[Text closed to Keith - Friday night]

We've arrived to the new system. How are you feeling?

[He doesn't know about the planet bringing back the sensations of the dreams yet, but he worries.]

[Video - Saturday evening]

[When the feed starts, an armor wearing Shiro is sitting down and taking off his helmet as the light blue lights of his suit go off.]

This is Shiro, co-captain of S.S. Blameless.

[His face is serious, and his tone of voice means business.]

Last month, certain members of the fleet had visions about the planet we were visiting and the incident that happened after. But there are certain dreams that didn't find their match there, and it seems this new system has brought those sensations back. So early today, I went down with a teammate that had those dreams to investigate. [He frowns a bit, obviously not pleased with the result.] There are some small towns, inhabited by the orange-skinned people we usually encounter. They're heavily armed, too, because of a group called the Vieziri. They're dangerous, deadly hunters that have made the locals live in constant fear.

[His hold on his helmet tightens - it's frustrating, not having his lion, being limited in what he can help with. But he continues, the natural leader in him shining through.]

I know we can't stay in our ships forever. So if you go down there, please, don't do it alone. The bigger the group, the better. Bring a weapon with you, if you aren't the powered or magical kind. The locals are willing to sell theirs, too. Keep your communicators safe and close at all times, check the GPS function that our fellow fleet members were offering some time ago. Captains, it would be wise of you to know where your crew is at all times.

[He pauses. There isn't much more he can say other than be careful. So how to end such a feed?]

If a situation like Lyuku's must happen again, I can only hope we're better prepared this time. [ #famouslastwords ]

Then keep your guard up and stay in contact.

[Looma's feeling much better, but given the return of the visions and everything they'd learned about the Vieziri so far, there's something decidedly off about her now- not so much that she's cautious, but that everything about her seems tense and focused. The bridge almost feels more like a war room, with how intently she's studying the readouts from various systems and not devoting much of her direct attention to the broadcast.]

I have ordered the Bishop to descend from orbit. We will monitor the situation on the ground, and provide immediate fire support wherever it is requested.

[Though to be honest she probably won't even wait for a request. The moment any hostile party emerges from that wilderness, it's likely going to get itself blasted into oblivion without hesitation.]

I will permit this ship to be removed from the field only if it will not jeopardize those still in harm's way.

This is not negotiable.

[She suspects he means well, but...well, it's definitely a good idea not to attempt having that particular conversation again.]

The ship's weaponry, shields, and flight systems are all operational and fully crewed. I have no intention of not putting them to good use.

I am perfectly capable of determining the appropriate time to strike. I have commanded entire fleets, I am certainly able to manage a single vessel.

[Albeit a comparatively lightly armed, lightly armored, civilian one. Still, she did make sure to learn every last inch of it and what it was capable of early on. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best and all that.]
