Captain's Log 11 - Calling All Captains

[universal_charm]

Who: Kirk + Fellow Captains and First Mates
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Yes; On the Marsiva
When: After this post

[ Broadcast ]
Given the recent events, I think it is prudent that all current captains and their first mates meet. It has been some time since we've had one, to my knowledge, and I believe it to be in our better interests to discuss the change in circumstances.

I'll secure a space that can fit us all, and let you know where and when soon.

[ Action ]
<sub>[ Kirk had secured a space that was both relatively private and large enough to fit all of the captains and first mates. At least being on the Marsiva meant that everything here was more or less neutral ground, even if it didn't feel like the safest place to meet per say. But putting this off until they got off it didn't feel right either, so best to make the most of it.

Hopefully all the captains would come, and their first mates, and they could try to make sense of the most recent events. Because someone had to, right? ]</sub>

[Kitty might take a seat once everyone filters in, but for now she takes a space not far from Furiosa, but also not crowding her. This calibrations aren't much different than things she's been through in her last abduction. They had shared dreams there which often played out memories. Still, she hasn't been quite as relaxed and social since she lost Winn, and being near the quiet predator feels like the most comfortable spot in the room. It's something she knows instinctively. It's a vibe she'd expect from another X-Man. At least one from back home. And she hasn't been in Furiosa's mind or vice versa yet at least, so there isn't that awkwardness.

She does greet her with a head nod.]

[Furiosa glances over as Kitty settles next to her, and gives her a slight nod back, more in acknowledgement than anything else, recognizing it's not someone she's been forced to share minds with. She's thankful for that - that some people still get their privacy (from herself, it not from others).]

Here's hoping we're able to figure something out.

There's always hope no matter how small. [She smiles a little. She doesn't think much will come from it in terms of productivity. But maybe they'll get a better working relationship and they'll be able to pull together more as a very large team instead of a collection of individuals. She knows the power of a team united by a single interest. Of course, she also knows what it's like to try to form such a thing in a place like this. There are challenges beyond what she faced at home.]

We all bring different experiences to this. That's something.

[kill_switch]

[She gives Kitty a little raised brow. Hope. No fair using that argument against her.]

[Her lips curl ever so slightly in response, but it's not enough to thaw the edges.]

Sometimes even that's not enough; you need the right set of circumstances. [She looks down at Kitty,] It's not luck; it's someone else fucking up, or underestimating you.

[She nods.] We have to be watching for an opening and ready to take it if it comes. [She wishes she had enough hope to say "when" instead of "if" there. But there was enough to get her here today.]
