Who: Tommy Magnus, and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS CAPRINE
When: 06/04

[ So. As far as Tommy's concerned, he's been born for this moment. For every hour Billy had him sit through the von Trapps caterwauling their way through their problems or whatever other corny classic shlock he was into, Tommy had retaliated with an hour of Big Brother and whatever other reality tv show trash had caught his eye.

So, being kidnapped from an impending disaster and being dropped into this seemed only a logical progression of fate. He figured that his mother would be there soon enough, ripping time and space asunder. So after grabbing a cup of pudding and giving a once-over of the ship, he knew what had to be done. Play along, roll with it, and hope that when the Scarlet Witch gets here she doesn't break the universe too hard.

Which leads him here. Stretched out, relaxed as can be. Might as well have some fun. He folds his arms behind his head, a playful smirk on his face. ]

Hello out there my soon to be loyal viewership. It's me - Tommy. But you can call me Speed if that's a little more your style. I'm honored to be part of this, clearly you received my audition tape and were as impressed with me as I am with all this. This is a total game-changer.

I'm in it to win it, and this season's going to be the best one yet.

Well, the ships are in one peace. And I'm just guessing but most of the pop here has to be mutant or magical or alien, so what are a few space raiders to all of that?

[ But you caught him. He stopped paying full attention after Atroma and enough fire power. The hell kind of name is that. ]

What even is there to raid.

The ships all suffered major damage and only got through because another fleet of ships intervened to defend us when Atroma wouldn't. And the raiders were experienced enough while none of us were prepared or trained to work together.

[Don't ask him. He thinks it's stupid as well.]

I'm not sure. Some people have valuables and we earn credits we can spend in systems we visit.

Okay, so, like I said. Governments? Typically bad. At least to somebody in their care.

[ But he guesses that makes sense. Blugh. ]

I wouldn't even give them that. They kidnap us and then that's it. They're done, the rest seems more or less up to us.

So what exactly is "the rest"? Other than raiders.

We just left a system where we attended a party hosted by someone named Dreadhorse who has ties to Atroma. That same system, several parts, were extremely intolerant of even swearing. What we do makes up the 'show' we're on.
