[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.

You mind telling me again?

[If Jim's watching, about the time Asbel begins to speak there's a flicker of a red ring of light around Asbel's left eye that quickly fades out.]
Fodra was...dead, at least six months or so ago. We couldn't feel any of the eleth at all when we were there, even in the monsters. The entire planet had been dead for a thousand years. It...got better, suddenly, pretty recently.
[And kind of tried to kill all of us BUT THAT'S NOT RELEVANT.]
video;
Any idea what the catalyst was?
video;
I don't think it's Tu Vishan that wants to kill us, though. If it wanted to, I don't think it'd need to draw it out like this.
video;
No, agreed. I heard the turtle's the one maintaining the barrier, so... why risk the power expenditure just to prolong this whole [he waves a hand in lieu of any sort of intelligent sounding explanation.] procedure.
video;
...I was told we were brought here to fight something. With Tu Vishan...sick [He doesn't want to outright say 'dying', he doesn't like that word] and our powers being affected...that just got a lot harder.
video;
So we train. Shouldn't be too hard. You're good with a sword, so that's a start.
video;
[He's worried about the people who are getting sick, really.]
video;
No, I meant-- you can teach people. That was a collective 'we'.
Re: video;
That's true. We'll have to make it work, I'd just feel a little better if we were actually at full strength.
[He wants a savepoint and a last-second trip to a turtlez this smells like boss fight.]

video;
Dammit, Jim, you are the wrong captain for this!]
Yes, sir.
video;
[What just happened, help.]
Good luck.
[... at least he didn't say 'you're dismissed'? BECAUSE THE REFLEX WAS DEFINITELY THERE.]
