[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.

[Wing nods.] Still, we can do something to make it somewhat secure.

Unless you think it might become a target?

And others are still awakening, apparently. Someone should stay back, at least, to welcome them. [As much of a welcome as anyone could give here.]

I haven't seen any signs of recent attack, from the outside, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be.

Though...why would we be deemed a threat? We're refugees. None of us want anything more than to go home.

We need supplies and possibly a medic, as well. Although we--I was repaired somehow, before I awoke. [That was disturbing: he'd been dying, spark chamber torn open by Braid's lance, and yet he'd onlined here entirely intact.]

But surely they'll see that we mean no harm? [Oh, naivete, your name is Wing.] It doesn't make sense to fear something just because it's new.

[He nods.] Someone must know medicine, here or in the Old City.

Yes, I was...dying, I think. [His hand brushes his chassis again.] But I am here, whole.

But surely your kind allows for the unknown to become known. How else do you advance your knowledge?

[He frowns.] We'll simply show them we are no threat. They will learn, certainly.

That is our only option. We cannot attack them or...we'll have proved their concerns were justified. We may need their help.

And it seems, they may need ours.

Yes. Things very rarely are as simple as we might wish. Trying to be nonthreatening while being able to defend ourselves is merely one example.

[A nod.]

You seem to have experience in this. [It's one of those polite 'questions that aren't worded as questions in case it's rude to ask a question. ]

[A quiet laugh.] And I have spent millennia in my City.

Perhaps you are best to lead our band?

[Which is probably a good thing. Wing has learned not to trust those who wanted power. They often wanted it for the wrong reasons.]

Still, you have expertise we desperately need.
