Who: Leonard McCoy
Broadcast: Yep - ota
Action: On the Caprine
When: Now.

[Someone looks about half a beat from pouring himself a really strong drink. He's not looking depressed so much as just really confused.] The Caprine's feeling a bit empty, but hey. We've got a new captain. [He's not sure if he should ask for help or tell who's left on the Caprine to abandon ship.]

Pouring a drink for absent friends. [He didn't know Pinkie Pie or Daenerys well, but... they were crewmates and there's also a downed Enterprise not so very long ago, too.] I'd invite y'all to join me but the Caprine's a small ship, empty as it is.

[But he'll take visitors, should anyone get it in their heads to travel to the Caprine. Either way, someone please distract this man.]

Who's her captain now?

[ hm. peggy asks the question quite sincerely. she likes to keep at least a loose understanding of which ships have which captains. she hoards information. you can take the spy out of the war but you can't take the war out of the spy. ]

You're lookin' at him. [Pause. Sigh.] Unfortunately.

In that case? It's a pleasure. Peggy Carter. Captain on the Starstruck.

Leonard McCoy. Good to meet you.

[ peggy puts a great deal of faith in cooperation between ships. namely, for bartering. and so it doesn't hurt to make inroads: ]

If there's anything the Caprine needs, Captain McCoy, you're welcome to give us a call. Share and share alike.

[ for a nominal fee/exchange! ]

I appreciate that, Captain. That's what it'll take to keep us all alive and healthy out here, I'm sure.

It's a strange little life. But we're all living it as best we can. Make do and mend, after all.

Tell me about it. You'd think I'd be better prepared for this, coming up through Starfleet, but... [He trails off, shrugs.] Space isn't new. The rest of this is just odd.

[ oh! now that's interesting... ]

Your world is equipped already for space travel, is it? [ ... ] Mine is far from the mark.

[notanoptimist]

It is. We're tasked with exploring what's out there. [To put it simply.]

[mucked]

And what is out there?

[notanoptimist]

Anything you can imagine and probably a little more.

[mucked]

Really? [ a thoughtful smile. ] I can imagine quite a lot. Though I'm told folks back home won't so much as make it to the moon until the '60s.

I used to think that, too. I was surprised more often than not.

[He shrugs then.] Yeah. That's about right. Takes a lot of time and ingenuity but we make it - and then go further.

[mucked]

Such is our burden, I suppose. [ humankind. or maybe more than just them. ] An insatiable appetite for further.

Sounds about right. Starfleet wouldn't exist without that.
