Who: Kaidan Alenko
Broadcast: Fleetwide video!
Action: Vaguely planetside, if desired
When: Today!
[The second Kaidan turns on the feed, the sound is distant and barely controlled chaos. He's moved into a side room near one of the space ports in the area, and the air is filled with the buzzing and chiming of a great many comm feeds going off in rapid succession, the constant chatter of traffic controllers almost a drone of noise over the top of it all. In addition, the noise outside can just be made out - the terrified shouting of civilians and the low whir and roar of engines as shuttles come and go.
Kaidan doesn't look scared at all. Strained, at best, but his gaze on the camera is one of steely focus.]
I've done what I can to reach out the Lyukite military to help coordinate their efforts down here. I'm sure most of the captains are ready and willing to lend their ships, but if we deploy our shuttles we can double our efforts.
I need a count of how many operational shuttles we have in the fleet, their capacity, and the names of a pilot for each that's willing to do some heavy duty for the next couple of days, and then I'll patch that list over to the command center down here so they can add us to the schedule of evacuation and supply runs.
The more smoothly this runs, the better.
I've had to stand by and watch a world get destroyed because I couldn't do anything about it. [His voice cracks, just a little] But not this time. Not a chance.

[That...is more defensive than angry, for once, but probably doesn't eliminate any cause for concern. Still, in the last few days before this mess, she had been catching up at least. Even if it meant she was mostly getting by on a combination of willpower, anger, and frustration now.]
If the opportunity presents itself, I will see about obtaining a few extra moments of rest. Keep your word and look into additional pilots, and be assured I will keep mine.

You can count on it. We're...we're going to do everything we can for these people. No matter what.

Many of us are far more powerful than anyone on this planet. It is only natural that we show them what that means, and rally to their aid.
We would not be worthy of their deference and admiration otherwise.
[Her society's...well, heavily feudal, Kaidan. This is pretty much the most she can do to reconcile it with what the rest of the galaxy's used to.]
no subject
I don't know about deference. I'll settle for living, breathing, and healthy. But...you're right about us having abilities they don't. We have a duty to use them in any way we can.
[That was why he'd joined the Alliance, eventually]
