Who: Hank McCoy and Erik Lehnsherr
Broadcast: fleetwide

When: today!

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.

Action
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.]
Action
[It wasn't exactly a question, but close. After she said it, she tentatively stepped through the gap he had made in the wall.]

What are you hoping to find?

[Laura hesitated.]
But I do not understand most of it.

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