Who: Hank McCoy and Erik Lehnsherr
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: crashed ship
When: today!
[when the feed opens, the network is gifted with the bickering of two men]
I don't see why you can't do this.
[Erik is the one visible on screen, and he doesn’t look pleased about it at all. He jerks his chin towards the wall next to him, irritated.]
Because it’s your idea, and I don’t want to.
[the huff that follows is a little on the growly side]
I’m here to open paths, not send out messages. [As if to punctuate this point, Erik turns away from the camera and swipes his hand through the air. The metal wall crumples to the side with a shriek, curling up on itself like a ringpull.
The camera shifts off of Erik with a muttered "show off" to the plant life spilling out of the side of the hull, and a clawed, blue foot comes into frame to poke at a nearby pumpkin]
In any case - Erik and I are at the crashed ship, if anyone would like us to bring some of these back. If you're interested, feel free to message one of us.
As for the ship - if anyone else is planning to come out here, be careful. There's ways into the ship, but it has been here a while, so it's falling apart. We'll try to get some information about the signal while we're here, though so far we haven't had much luck.
[the camera moves back to Erik]
Do you have anything you want to add?
[Erik’s mostly occupied with pointing his flashlight into the gloom of the area beyond the wall. He does give a curt response.]
No requests for pumpkins bigger than the usual Earth-size.

You can't just make sweeping offers without limitations.

I'm more than capable of saying no if someone makes any outrageous requests.

. . .I have so many other questions but I would like a pumpkin, yes.

All right. There are some that aren't so big that we can get.

[The voice that accompanies the video is wry, bemusement at the display in the broadcast mingled with humor at the bickering interactions.]
All my hopes, dashed.

I don't think I'd be able to get it back in one piece. Sorry.

Any luck with anything else? What's the ship control look like, is it similar to our ships?
[ ok, serious part, check. ]
FYI, if you start using shaky cam, I'm sending in the cavalry. [ aka kara. what, they're at a creepy crashed ship around halloween, making a video. it's like asking for a horror scenario.
sending in the pretty girl may seem like a bad way to defuse the situation but hey, horror movie pretty girls can't usually throw their assailants to outer space, so. ]
video;
But we haven't made it that far yet. I can send you pictures when we do - and if we manage to pull any data from it, I'll send that too. [he's going to spend half the night sending things, he thinks]

The controls are likely halfway across the ship from here. And possibly embedded in the earth.

Making a path, rather than trying to find operational doors.

I didn't see a "please" anywhere in that message.

Are the walls any steadier than the floors, can you tell?
Oh, and could you bring back some seeds if no one from the Windrose has already asked? My captain will probably want to try his hand at growing a pumpkin.
[video]
Hello, Kurt. [the wall question is more Erik's expertise, so -]
I'd be happy to bring back some seeds - just pumpkins?

[Later]
Except they got turned around, when one of the corridors they had come through originally seemed to have collapsed in the intervening time. Erik had merely glared at it for a moment then turned away with a curse, and started to pick another way through the labyrinth of crumpled hallways. So now they're stepping carefully through another vine-choked doorway, turning their flashlights to the darkness ahead.]
It should be... left. To continue upwards.
no subject
He can't help the low growl of frustration that slips out, matching Erik's curse. His flashlight firmly on the path in front of them, Hank nods and turns to head left. At the very least, he hoped they made it out before night fell. Then at least one thing would go smoothly this trip]
We have to be close, at least. Right?
