( 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.

What else should I say? We've already had a few missions together.
[Or like, one official one. The rest was just horsin around.]
I don't blame you for that. [What is this...is this like when you go to a job interview and the interviewer mentions you're 1 out of 100 possibilities?] How's it working out?
no subject
Dude it ain't an interview. If you've got someone to pilot with or the Natha's clearances or whatever, get your ass up here. [ Duo laughs lightly, probably thinking about himself running interviews or something equally inane and stupid in this entire ramp up. Something that entertains him for at least the time being. ]
Surprisingly, not a lot of people who want to fly these tandem fliers, and some that can pilot worth a damn. Over all, might be a skin of our teeth type thing if there's threat from above and below.
If you want my threat assessment, anyways.

So in other words, we'll be making up for other people on top of everything else.
[A beat.]
I'll be there soon.
no subject
Probably, yeah. Which isn't the most encouraging thing in the world, but it's what we've gotta be prepared for, worst comes to worst.
[ And he'd rather be prepared than not, by a long shot. Over prepared was better than scrambling, even, if things happened in tandem with the dragon and anything possible out here in space. ]
Sounds like a plan.
If you have any issues radio up - station's been having intermittent power problems.
no subject
Is that messing with your phone? [It's...a logical thing to assume, but it may be better to contact Duo privately in the future.] Just -- expect me to show up.
[Like Paul Revere something fierce.]
no subject
Not that I've noticed, but that doesn't mean it can't eventually. [ He wasn't sure how the Natha did two thirds of the things that they did, including bringing his massive mobile suit back to this world. ]
Will do. See you soon.
