I would have made a proper introduction days ago, but like most of you I’ve been trying to settle into this new … habitat. I’m Christopher Pike, Captain of the USS Enterprise. It’s a starship. Pretty fancy. Definitely missing some of her 23rd century luxuries at the moment, but I digress.
I’ve been given the job of town sheriff by the locals. Complete surprise to me, I assure you. But not an unwelcome one. It’s given me the opportunity to do some investigating and as far as I can tell the residents are exactly as they seem—completely unaware of us as strangers. I’m not entirely convinced that this isn’t some kind of advanced holographic program. Regardless, I’m going to continue looking into the town and see if it can help us find out a solution to the Ghost Line. Or, at the very least, point us in the direction of the person or entity who constructed it. In the meantime, I could use some help. Normally I’d reach out to my crew members, but it appears that only one of them arrived here with me and, well, he’s not exactly the man I knew. (No offense, Spock. I’m sure you’re just as logical as the version of you from my universe.) What I’m trying to say is that I have a few extra badges in the office here. If anyone wants to be deputized, let me know.
And for those of you who have found yourself in unexpected careers in Dunwich—maybe we could create a kind of information network with each other. I’ve been subtly questioning the locals here at the station. No one has shared anything too useful yet, but you never know! I’m optimistic. Also if any of you find yourselves in a scrape with local law enforcement, give me a call. I’ll see what I can do.
On a semi-related note, I’m on the hunt for individuals interested in scouting some of the terrain outside of town. If you’re keen, drop your name so I can make a list.
[ooc note: deputy job requires AC career fulfillment]
