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.

[Erik glances over at Hank, who's busy poking through the pumpkins at the edge of the frame.]

It was his idea. This was a bit far to come for personal interest alone. [The fact that he had minimal personal interest in the SOS signal to begin with was another factor in that.]

Not surprising. I mean, I don't know what does or doesn't sound like your idea, obviously, but I do know what sounds like Hank's.

[ warning. warning. we have reached embarrassing babbling levels. this can only get worse. ]

[Erik's long pauses probably do not help the embarrassment factor. Here goes another one.]

Yes. I don't care much for the source of the message. The ship itself, though... [The closer he got, the more his curiosity woke up.]
winn: (Back off man. I’m a scientist)

What about it?

[ shit, now he's interested. sorry, kitty! ]

We haven't experienced a ship this size from the inside, as far as I know. There's no telling what might have been left behind.

Or what brought it down.
exothermia: (But all will be okay my friend)

Is that really something you want to consider?

I think it's something you have to.

[ since they're there and all. yeah it's been a long time but there are some things that could still be problematic however long has passed since the ship crashed later. ]

Be careful out there. [ that's one of his best friends ever you have with you there. ]

[All he can do is nod, really. With a lack of conversation ideas coming to mind that don't lead down rocky roads, Erik switches off the feed. Not the most polite of exits, but it seemed to him like a good time to go.]
