002; video

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.

[Letting out a breath, he looks to the ceiling, covered with vines.]

If this entire ship were to crumble on itself, nothing would stop it. The forest has already claimed it. Some parts are still more stable than others. [He can easily avoid the areas that won't accept their weight, or further punishment. Ideally, none of those lie between them and the bowels of the ship.]

You can tell which ones are which.

[It wasn't exactly a question, but close. After she said it, she tentatively stepped through the gap he had made in the wall.]
exothermia: (And upside down again)

Yes. [He watches her move inside the ship for a moment, before turning back to the heaps of vegetables and fruits littering the floor.] So nothing too dire should happen.
girlverine: (Determined)

[She was quiet for maybe thirty seconds, considering the ship around them before she finally spoke again.]

What are you hoping to find?

We're looking for the source of the broadcast. [Well, Hank is. Erik is just along for destructive support.] Whatever else the interior of this ship can tell us, as well.
girlverine: (A moment of pity.)

You mean the words we're hearing.

[Laura had almost gone back to the ship because of those. She did not like things being put into her head.]

The... [He frowns for a moment, not quite following what she means. Then he realises what she's referring to - not something he's heard himself, but plenty of others have mentioned it.] Are you hearing things on the planet as well?
girlverine: (Frustrated.)

Action

[personal profile] girlverine 2016-11-05 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[Laura hesitated.]

But I do not understand most of it.

I think... that's been the case with everyone who's heard such things. At least in the experience of those I've spoken to about it.
girlverine: (Lurking)

Action

[personal profile] girlverine 2016-11-08 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
[She knew other people had been hearing it just from her lurking around. But she hadn't approached anyone.]

...Do they understand any of it?
exothermia: (On the line)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-11-09 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
No... only a general impression of calling.
girlverine: (A moment of consideration.)

[Laura frowned.]

I feel like I understand part of it. But...not enough to matter.
