[Jim's sitting in his suite, wearing his command golds, looking serious as a heart attack. He's leaning forward, one hand braced against the armrest of his chair, the other fiddling with something on the console. Satisfied, he leans back more fully and nods once to the camera.]
Okay, let's get the introductions out of the way first. Name's Jim, Jim Kirk. Captain of the USS Enterprise. I serve in Starfleet in the year 2259 - Starfleet being a space-based armada focused on peaceful exploration and the discovery of new forms of life in the universe.
[There's a slight quirk to his brow, he coughs and then continues with all due charisma,]
I know there's people out there that've been here longer than I have, so I'm asking for your help - and the assistance of anyone willing. We know we're here to fight something, some of you know what and why. While I can understand the reasoning behind keeping that information to allies, I'd like to stress the fact that we're all in this together, regardless of worlds, races or creeds. This isn't something we can or should fight blind. So I'm proposing a broader alliance, a centralized repository of information, and the consideration of a unified front to face whatever's coming.
Additionally, I'm interested in the martial capabilities of the landed foreigners, any contingency plans that have been put in place to deal with the situations we're potentially facing here, and the sorts of scenarios that've been dealt with in the past.
[He exhales a little more sharply than necessary, and then he gives the camera a brief, two-fingered salute.]
Kirk out.
[and edited in after the fact, private to Kyle Rayner.]
We should talk.

That just gets a somber nod.] I know. But... sometimes it's hard when you're fighting someone you know. Cause you have to understand their side.
[Then she smiles, and the crazy thing is, it's not forced. Raimei just decides not to dwell on it.] But it'll be much better now, because we got rid of the hijutsu! I wish I'd been able to stay around and see what happened. [To say it would revolutionize the world of Nabari would be a vast understatement.]

Hey, who says you can't? We're not going to be here forever.
starfleet encryption
[Both teasing and genuinely enthusiastic.]
starfleet encryption
Exactly! We'll be home in no time.
starfleet encryption
What did you say you were? A captain? [Totally shamelessly,] I wasn't really paying attention.
starfleet encryption
A Starfleet captain. Totally different than a normal captain. I've got space powers.
starfleet encryption
What does that mean? Cool explosions?
starfleet encryption
Actually, we try to avoid explosions whenever possible. Starfleet's more about diplomacy and peacekeeping.
starfleet encryption
Less exciting, but if we can stop the fighting before it starts, that's better for everyone. That's why we got rid of the hijutsu at home.
You must be doing good work.

[And then he smiles a little, and his expression flickers briefly downward.]
Not just me, but yeah. I think the 'Fleet's got the right idea.
starfleet encryption
That's why I signed up to help, [she says, trying to be encouraging and keep things off of whatever is lurking that he doesn't want to think about.] It's the right idea. You can count on me!
starfleet encryption
[Back to his more customary grin.]
Thanks, Raimei.

[And she makes the hand gesture in her icon as a parting gesture. Don't ask what it means. It's just a thing she does.]
