Who: Everyone
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Iskaulit
When:

[So we've been stuck on the poison moon for a couple months now, so a lot of people probably want to get away from that.

Unfortunately, the only place you really can get away from it besides your own ship is the Iskaulit. So, here's a June Iskaulit mingle!]

There are an abundance of us here.

[takingkarabusiness]

We're just lousy with you people.

[beathach]

Heh. Every time I turn around there's a new one.

[takingkarabusiness]

To be fair, I think space is the perfect place for you to end up.

[beathach]

That's true. It was never an - interest in the sense that I wanted to study it, per say, but it's always fascinated me.

[takingkarabusiness]

Probably because you're barely past the moon landing?

[beathach]

Well - they've been sending things into space since I was a kid. Satellites and probes, things like that. The moon landing was just the first time anyone's step foot on the moon.

[takingkarabusiness]

That's still amazing to me... I had already been to 11 planets by the time I was 12.

[beathach]

Don't rub it in or anything. [he huffs, but he's smiling] How many in our solar system?

[takingkarabusiness]

Earth was my 12th. Otherwise, we stayed in our own star system.

[beathach]

I'm definitely jealous.

The closest I get to that is watching Star Trek on TV.

[takingkarabusiness]

You mentioned liking that before. Seems like it was really influential for you.

[beathach]

I wouldn't say influential - but I'm a fan of the genre. It's one of the few things I actually watch every week.

[takingkarabusiness]

Entertaining, then. I've learned a lot about scifi since hanging out with Winn.

[beathach]

Is he into the genre too?

[takingkarabusiness]

Boy, is he. He has a catalogue of knowledge about a bunch of things.

[beathach]

I should ask him about that . . .

But - speaking of, sort of. Have you run into anyone here that you . . . recognize from media back home?

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh... kind of? It always seems rude to bring up.

[beathach]

Mm, I haven't brought it up either.

Okay, I'm glad it isn't just me. I just - it's not a situation I've experienced before.

[takingkarabusiness]

I mean, with infinite earths, everything is possible.

[beathach]

That's true. I didn't really consider that until I met - someone. I suppose, in the long run, I've experienced much stranger.

[takingkarabusiness]

Who?

[beathach]

Jim Kirk.

[takingkarabusiness]

Really?

[beathach]

Really.

Guess what Star Trek's about.
