003 ☄ video;
[ Kirk flips the video on the phone, and it's clear that the young Captain has gotten anything but actual sleep in awhile. He reaches up and runs a hand down his face. ]
It looks like things have settled down for now, but, I don't think we should relax too much. I'm sure all of you don't need to be reminded that we're at war. We should be prepared at all times for something like last week to happen again. For the people who have been here from the start, this is probably old news. So, let me give you some new news.
[ He sets the phone down on the desk he's at, hands on the surface and leaning on it to look down at the screen. ] I'm going to be starting a series of projects. It's time we make headway in this war and get people home. I know Commander Shepard has a militia, so that's a start. We need to focus on the rest of it. The only way we're going to get anywhere is if we're all working together.
[ Kirk gives a sigh and shakes his head. He's exhausted. ] I'm going to be making a guide to the city. I'm surprised we don't have one yet. This guide is going to be something we can hand out to anyone who shows up here. It'll give the basics of what's going on, the who is who, but I'd also like it to include what we're doing. Businesses, organizations, anything that is going to help someone settle in. Who is hiring, who needs the help, where they can go for medical needs. All of that. So, if you guys can send me the information of your businesses or services, I'll make sure to include it. I'll be sending it out to everyone once it's completed.
[ Then he looks up at something, possibly a view screen on board the Enterprise. ] Next? I think we need to start getting into this city and finding out what the hell is actually going on. Beings, no matter their race, don't attack people just because they can. There is always a reason behind it. We need to start exploring this city, gathering information, and sharing it between all of us. There's obviously something in the Underground if the army came from there and there's gotta be more to this spaceport than ruins and some working docking ports. Anyone who is interested let me know. We'll figure out who works with what and who, then meet up at some point in the future to share what we've found.
[ He reaches forward and grabs the phone. ] Most of us have something we need to get back home to. I don't believe in just sitting around and waiting for things to happen. Otherwise we're just going to end up stuck here as long as they want us to be. Let's get home. [ He pauses and nods to himself. ] Kirk out.
