trek?

It's Star Trek and that isn't exactly - you know, the same thing as this.

Right. . . . Wait, I think I see something on the side.

[ And the video flickers on, the red light glowing softly. It focuses on two men. One in a wheelchair and the other right next to him, peering curiously at the camera before they step back satisfied. ]

Well, that’s over and done with. Hello to anyone who might be out there. My name is Charles Xavier and this is Hank McCoy. Apparently we’ve been kidnapped again, by an unknown force again for some mysterious reason.

[muttered:] Again. [and louder] So if anyone would be kind enough to explain exactly what's going on, we'd appreciate it. You have our thanks in advance.

But do keep it pertinent.

I'm almost afraid to ask what you originally pictured.

That's—. . . [that joke] . . . that's - yes. [oh my god is he dealing with someone who likes puns]

[digthefuzz]

...I always pegged the professor more of a- a 50s guy, you know?

[He grins obnoxiously.]

Ha! You get it? This is your first lesson, my grasshopper!

[beathach]

[he snorts]

That's accurate in some ways.

And yeah, I got it. You should consider it an advanced lesson, though - I've already been exposed to some pretty bad puns.

[digthefuzz]

I knew it!

Oh yeah? Well now that you know me, you'll only hear the best puns you could have hoped for!

[beathach]

Is there such a thing as "best" puns? Aren't they meant to be bad?

[digthefuzz]

Yeah, kinda... but in the best ways possible!

[beathach]

That's still to be seen.

[digthefuzz]

Rude! Well... You'll see it alright! Just you wait!

[beathach]

[he can't help it, he grins]

Now I'm worried.

[digthefuzz]

Come on, man! Have I ever steered you wrong? [Kurt, you've only known each other for like a minute.]

[beathach]

In the short amount of time we've known each other, no.

[digthefuzz]

Well... That means we're off to a good start! It'll only get better from here!

[beathach]

I'll take your word for it.
