Who: Furiosa and You
Broadcast: Open Text
Action: Vanquish, First Breath
When: Month of May

Network - Text

Back to the same old grind. What's the most interesting thing that's happened to you in the past ... let's say year? What's noteworthy?

Open - Vanquish Hangar Bay

[Furiosa is practicing knife work, one-handed, with the blades Natasha had loaned her. She's good with improvised weapons, but her familiarity lies more with firearms than melee, so she's spending some extra effort during drift getting familiar with the motion. She's got a board set up against some crates with a crude target on it, tossing the daggers one at a time, and then retrieving them to try again.]

Closed - Tyrion

[Eventually, in part restlessness, and in part gearing for any eventual battle (infrequent as they might be, she prefers to be prepared). She shuttles over to the hangar bay of the First Breath, feeling a pang of nostalgia as she navigate the familiar ship, and makes her way to Tyrion's engineering station.]

Hey. Got time for another project?

krammbunctious

Who: Kramm, Tyrion, Crowley, The Iron Bull, Natasha
Broadcast: private
Action: The Vanquish
When: This evening

[It's officially done! Kramm's first batch of home-brewed goodness. He's got three barrels that he's prepping for the special guests who would get a first taste, and if everything come out alright he might possibly have a business venture out of it.

Somewhat of a momentous occasion for him - since he's used to killing things and wreaking havoc for a living - he wanted to make it a small celebration of creation. It's something of a private event, though, and party planner he is not. He does set up a table with cluster of dented metal mugs for the tasting. It's not much, but he's proud of it.

Once happy with the layout, he opens up a filtered post to the lot of them - friends and prospective employers alike - and starts the feed off with a big doofy grin.]

Hey folks, beer is ready when you are!

krammbunctious

Action - Vanquish

[Kramm's been collecting supplies for a project, and for a while just tucks them in an out-of-the-way corner of the hanger bay. Buckets, funnels, containers of various plant-based goods, and a few other little odds and ends. It takes him a couple days to track down everything he needs, but once he seems content that he's covered his shopping list, he settles himself to constructing his very own brewery.

It was only a matter of time - his life before had been so nomadic, having a stable place to set up something like this was always out of the question. Now, though, he's spent enough time on this same ship to feel comfortable enough setting down something like actual roots.

Feel free to question his tactics, or put in dibs for the first batch.]

Video

[He had wanted to hold off until he'd had actual beer for this, but he's too excited; the feed opens on his toothy grin and he's nearly wiggling.]

I would like to take this moment to inform everyone that in about a month, the very first Vanquish Brewery Ale will be ready. Gonna be limited edition, but if it goes well I'm definitely expanding.

Who: Jean Grey
Broadcast: fleet-wide
Action: SS Vanquish
When: 10 June

( Jean isn't a stranger to space. She isn't a stranger to time travel. She is a stranger to this particular space ship, though, and she's not really sure why she's here or how she got here. It's a pain in the ass, really, considering she just got back from space not even two weeks ago and here she is again, trapped in the limbo of endless black and stars close enough to touch. She'd started on a ship with limited capacity and basically no people and at least she's actually on a ship with people now. It's an improvement - somewhat.

Great. Just peachy.

Maybe this time they can skip the Invasion of the Symbiotes and she'll get to keep control of her own body and mind. It'd be nice, for once, not to have to worry about some alien entity invading her body for the fun of it. )

So, uh, question? What sector of space are we in, exactly? Because I just got back from a stint on Klyntar and let me tell you, it wasn't great. I don't want to go back. So if we're anywhere remotely close by (read: within one million lightyears), I'd like to go ahead and nope out now.

( Maybe this isn't the best way to introduce herself to an entire space fleet but, hey, Jean has never been one to beat around the bush. Being a telepath, she has an idea of how people's brains work and it's given her the overarching sense that she needs to just shoot straight ninety nine percent of the time. What's the point in subtlety? Say what you think, be bold, no regrets. It keeps people from misinterpreting your motives, anyway. )

Anyone got ideas on how I can get back to Earth from here? I don't want it to seem like it's less important than the former, because really, if I'm not anywhere near Klyntar I'm good, but I kind of have a team I need to get back to. I'm Jean Grey and I'm captain of the X-Men.

hollystrike

Who: Crew and guests of the Vanquish
Broadcast: Probably not!
Action: Vanquish
When: The month of June

[It's been a while since we've had one of these! With two new crew members, it's probably time.]

krammbunctious

[Video opens to a dark screen as Kramm's face is right up in it as he tries to secure the device. After a moment he backs up enough for the screen to focus on his scaly face, a little touch of red as his forked tongue sticks out in concentration, his blue eyes screwed up as well. Once he seems happy enough with the arrangement, however, he beams with excitement and settles back to smile and wave congenially at the camera.]

Uh, hi! Hello! Kramm here, I'm new. Not, uh, used to this sort of ... thing. I think I'm reaching everyone but let's be honest, I have no idea. [He shrugs his broad shoulders. He's dressed in simple leathers, his green scalemail armor draped over the chair behind him.]

Anyway, just thought I'd give a little formal greeting. Who's been down to the planet yet? What's your favorite place? I really liked the rides until I got stuck on one for a few hours, but ... I'll probably go back tomorrow.

[There's a long awkward pause as he waits for responses, wondering if it's even gone out to anyone. He hums a little tune and taps his clawed fingers on his knees for the moment.]

Who: Felix Gaeta
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: The Vanquish
When: Morning/Afternoon of the 11th

( action, vanquish )

Video
[When the video feed turns on for this particular broadcast, the face on the screen belongs to a young man. Or at least, a kid who looks to be roughly in the latter half of his teen years.

He holds himself with a certain amount of nervous poise, his back a little bit too straight. His hands are clasped in front of him on the table. Public speaking is not...his best talent. But he has some questions! Or, a question, really.]

Uh...hi. My name is Felix. Gaeta. I guess some people here might...already know me? But as an adult. [He strays from that nervous posture just a little, enough to rub the back of his neck, looking off camera for a couple of seconds.] Which is really weird. I mean, it's kind of cool, too. In a way. Because I have no idea how someone would pull this off. Like, did they mess with my DNA somehow? I know that it shouldn't be possible for them to reverse aging this much...but then again I know how to fly an entire spaceship right now, I shouldn't really know how to do that. And the part where I don't remember being here, that's not a DNA thing at all....

[...He's getting distracted, this wasn't what he actually meant to say when he decided to address the Fleet. Right! His question!]

But, um, anyway. Back home, we definitely have the ability to travel in space, but as far as I know, no one has ever come across another populated system. Not even way back before the Colonies were founded. It's really cool that this fleet passes through so many different systems. I was wondering if people could tell me about the most interesting things or people they've encountered.

[He loosens up marginally as he keeps talking, getting into the idea of space and exploration. By the end, Felix is leaning forward a little, curious and engaged.]

Thanks. In advance.

geonomy

Who: Vanquish crew and visitors!
Broadcast: Nah?
Action: On the Vanquish and around the planet!
When: Right meow, and also for March

[Vanquish crew? Up to things? It's more likely than you think.

Get in here, it's time for a mingle!]

scanninggaydis

Who: Vanquish and visitors!
Broadcast: N/A (probably)
Action: SS Vanquish
When: 26th through WHENEVER/end of November

[For all your not-exploring the planet and not-running into trouble on the waystation needs. And costume-making/planning. And eventually for your drifting needs.]

geonomy

Who: The crew of the Vanquish and any visitors!
Broadcast: Maybe? Nah?
Action: On the awesome Vanquish ship
When: Now through July

[Just arrived? Don't like nature, or do you just not have feelings and don't want to hold hands? Come on in!]

geonomy

Who: Team ~~We're Fine~~ ~~Nerd~~ Vanquish and any visitors!
Broadcast: Neh
Action: On the good ship Vanquish and on the bad moon
When: Through March and April!

[Suddenly the ship seems a lot cozier than the toxic wasteland of the outside. Get in here and mingle!]

geonomy

Who: The Vanquish crew and visitors!
Broadcast: Nein?
Action: On the Vanquish lollipop, and around it maybe!
When: During the month of January

[Hey crew! It looks like there's some new changes that have come over the ship as well as a couple of new crewmates from the past shuffle or two! Have you been enjoying the planet, or is it too cold for you? Have you caught a nasty cold like your poor captain a few posts down, or are you a Vanquish member and are fine? Come along for a mingle, let the viewers see what you're up to! And also meet the tiniest, cutest crew member too!]

geonomy

Who: Vanquish crew and visitors
Broadcast: why
Action: Anywhere on board the Vanquish!
When: 11/25 and on!

[The ship is looking classier and cooler now, and what's this? Nice little gifts? Say it ain't so! Surely this must take some investigating!

Or, rather, some mingling! Haha!]

geonomy

Who: All aboard the SS Vanquish!
Broadcast: Neh (Maybe)
Action: All over the ship! Maybe beyond!
When: The last half of August.

[Racing, racing, racing! It seems like the nearly the entire crew is into this racing business, whether that means winning or losing some of these races. Clearly, they all have competitive streaks deep inside.

It's the middle of the week, so they're not expecting someone new to show up. But wouldn't you know it? Someone does. Time to break out the confetti and chocolate pudding ready, and welcome to the newest member of the Vanquish crew!]

geonomy

Who: SS Vanquish and whoever visits!
Broadcast: Noooope.
Action: SS Vanquish!
When: Any time during their stay on the blue planet!

[That's right, it's a ship mingle! While the crew of Vanquish have fun on the beach, or help the residents with rebuilding/the fungus problem, or shopping, or whatever strikes their fancy, they've still got to come back to the ship sometime!

As the rest of the crew return at points, they might find a growing collection of shells and little cups of sand and algae around the pilot's area. He'll organize it someday. Maybe.]

fujibayashi

Who: Anyone
Broadcast: None planned
Action: SS Vanquish!
When: Mid-May to the end of the month!

[This pit stop has been exciting. Lots of gambling and fun and forest adventures... Some people got more metal put in, some people might've gotten ink. There's sure to be a conversation somewhere.

The Vanquish is still rather bare when it comes to upgrades, but that might change soon. Who knows.]

sonati

Who: Sonata and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Vanquish
When: 4/23

[There is a tiny space idol appearing on the screen today, dressed in an idol outfit and wearing an interesting-looking necklace. Of course, what's probably the most notable thing about her are the heart-shaped highlights in her hair and eyes. A certain someone might recognize her.

None of that really matters, though! What matters is that she looks both bored and slightly disgruntled, because she still hasn't been able to find her dumb penguin companion.]

Sonata's looked all over now, and Slowpoke still isn't anywhere to be found! [Admittedly, she's only been able to search the Vanquish so far, but that counts as 'all over', right?] Where is he, anyway? It's not like he could have gone very far; he's too slow for that.

[Of course, there's been times he's gotten away from her regardless, like now, but she's refraining from mentioning that bit of info.]

Hey! If anyone's seen a purple penguin, let Sonata know, okay? His name's Slowpoke, but he'll probably call himself Penguinmon. He's really bossy and no fun at all... and he doesn't like me much, but he's supposed to be my partner, so he'll just have to deal; you should tell him that, too.

[What is she even talking about? Who knows, and her way of speaking is probably super weird for some people too. Maybe it's an imaginary friend.]

fujibayashi

Who: Anyone!
Broadcast: None at first but you can if you'd like!
Action: SS Vanquish
When: April 11th-17th

[A new ship and a bunch of new people. Some have been waiting on the Marsiva to be sorted for longer than others. We don't have a cook. Or an engineer. Or even one of the comms guys.

We have... girls. A bunch of cute girls and one cute boy, who is the pilot. This'll be interesting.]
