( video ) uns: maxwell & jtk | thesa : ready up
[ Video greetings from Jim Kirk and Duo Maxwell, who are both in what looks like one of the various tech rooms on Thesa Station. The only lights are emergency ones and glittering bits from the computers themselves. In the background, the blaring sound of an alarm siren is audible, though it's been muffled in here (possibly by someone disconnecting the speaker or shoving a sock over it, who knows).
Jim begins: ] As you're aware, the Natha left Thesa a few weeks ago, and the station has been in a state of low-power ever since. Stable, just running quieter. Today, though - [ he thumbs over his shoulder. ] Full-on emergency mode.
[ Here's where the braided pilot finally chips in, looking away from the screen he’s been typing and swiping away at in the background, throwing his braid over his shoulder with his typical candor, blue eyes finally turning to the camera to look at it instead of rudely staring off to the side to see what he could diagnose. ]
So, from what I can gather there’s nothin’ going on with the ship that would typically trigger emergency mode like this. Electricity is as stable as it’s gonna get, the shields are all up and there’s nothin’ within immediate range of the ship that the sensors show as a threat.. [ Duo pauses, clicks a few more buttons with a crease in his brow of concentration - ] .. so, yeah, there’s no obvious reason this is happening other than maybe the fact the Natha are gone for ..
[ A flick of a hand. ] .. Whatever they’re gone for.
But… [ There’s some weight to this, and that usually jovial or smirking face is dead serious as he looks back to the screen. ] .. all the training equipment is stuck in a conflict mode to teach people how to fight. Both physical combat as well as the flight modules for people who want to be that eager about it.
If anyone has any experience or clearances for the Natha’s mobile suits there’s training modules for that, and I’d be happy to offer to let you go against my mobile suit with the promise I’ll treat ya nice and gentle. [ Duo grins in that cocky way again, turning to Jim as if saying he’s done from here. ]
Following that, [ Jim says, exchanging a look with Duo, ] if anyone has spacecraft or advanced computer experience would like to come and be briefed on the situation, you're encouraged to do so, in case something happens to necessitate defending Thesa. [ The worry isn't just Thesa itself, of course, but the people asleep up here. ] I know most of us are focused on what's happening with the potential for a resurrected dragon, and this is horrible timing. Hopefully it'll remain a preventative measure up here.
Thanks.
[ Duo gives a little bit of a ‘saluting’ motion, though it’s clearly not military grade before turning back to his screens. ]
Looks like we’ll do best to be prepared on both fronts – everyone better be ready.

You do if this ship can only take so much. Otherwise you play the game of whether you suffocate or starve first. [ Which is a much worse fate than he possibly even wants to think about. It's not nice - it's brutal, in fact, but in some ways it's fairly cut and dry for Duo.
He's set on surviving, whether that means stepping on people along the way or not.
Still, he snorts at Prompto's bit of optimism. ]
Wish I could think that way, Prompto. But a dragon's a dragon and any one I've ever seen is violent as hell. Granted, that was movies, so...
[ A shrug. Not a very good thing to base things off of shit like high fantasy films, he thinks. ]
How far can you really protect people on the ground from a dragon, though? At least for a duration longer than a few days, maybe? We don't have options other than scattering in to other areas but then you risk the logistical nightmare of not knowing the wildlife or the resources available in all those different scattered areas.
It ain't like Earth where we've got a general over view. Shit - we just found out about Khalo.

If the Station doesn't work, there's..there's got to be other places they could go, right? There has to be somewhere that dragon can't get to. And if we can't figure something like that out...
[ He nods to JIm. ]
If you think you can run a sim, might be worth a try.

(Someday somebody'll ask him why he's working with teenagers half the time here, but, look: he was a genius teenager, so everyone can eat it, tbh.) ]
I'll do that, [ he assures Prompto. ] In fact I might as well boot something up right now. I'll let you both know how it turns out.
[ He throws Duo a thumbs up and exits the video feed. ]
