Hey. Good afternoon everyone.

I need two things.

Specifically where you'd find good chinese food around here. Recommendations for that sort of thing, because my cooking skills are not as developed as I thought they were. Or if I had any skills in cooking at all, having to survive off lizards and shews and t-rex eggs probably have dulled my taste buds a little too much.

The other thing is that I'd really like to get access to fabrication technology, but since none of it exists here I'd have to build it myself.

Which brings me to asking for help. Building tech like that is doable and will ultimately lead the way to constructing more high tech parts that we can use for basically anything.

I'm looking for a few people interested in engineering, experienced or not. I can probably teach you.

Third thing, sorry. I also need to know if anyone's built a forge here.

Oh and fourth thing. Is there a working theory on the motivations of the people behind this prison program?

That's about it. Get back to me if you're interested. Should keep us busy if nothing else.

[He is way more comfortable with hypothesis, why can't they have those? Having no answers just feels wrong.]

Good point, and I'll concede that.

I guess I'll just have to make a forge too. Shouldn't be terribly difficult. [Really, he's going to just build a forge at this point.]

Hm, I almost prefer Gertrude at that point. [Yes, he named the T-rex.]

And makes me wish they'd let me have my suit.

BTW, I'm Ray.

	[ He's right there with you, Ray. It makes his stomach do odd twists that are quite uncomfortable. ] I can't see the new Wardens putting up much of a fuss if you do, so by all means. Does your suit do something special? Ah, Jim - Jim Kirk. Nice to meet you, Ray. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are you okay with fourth walling, or... pocket_sized 2017-05-09 09:45 pm UTC (link)
	[It's horrible isn't it? It's like why do they have to act like that? Rude is the only word that adequately describes it. He is about to answer but that name distracts him, his mind going to a dead stop. But he looks nothing like shatner! Okay Ray, just be polite as with Jack. Just remind yourself, next gen was better.] Well, it, uh, shrinks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Go for it ~ universal_charm 2017-05-09 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	[ He recognizes that reaction. Reid had it too, at first, but he doesn't say anything about it, just in case he was wrong. And then he would leave a really bad impression with Ray. And excuse you, he's much better than that bald tea lover-! Who... doesn't exist yet in his time so it's a moot point. ] Shrinks? You could just get it tailored, you know.

Oh gosh.

[And focusing on the science. Oh god this is the reboot Kirk isn't it? Those dramatic pauses are all but completely absent.]

No, like... [He makes a gesture of big to small with his hands.]

As in when I call the suit the 'ATOM' it's not just a name. I'm pretty sure I can examine the atomic world if I had enough power, and enough courage.

Not quite ready to see what a quark looks like up close.

[Which is such an insult to canon, man. But seriously, not a TOS man. He kinda did like the first reboot for the hot mess it was.

Why is he internally nerd raging? IT's KIRK! Part of him actually wants to mess with Kirk and pretend he's a member of star fleet as well. He could pull it off too.]

Somehow shrinking isn't the strangest thing you've heard? Never seen tribbles before, have you?

_{[ Again, a pause, considering something as he looked upon Ray. There was something that said he shouldn't quite believe him, especially given his interactions with Reid. ]}

Oh really? That must have put business off. They just get into everything, you know.

_{[ He wasn't going to correct him on the name of the planet being Risa. Let's see how much he knew... ]}

	[Totally mispronounced that, but he hasn't watched it in a while. Did play STO for a few weeks after launch but-- You know, CEO.] Little bit, yeah. I heard the climate systems were shot for a few days too. Rain in paradise? That's no fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, you know, it did start out as a jungle planet with a lot of rain. _{[ He crosses his arms, maybe onto your game Ray, and maybe not, though he is amused by whatever it is they're dancing around right now. ]} (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-05-15 02:00 am UTC (link)
	[Totally stating the obvious there, buddy. He can dance all day. He shrugs slightly and smiles a friendly smile.] Well, yeah. At least the tribbles make a decent Klingon repellent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2017-05-15 02:22 am UTC (link)
	_{[ Oh that's cute little twenty-first century boy. ]} Repellent might not be quite the right word. They certainly make them angry, that's for sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He's a genius who can modify 22nd century tech flawlessly. He could probably learn how to be chief engineer in two hours. Also reboot canon sucks.] What, you think they want tribbles? They'll avoid it like the plague. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

_{[ Very cute. You tell that to Scotty and Jaylah and let's see where that goes. Or Spock. GOD he would love that. Just grab the popcorn and take bets.

Lies, you just said you loved it like four seconds ago. ]}

No, see, that's a critical misunderstanding of the Klingon. They won't avoid it - they'll hunt it down and destroy it. Avoiding it is akin to cowardice and I do not suggest accusing any of them of that - ever.

	[You totally just red shirted him. Dammit, he was having fun with this. It's a love hate relationship. It's complicated.] Which is why I'm a physicist and not in command. Which would be true if I were in Star fleet, but I'm not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_{[ No, that's not his season of this show. ]} A lot of people. Kind of depends on where you come from, though I can't say I don't appreciate the ego stroking. [ Unknown space you get used to no one knowing your name or what you look like. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-05-15 04:06 am UTC (link)

	[He does drop the occasional innocent innuendo without realizing it. He chuckles softly.] So I'm not actually from your Earth, your world. I just kinda know a lot about it. I should have known that detail about the Klingons for instance, but it's been a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I thought you might not be, but if you aren't, then that means I'm - what? A fictional character in your world?

_{[ Yeah, he had been alerted to this by some other encounters. It was unpleasant, a bit of a mind-fuck, really, but what had been the point in arguing about it? He knew his own existence, and he refused to fall into some sort of existential crisis over it. ]}

It's that, or you know the other me, and from what I've heard I'm prettier.
