Captain's Log 03 - Science!

Who: Jim Kirk & You
Broadcast: YES
Action: For the Tourist, sure
When: Now

Good day everyone, this is Jim Kirk speaking, of the Tourist. If I could have your attention for one moment -

I have a request - I'm looking for someone who is good with chemical analysis of biological materials. Namely flora from the moon. My ship isn't equipped for an analysis and I'll be the first to admit that such analysis has never been my forte. I would like a partner in figuring out what chemicals, exactly, have affected the planet. I believe this is one of the first steps in helping the people here recover.

Feel free to contact me on this line or come to the Tourist and request to see me.

Thank you for you time. Kirk out.

_{[ ooc: I have gotten permission from the mods for this as well what chemicals would be discovered from the flora Kirk has been collecting. If you are interested in the analyzing, I will happily share that information :) ]}

I'm familiar with the metric system. [He hadn't needed to use it in nearly 130 years, but he still remembered it.] I'll use that if I need to reference any measurements.

Excellent. Anything you have to share would be much appreciated.

Ah, I know I said it before, but I'm Jim Kirk. Nice to meet you, Mr....?

Just Vash is fine. Mister makes me feel old. [Besides, only two really called him that and one only used it in anger.]

Afraid I don't have much from what I've gathered from speaking with locals and from what I could see from the outside of the equipment. I'm not sure if that will really be enough to help this planet on its own.

_{[ Always better to start polite. ]}

Vash, then.

Not on its own, but I think if we all pool the information we have we'll get a clearer picture and a better idea of what to do. Any little bit of information helps and is welcome.

Seems like a good idea to me. Feel free to share the information I give you with anyone else.

Now I'm a pilot so I can bring this information to you if you'd like or are you on the planet at the moment?

I'm on my ship - the Tourist. Feel free to come on over.

[goldenglasses]

Alright. I'll be over in an hour or so.

[And sure enough he'll be over with a small stack of papers. Once Kirk has a chance to look though some is stories and information Vash has gotten about the terraforming from natives. Others will be figures on the terraforming equipment itself. Measurements and options he's ruled out or thought it could be listed out.

Vash himself is a fairly tall man, although looking taller than he is thanks to his upright hair style. Mostly made of arms and legs under his red coat and a smile on his face.]

Kirk, right? Hope this can help out some.

_{[ He offers for Vash to come inside as he looks over the papers he brings, also offering coffee while the machine was deciding to play nice. It was a temperamental thing. Kirk would need to think up new sweet words to whisper to it the next time it threw a fit. The man certainly is gangly, which is surprising, but let's be honest - he's seem stranger. ]}

It's great. Especially these figures on the equipment. I actually want to find a way in to get a closer look at them if we can. I have a hunch they might be a large cause of what's been happening to this moon.

[goldenglasses]

[Vash certainly won't say no to coffee. He always enjoyed the warmth in his hand and stomach.]

You and me both. The heart of any terraforming equipment is usually on the inside. Just looking on the outside won't always tell you much. Except there is something more on the inside. And the ones on this planet look like they could hold a lot on the inside. Or, are empty cases, but I don't think that's likely.

But it does look like these were designed to dig into the ground. [Which was a little different from the majority on his planet.]

[universal_charm]

True. I can't say if that's the cause, but it seems damn unlikely that the toxins and the fact those terraformers go into the earth is unrelated. Of course, even if we do figure out they are the cause, who knows if we can put a stop to it?

_{[ He shook his head. ]}

To many ifs. And I hate those. We'll just have to wait and see once we get inside.

[goldenglasses]

Hopefully they will let us in. There are a lot of smart scientists in this Fleet could really help this place, but I can understand them being hesitant. I mean, things have already gotten this bad, any worse and they may not be able to live here anymore.
