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 ]

Yes, Mom.

[Yeah, that's... literally all she says.]

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.]

this isnt good

[He'd already been considering contacting Shiro, but it looked like Shiro beat him to the punch.]

[Oh...swell. This is the best news ever. ]

...Yeah, that about lines up with the nightmares. Great, good. I sure was wishing for the day when they'd be prevalent to our lives.

_{[ Because he trusts Shiro as a fellow captain to give it to him straight when he asks questions like this. ]}

What dreams are you talking about?

_{[ He was asleep when they happened, and no one exactly filled him in on them, but then everyone had been dealing with a planet just exploding, so they probably weren't foremost on the mind. ]}

Sounds like a party to me. (As long as her sister stays on one of the ships.) I don't mind playing bodyguard if it's needed.

If the Vieziri are only one group on the planet. How are the rest of people who live in the cities and towns? If they're facing a violent group they might need aid?

Any chance the next planet we visit will be a nice topical paradise with nothing life threatening or terrifying?

[She looks at him curiously. Something about hearing he was the co-captain of the Blameless. She'd been friends with all that ship's former captains. Well, not Azula, but did Azula have friends?]

I guess it was too much to hope for a party planet after the last stop. [Dryly. And not that she was awake for the last two stops. The Atroma made sure she got plenty of rest. But things had certainly been on the heavy side from what she'd heard and what she remembered before going in. Definitely a change from those early months in the fleet.]

I'll let my crew know. Did you learn anything else about the Vieziri? Are they powered or magical? Any special weaponry?

[There probably should have been a "hi, nice to meet you in there." Business first?]

[ it's a mid-afternoon like most other drifting mid-afternoons. the morning work is done -- there's a little gully of time kate has to herself. after all, she still needs must make supper come the evening.

but for now: ]

Hey. Think you've got an hour to spare?

[ they very well could be little more than rooms apart, but this seems like a sensible option. sure. ]

[ For as stoic as Lunafreya can be, today she looks a little... unsettled. ]

As someone who also had a vision, I must admit that I am concerned. Such violence was something that I witnessed in the aforementioned vision.

Yikes to... pretty much all of that. Thanks for the info.

My ship's decently staffed, and I know you guys are sort of unbalanced over there- do you mind if I hang out on the Blameless for a while?

[the staffing thing is just an excuse. kate's there, so that's where he ought to be.]

I'm getting all those feelings again from those visions from before, but it didn't match that. A buncha people just raiding towns or whatever...the vision I got made it seem more like a planetary disaster.

Doudanuki Masakuni, new captain of the Caprine.

[Since Shiro started out by introducing himself, he figures he should do the same.]

Is anyone thinkin' of going down and taking out these Vieziri? Won't they cause a problem if left there to keep wreaking havoc on the other humanoids?
