Open/Mingle - Roll Call.

[collegedropout]

Who: Sam, and you, and anyone; tis a mingle of sorts.
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: SS Bloodsport, if you wanna find him.
When: After the planet is struck - Sept 22nd.

Note: Feel free to tag each other and inform everyone of whatever you need to, post-planetary explosion! I'll tag here and there, but consider it more of a mingle for people to touch bases about casualities and making sure people know they're okay (or if someone's injured.)

[Sam sits, triumphant in their mission but also defeated in spirit. Because yeah, they got the ship off the planet, and there's a whole civilization of people who get out of there... but he also is already too aware there is at least one fatality on their end already. Looma's last broadcast had been expected, especially after she'd sent him a warning beacon as the meteor pressed down into the planet's atmosphere, speeding, ready to smash the thing to pieces without effort.

Looma at least faced her death as one would expect, for her people. He imagines they would be proud.

Still, he sounds deflated at the thought, as he speaks a more leveled and straightforward response:]


... We've lost Captain Looma, of the SS Bishop. Umm... for what it's worth, she did it on her terms. I'm sorry.


[He's carried out the task of divvying up the blood from the blood drive, in case anyone from any particular ship needs it; there've been some injuries from shrapnel and citizen unrest, he's pretty sure. That's about all he can do, now, other than check in on the gardens... make sure Fie's work is continued alongside her, because it's important to keep those plants alive and thriving.

He slumps a little in weariness, sighing at his desk where he sits on the SS Bloodsport.]


... Role call?


Who's, um. Who's missing?

Comments

[axi]

[Her own expression slides into one of relief.]

I guess I missed the hard stuff, huh? [Not that she's grateful for that. Even one more person to assist would've helped more.]

But there's still work to be done while we're here. [It's not a question.] Where can I help?

[collegedropout]

A lot of places, if you're willing.

[He can already tell she's got a good head on her shoulders. The more like that, the better.]

What augment did they supply you with?

[axi]

I'm used to hard work, it's not a problem.

[It's only a moment before she answers.] Personnel. But I do know first aid, if people still need assistance with that. And I'm good with adapting to different alien physiologies when needed.

[She stops, thinking.] Is everyone on the same page in terms of what needs to be done? Unfortunately, things can fall through the cracks if the operation is big enough.

[collegedropout]

Honestly? No. But we didn't have quite the manpower and time to be on the same pages for a while there; I think now that the rush is over and we're out of harm's way, we're developing more of a system.

[He considers her offer, though.]

There were definitely people there on the Lyukian station in need of more medical aid; I'm sure you can imagine, a whole civilization rushing into pods and ships... they were having plenty of medical issues. They have their own doctors, too, but they're limited still on nursing aid.

[axi]

Then I'll see if I can be useful there. Barring that, I can probably find something.

[Pausing, she holds out her hand.] Kaname Buccaneer.

[collegedropout]

[He extends a scarred palm, giving her hand a gentle sort of shake.]

Sam Winchester. Do you have any questions about the place, Kaname?

I know this is a lot to take in for some new passengers.

[axi]

[Her own shake's professional and practiced by comparison.]

Not much right now. Interstellar travel isn't new to me, so don't worry about it. If anything comes up, I'll make sure to ask.

[collegedropout]

[He gives a pleasant nod.]

Space traveler? Nice. We've got a few of those around, but most of the time it's a bunch of people who've only seen videos of rockets and space. It's... pretty crazy for them.

[axi]

I can't imagine it not being available, because it so readily is where I'm from. There's so much cohabitation with other species, it's something no one ever bats at eye about.

[A slight shrug.]

[collegedropout]

Yeah? It's a little different back in 21st century earth, for us.

Unless you figured out space travel way faster than my universe and enjoy making us look bad.

[axi]

Well, we did begin galactic expeditions back in 2012. That was over fifty years ago for me, so who can say? But it began when an alien craft crashed into an island in 1999.

[She gives a slight smile.] Does any of that sound familiar?

[collegedropout]

[He smiles apologetically.]

1999 and 2012 are familiar numbers.

The rest, not so much. It's 2017 back home and we definitely can't navigate space like that.

[axi]

[She shakes her head with a smile.]

I didn't think it would, but it's still so strange to hear that.

[collegedropout]

[Aw, well. He wags a hand.]

If it makes it any better, I've got a ton from my world that people can't really wrap their heads around, so I can relate. It's weird when something so natural to you startles or confuses others.

[axi]

A little bit. But it's not necessarily a bad thing if you think about it.

[Anyway...] I think we should talk more later. For now, I'll go find something to help with. Thank you for the introduction.

[collegedropout]

Sure, not a problem. If you need anything, don't hesitate to throw me a message or a holler.
