[ Bruce greets the camera with a cordial smile, there and gone, replaced with a somewhat tired and worried look. ]

Hi, Moira. Bruce Banner, for those of you who don't know me, and I'm the Chief Science Officer on board. In light of our current situation, I've been working on a number of devices to be placed on the surface of the planet, that once activated will link together and create a barrier around the planet. It will work as a kind of shield that would effectively make it impossible for any ship to dock on the planet, or for anyone to go down to the surface.

I've talked to the captains about this, and we're going ahead with the project. Needless to say that this is incredibly time-sensitive, and while so far everything's going smoothly and the results are promising, I could use as many people with the necessary knowledge involved in this as possible. Science officers on board are working exclusively on this right now, and I'm contacting a few people that I know have the knowledge necessary to help, but if anyone else thinks they have what it takes to join in, drop me a line.

This is a serious request. Don't waste my or anyone else's time, please.

[ Not that he thinks anyone would, but just covering his bases, in case there's some prankster or smartass on board. ]

I'll also need people to place the devices down on the surface of the planet. It's a fairly simple process so no need to have any kind of knowledge about how the machines were built or how they work, so long as you can handle the weight with relative care.

Another note— [ He pauses, presses his lips for a moment. ] Along with a holographic map of our journey, I've been putting together an information file about our current situation, to be delivered to all the new arrivals as they come in. Things I'd like to cover include: where we are, how or why we're here, who here can help them with certain fundamental needs, a rough overview of varying timelines and parallel universes, as well as a general overview of what's happened so far. I'm also planning to include the information regarding the Space 101 lesson that's held after each wave of new arrivals, to those that might need it. There's no guarantee everyone will read it, of course, but it might cut down on the number of people asking similar questions time and again.

Furthermore, I've put together a file about my condition. At this point about half the ship already knows about it, but I'm posting it on public domain and making it available for anyone to consult at any time. This document will also be attached to the main information file when sent to all the new arrivals. For anyone interested in reading it now, follow the link.

[ Attached to the message, follows said link. ]

If anyone wants to suggest any information they think important to add to the main information file, let me know here. As for my personal file, I wrote it because I don't think keeping it a secret is feasible anymore, and even if it were I think it's safer for everyone here to know what they're dealing with, and avoid potentially dangerous situations. I'm not going to write files on everyone on board or anything like that, don't worry.

[ He takes a deep breath, silent, shoulders lowering. ] That's it. Let me know if you have any questions about any of this.

[ And the feed cuts off. ]


(( ooc: details about the machines, how they work or how they're built will be handwaved on my end, since it's all technical gibberish and I don't have the necessary knowledge or the time/patience to go googling about it right now. SORRY. ))

[Everyone should be proud, she's just about got the hang of this MID thing.]

If you still require assistance, I would be happy to help place the devices, Dr. Banner.

[Will they be too heavy for her to carry? Who knows, but she isn't afraid to try. And she's been itching to do something about this mess. If she can help, she wants to.]

Also, I'm really fond of the idea of this database. It would have proven useful to me, I can only imagine what good it would do for others. [she's willing to help with that, too, actually. She played secretary for long enough, she's can certainly put files together.

And don't think for a second she didn't read that file about his "condition". Because she did. She's just electing not to bring that up. He may have shared it, but it seemed rather personal.]

[She's not average in the slightest, but super strength isn't among her skillset.]

Is there anything else you need help with, then? [Honestly, she doesn't even care what at this point. She just wants to do something.]

I'm already looking forward to it. How long do you think it will be before it's ready?

I'm no Stark, but with the right instructions, I'm sure I can manage. [she's being modest. She defused an explosive with brief instructions over the telephone. She's got this, no problem.]

Of course. I wouldn't expect otherwise. [There are certainly more important things going on right now.] If you need assistance putting the finishing touches to that, you know how to reach me.

I'm available now, if you're ready for me. [She doesn't know exactly how far along the devices are already. He may not actually need her just yet. If that's the case, she'll be ready for when she is needed.]

If I feel like it's missing anything, I'll be sure to make you aware. Sometimes another perspective is necessary for things of that nature. [Some things may be more obvious to others, she means. It's good for a group to come together so the information benefits everyone. Especially since so many timelines are involved.]
