Time for the 'meat' and greet

[NOTE: This takes place DURING the holiday plot. If your character is involved in that, then they're still on the surface and not on the ship at this time.]

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers. After the revelation that their worlds are gone, many of them are even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Several people are set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings.

There's a lot to tell the new people. It's going to be a lot to take in.

[ooc: Only new characters and Command Staff can start new threads for introductions, to limit the number of threads. Everyone else, just tag in and have your guys greet the newbies. The mission is still going on, so if your character is offship, they won't be around for this.]

Kirk shook his head, "We're your crew now."

He gestured at the crowd filling the room, "All of us. We need each other if we're going to survive."

"Dahm-mit Djihm say tha-t too. Ahn-d th-en he go-t Fee-male."

Stoic. Jaded? Very. And yet cracked at the same time, for some bit of him despite the harsh truths, still tries. Tries to hope. Tries to hang on to the pieces he's got left.

Jim laughed, "Putting a woman before my crew and my ship? Well, that just doesn't sound like me."

He hoped. There had been times when his judgment was far from perfect. Still, he did his best to comfort the small creature, "We're all in this together now. One way or another."

"Eee...Mee-rrrai. She..." A webbed hand/paw skritched behind one of his two big ears. What was...Oh. Right.

"Oh-rrrrai-yin. Why is 'lot krrrit-terrr hee-rrre? Yeu noh ma-ke wearrr rrre-d?"

It sounds perhaps utterly ridiculous but "Red" to one who has never seen "red", has another sort of meaning. A cross-wiring of the senses scientists call Synesthesia, the reason why the creature touches Red. Smells Red. Hears Red.

The Enterprise however, taught him that Red means two things: You are expendable. And your life expectancy is zero.

Kirk blinked and then laughed, "No, I won't make you wear red."

He doesn't quite get the joke himself. After all, Mr. Scott wore red all the time. He gave the creature a smile and pushed back to his feet, "I've got to make sure other people get some help. It'll be alright."

"Eee. Rrr-ehd mean yeu go ah-way."

He never says the word "die" or "death", had learned early on that those words are bad words. Evil words, like the word "Goodbye" is an evil, life-taking word. Half-turning 'round, the critter poses a final question as the Human stands up.

"Yeu lea-ve so-me one be-hind?"
