[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.

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

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.

Sounds about right to me.

Count me in.

Good. We'll need everyone we can get.
