Captain's Log 03 - Science!

[universal_charm]

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 :) ]}

Definitely Hank.

[intelligently]

How many samples do you have?

[tallasaking]

I am afraid I have absolutely no idea how to analyze those samples my friend - but do let me know what you find. I might be able to come up with a counter system based on your research.

Re: voice.

[universal_charm]

Quite a few. I wanted a good range of the visible flora I came across in the forests.

[geonomy]

I've done some chemistry, but it isn't part of my field. I'm in the astronomy area, but I've been trying to research the moon and figure out how to help the people recover as well.

Would you mind me coming over and seeing what you find? I've made some findings as well, and I think if we work together on this, we can really help these people out.

[wait did he say his name was Jim Kirk.

As in - wait no surely it's just coincidence. That's all it is, stop being a nerd, Hank]

Biochemistry is one of my fields of study. I'd be happy to help - I've been looking at the chemicals in the plant life, too.

_{[ He turns to look back at her, having made the announcement from his room, but he had left the door open. Not like there were many other places to hang out on their tiny ship. ]}

Hank? As in your boyfriend?

[takingkarabusiness]

Definitely not my boyfriend.

_{[ He would say he's surprised someone from a less advanced world than his own would know much about chemicals, but he remembered Tyrion was reading about physics earlier and decided underestimating him was a bad idea. ]}

I'll be sure to share what results I find. Helping these people isn't about glory - it's about getting this moon back to a healthy state, and thus the people. More heads that can help to clear things the better.

[universal_charm]

Oh? I thought you two were a thing.

_{[ Weren't they just a thing at the party? He was sure she was with someone. ]}

[takingkarabusiness]

We were... maybe headed that way, but things got complicated. It's for the best, anyway, probably.

[universal_charm]

No, of course not. If anyone can find a good solution based on the results, I think it's worth a shot. More heads the better for this sort of thing, I think. Several plans of action for the people to pursue after we leave might not be a bad idea.

[universal_charm]

_{[ Yes, yes he did Hank. And he is the one you're thinking about. Didn't Kara tell you? ]}

Really? Excellent. I have a large array of samples from my treks in the woods. I think thorough chemical analysis of them and even genetic if we can get it would go a long ways in figuring out how to help this place mend.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He arched a brow. ]}

Complicated, huh?

_{[ See, this is why he doesn't like relationships. Complicated. ]}

You don't sound so certain.

[takingkarabusiness]

His ex showed up and he still has feelings for her. It's no one's fault.

[universal_charm]

No, I suppose not. Hmm, well, I'm sorry. Breakups are never easy.

_{[ Sure he's never had an official one, per say, but there's been a couple that have come close. Kind of. ]}

[beathach]

[but you don't look a thing like Shatner??]

You're definitely on the right track, and - genetics is my other field, so. [he's so modest]

[takingkarabusiness]

You can't break something up that wasn't really made.

Anyway, he's a good guy, and a great geneticist. I'm sure he'll have valuable experience to add.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He's prettier. ]}

Well, looks like you're just the guy I need.

What did you say your name was?

[universal_charm]

Anything would be helpful, so I'll be sure to look him up. Kitty suggested someone named Vision too. You met him?

[beathach]

[well yes but]

Ah - it's Hank McCoy. And you're Jim, right? It's nice to meet you.

[takingkarabusiness]

I have. He's... unique, for sure.

[universal_charm]

Unique, huh? Do expand.

[takingkarabusiness]

He's a two-year-old android? Built like a full grown man. Strangely has a British accent.

[universal_charm]

_{[ And he's kept a shirt complete intact! ]}

That's right - Jim Kirk. Nice to meet you too, Hank.

Heh, it's funny. One of my good friends back home has the same last name as you - Leonard McCoy. Though you look far less grumpy than him.
