[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.

[AT LEAST TWENTY PERCENT OF HIS CREW IS ALIENS he's like an expert on interspecies working relationships okay?]
video;
You're on the other side of the mirror.
video;
Okay, he gives her a confused look-- but it fades, as he realizes she means the consoles. Whew, he can thank his Academy training for that one.]
Let me try that again. Let's meet up somewhere and you can try me there. Deal?
video;
Wood Sector. [Because then she'd have a lot of things to do. And because she'd hidden some straw dummies there.]
video;
[He could always try to locate her on his tri-c, but... that could be pretty hit or miss, given the physiology of the kedan.]
video;
Ask the kedan where the foreigner wolf plays.
[She thinks she has enough of a presence there for some of the locals to know she visits regularly.]
video;
Okay. Meet you there?
video;
[Actually she leaves right now. Without turning off the console. Sorry, Jim.]
--> action?
what he meant
when he meant. Jim stares at the console for a moment in frustration, and then he grabs his jacket and heads out the door. Lucky him, the Wood sector's just next door, and he jogs the whole way. Asks around a bit, gets pointed to a local clearing.
No time like the present, right? Off he goes.]
action!
So obviously she's not doing much to seem like she's waiting. In fact, she's sprawled on her stomach, looking for all the world like she's about to fall asleep in a few minutes. She's been waiting after all, and when she sits still for too long, the only other thing to do is take a nap.
But she perks up a little when she smells and hears someone coming.]
action!
Jim slows to a walk when he approaches, because he's. Pretty sure this is who (what?) he's looking for, but you never know. He's always been pretty good with animals (Iowa farm boy) but part of being good with animals is that you never take for granted they aren't going to bite you.
Even the sentient ones!
(Catgirls.)]
Hey.
[... best conversation starter, or best conversation opener?]
action!
What would you like to see?
action!
['Shake a paw'? No, that's probably asinine.]
What's your best move?
action!
Amaterasu jumps up in the air and aims a hind paw at Jim's head. Run kid, run.]
Re: action!
Jim ducks out of sheer shock (he's kind of used to having things come out of nowhere at him, okay?) and trips. Which puts him directly square on his ass on the ground.]
Let's maybe not demonstrate on me, okay pooch?
action!
You are no fun. [Sniffs in disdain.]
Re: action!
[He gets to his feet and dusts himself off. Ain't nothing damaged but his pride.]
If you want to demonstrate in a sparring match, that's fine. But I don't like being attacked out of nowhere, okay? Even if you don't mean it.
action!
Amaterasu takes her typical fighting stance, legs spread and head lower than her shoulders but ears alert and eyes watching him intently.]
action!
Ooookay, so how should we-- do that?
action!
[What do they teach the military to do these days??]
action!
[HE TAKES A DEEP BREATH.]
Back home that's-- you know, animal cruelty. It's weird. Even if you're apparently a kung-fu ninja.
action!
Not supporting animal cruelty is well and good, but you are being ridiculous. And you might not be able to hit me anyway.
action!
Okay, okay. Bring it on.
action!
She's aiming to ram her head against his stomach.]
