[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.

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.]
action!
action!
action!
action!
Actually, she doesn't just stumble. She buckles under his weight and falls over backwards.]
action!
Well.
This is new. Jim scrambles up and backs away, low and wary.]
