I knew I should have looked up 'reality shows' a few months back.

[ The man who appears on the screen is currently looking at what seems to be a little notepad before adding the word 'space' next to the words 'reality tv'. Really, he could have done this space setting if it included an inter-galactic war or helping planets in peril.

But in all honesty, Steve Rogers: entertainer has never been his career choice and it's not his forte, either. At least now the whole thing doesn't include singing and girls in scandalously short skirts. ]

My name is Steve Rogers, currently aboard the SS Pathstone. I've done a little bit of reading while aboard the Marsiva. I understand there are those who are trying to help the people on the moon we're visiting, if there is anything you need, I'd do whatever I can do to help.

[ you might catch a glimmer of red and blue and silver just behind him. A wink as the light hits metal ]

The same goes for going home. I imagine people have already looked into ways for us to leave this place. No one should be taken anywhere against their will. I'd like to hear about the information you have managed to collect and I'll do everything I can to make sure everyone will be able to go home safely.

[ you all get a little smile. he's so awkward at these things, can you tell by now. ]

I heard I've missed quite a party.

Enterprise.

[ it's a much better name than Tourist but Steve doesn't mention it. maybe it's best not to insult the people who named it on his first week.

maybe on the third one. ]

Thank you. It's good that you have some spare ones, I'll try to get a few for the ship I'm at, too.

_{[ It's okay Steve, he knows it sounds better. He is not in love with
his ship's name either. ]}

The basic ones are affordable and work, so if you're not worried about looks you should be able to snag a few. They're readily available on the surface at any number of merchants, so that can be our first stop since we don't know how we'll be feeling once we get back in.

Just as long as they work right, I don't mind what they look like.

[ the basic ones will always remind him of the war but it's a comparison he can live with. ]

I'll be right there.

Just message me when you get here. I'll let you in.

_{[ He ends the call and gets up to go get ready. By the time Steve arrives Kirk's dressed in jeans, strong boots, and his usual black shirt. He has a back-pack with containment baggies inside and his jacket for when they went planet-side and a pair of gloves. Never can take chances, especially with his own unpredictable allergies.

He'll let Steve in with a smile. ]}

Just let me grab some water for us and we can be on our way. Have you gotten a good debriefing of what this moon is like yet?

[ Steve himself is in similar gear, dall dark blues and black, shield strapped to his back. ]

Toxic. Breathing is only possible through the masks, water must not be approached or touched in any manner.

[ is he missing something, jim? ]

That's about it. I haven't come across much in the way of animals, but be prepared for that all the same. I would be cautious handling any flora as well - we don't know the extent that the toxins have changed them. Oh - and watch your step. We had a few people get stuck in a mine shaft not that long ago.

_{[ He motions for Steve to follow once he has the water, making for
their shuttle and settling comfortably into the pilots seat. He doesn't
have the augment for it, but the controls weren't terribly different from a
Fleet shuttle so he had learned quickly. And just like that they're on
their way. ]}

Mine shaft?

[ it can never be a simple walk through the woods, can it? he leans into his seat as the shuttle rises into air ]

I heard there was a sort of a greenhouse where the - party was. That must be how they also grow food.

Yeah, an abandoned mine shaft. Their communicator still worked, so we got them out, but they were still hurt pretty bad from the fall.

_{[ Don't be silly Steve. Men like themselves? That is not how their lives work. ]}

I personally didn't see any structure big enough to be growing food, but that's the most likely conclusion. What we were allowed to walk through was a museum of sorts, preserving original flora before it got twisted by the toxic gases.

We have to ask the natives to mark those areas. If one of their children fall it could take hours to find them without a comm.

[ safety first, and all o that ]

At least they have something left of the time before it all went wrong.

Generally, I think the natives avoid the forests. There's not much of a reason for them to go in, as far as I can tell. They can't eat anything from it, and none of the wood would be suitable for building.

_{[ But Steve was free to make a comment on it if he wanted. Kirk was
sure the natives knew about them. ]}

Very true. If we do find a solution, those specimens will likely be key in restoring the local ecosystems.
