[Kara is sitting somewhere, her feet propped up, glass of hooch in hand. It's clear that she's had a few. Probably to give her some dutch courage for her not!apology.]

Ahem. Okay, this is awkward. Hi! [She waggles her fingers at the camera.] Starbuck here. You may have heard me ranting on about Cylons a few days ago. Decking a few orderlies in the process. Not proud about that. Anyway...

[Have a sheepish grin and shrug of her shoulders.]

It's been been cleared up. I've had it explained to me that we may have a converging universes or realities situation here - whatever the frak that means - which, uh, well, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I won't be going around waving my gun in people's faces for the foreseeable future.

[She goes to take a swig of her drink but then remembers to add:]

Unless you royally piss me off - which, you know, can happen on occasion - and then all bets are off. Although, it should be duly noted that I'm also a huge fan of duking it out or playing a game of Triad where the winner takes all to settle disputes.

So, uh, that's it. Everything's peachy.

[There's a brittleness to her smile, though, which may hint at the opposite.]

Carry on doing whatever the frak you were doing. Free drinks at the Flop for those of you in dire need of a drink. And I don't mean water, Chell.

Yeah, just a little on edge.

[That's a definite understatement.]

Waking up in hospital didn't exactly help matters, either.

A Captain, huh? We have a few of those around and a Colonel too. Lieutenant Kara Thrace. Starbuck's my callsign.

[Her comment about waking up in a hospital implies that she's been through rough times. But he's polite enough not to pry. So instead he makes an (admittedly weak) joke.]

Almost enough to start an officer's club.

[buckingauthority]

Now that I could get behind. You met Telford or Shepard yet?

[hunt4commonwealth]

I've met Shepard. She's very assertive. She mentioned Telford, but I haven't had the honor yet.

[buckingauthority]

There's been some talk about trying to get more organized in prep for another possible attack from the dome guys. I figure you might want a heads up on that.

[hunt4commonwealth]

Sheperd mentioned that. Has a time and a place for an organizational meeting been set?

[buckingauthority]

I've been out of the loop for a few days, probably best you ask Shepard. Although, somehow I accidentally volunteered to provide the booze.

[hunt4commonwealth]

Damn important job. And it guarantees that if you go missing before the meeting you'll have search parties out looking for you in the blink of an eye.

[buckingauthority]

There's a cheery thought.
