[On screen Jim is calm, a man clearly used to making announcements and to taking care of himself. He might be a little lacking in spit and polish, but his background of command is probably evident in his air.]

For those I haven't met, my name is James T. Kirk. I'd like to talk about our situation, and what our plans are. I say "our" because I believe it is imperative that those in a similar situation with similar goals band together to achieve them. I don't know why we're here, or where here is. I do know that we stand a better chance at both survival and getting home if we work together.

To that end, I suggest we form exploratory parties to learn as much as we can. About the ship, the surrounding area, and the domes.

Further, I'm willing to share whatever I have. Unfortunately, that's almost nothing and I have nothing to trade but labor. So I'm offering my services as well. You can find me at the provided housing, for the time being.

I am certain that, together, we can get through this.

Sound suggestions. My name's Diziet Sma, and I'd be very interested in any exploration that wants doing.

[original_fine]

[Have a smile.]

Good. That's what I like to hear.

[diziet_sma]

I'm especially curious about the dome—not least as to whether there might be some way in.

[waspromisedcake]

Ok.

[Chell: not a people person.]

[original_fine]

Which part, miss...?

[waspromisedcake]

[Oh. Way to be, girl.]

The exploring.

[River seems to have made a home for herself inside the ship. She's in what appears to be a passenger room, that doesn't look like it was used before she got there. The lights are flickering.]

She tells me secrets.

[original_fine]

Who does, River?

[she places her hand on the wall of her room] The ship.

[hi_there_aliens]

Sounds good. I'd like to volunteer. My name is Doctor Daniel Jackson.

[original_fine]

Dr. Jackson, thank you. Anything in particular you think you'd be good at? What sort of doctor are you?

[hi_there_aliens]

Your welcome. I'm an archaeologist with a specialty in Egyptology, as well as a linguist.

Some should stay with the ship. It's where we awoke. There must be clues there.

[video]

[original_fine]

I'm certain there are. It's one of the areas I think needs exploration. Have you noticed anything?

[video]

[knightoflight]

Not yet. I was hoping to find and access the central computer. As soon as we are certain that it's safe.

[truth_is_cold]

I can assist in exploring the surrounding area. My kind are engineered for harsher conditions and terrain.

[original_fine]

Useful--may I ask what that kind is, or is that intrusive?

[femshep]

You sound pretty used to people doing exactly what you say. [She sounds guarded, but not hostile. Just feeling out who exactly she's talking to.]

[original_fine]

I am. And while I am well aware that my authority doesn't formally apply here, I'm merely saying what someone needs to. These are suggestions. Not orders.

[eternaliyah]

I've been exploring nearby, intending to go farther afield.

I wouldn't mind doing it with a team, if the idea is as popular as it seems.

[original_fine]

I've been doing the same. But I think that organization confers some benefits, be it for food or information gathering. There's strength in numbers, and there's also no sense in replicating effort.

[nukeitfromorbit]

If you've got a plan, I'm ready to listen.

[Audio]

[original_fine]

There have been several volunteers for exploration. My plan is that we form groups to look into various options and locations, to avoid individuals replicating each others' efforts. By pooling resources and information, we have a better chance of learning what we need to. And a better chance of survival should conditions prove hostile. My suggestion would be teams: food procurement, exploration of the ship, the dome, and the surrounding territory.

Locked.

[rpondicus]

If there's anywhere, you know, inhospitable? I don't need to breathe. I know parts of the ship don't have good air.

Locked.

[original_fine]

You don't need to breathe. That... is unusual, but could be very useful. Mr...?
