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 :) ]}

That's really impressive. [even if he already knew, he still sounds genuine because let's be real, it's super awesome] Have you seen a lot of planets and - would they be aliens or are there humans in other parts of space?

[universal_charm]

Aliens. Some species have humanoid structures like the Vulcan, but they aren't human. So far we haven't come across any genetically identical humans on other planets, but frankly I don't expect to.

Nor do I want to, honestly.

[beathach]

Why don't you want to, if I may ask?

[universal_charm]

Well, because to me that would make the universe less interesting to some extent. Every world is unique in its own way, so I like to hope that every world has evolved some other way from ourselves. To find another planet with genetically identical humanoids? It just seems a little boring, though I would hope that their culture is different from ours.

Plus, that makes humans a little less unique in the scheme of the universe. Which is really the more selfish reason.

[beathach]

That's . . . a really good answer. [a small smile] I don't think it's a selfish reason. Humans are pretty unique.

[universal_charm]

We are. But so is every other species. That's what I like about the universe, though. It would be boring if it was all the same.
