[He's overdue for this, it's true. But Tony has been poking around before committing to an introduction. He doesn't rush in quite as recklessly these days thanks to his time with SHIELD. Trying to think more like a spy has paid off in that sense. He connects to the MID, sending his image using a camera that does not look attached to his arm. In fact, it seems to be showing a full body shot, with the camera somewhere across the room.]

My name is Tony Stark. For those who know me, I'm declaring this an emergency in neutral space. Everyone is an ally out here unless you prove otherwise.

For those I haven't met, I'd be happy to change that. Since we're all working together on this problem it doesn't hurt to make more friends. I'm sure everyone has the same goal right now and the more we work together, the faster it will go.

That said, if there's anything I can do for you, let me know. I'm guessing some of us might have arrived a little worse off than others. Just look me up if you need a hand.

[ Open To All ]

Good evening, crew. I have a few announcements to make on behalf of myself and the other captains.

First. I would like to thank our Morale Officer for doing her job to the best of her ability as we have noticed a positive increase in mood through the reports sent to the ship via your MID devices. Thank you for your service.

[Better vitals and increased levels of endorphins show that the crew, as a whole, will start to feel less stressed, happier, and some will be abundantly happy.]

We would also like to thank everyone for their good service. Supplies are being gathered rather swiftly, and we should have everything we need within a few weeks. Now that we are all well on our way to having completed a successful trip, I need to ask for assistance.

Each transporter holds six passengers, and we don't require a large party, so I need five volunteers to go on a small planetary excursion with me.

Thank you again.


[ Closed To Thán's Group ]

[The five volunteers will be asked, via their MIDs, to be on the transporter on the morning of the eighth. They will be strapped in, and the events will be explained as follows by their Captain Thán. The group will be landing a few miles outside of where the Marketplace will be discovered during the first exploratory excursion. They will be taken to a no longer used mining facility, their captain stating that this planet's main resource, Exuo, is a priceless mineral found nowhere else in the universe.

It is mined by the natives and sold in varying forms, rock (natural state), powder, liquid, and its applications are endless; foods, drinks, etc. As the transporter descends slowly to their destination, Thán will tell them that they are here to find some Exuo of their own and that they will not leave until each member of the group has some to take back. He will mention, offhandedly, that Exuo is a tradeable resource that is of high value and can be kept for personal use or traded for almost anything.

As the transporter doors finally open, Thán will lead them out and into the mine, a large and rusty door opening, their only light source the devices on their wrists.]

[ OOC ]

[All members of Thán's group may comment to this log at any time. Here is a top level comment for anyone that wants to thread this excursion out with Thán. It starts on the eighth, but threading can begin whenever.]

[The sign-up list is here, just respond to the first comment if you want your character to go on this NPC guided planet excursion (then hit this post up if you are one of the group). The transporters have room for six, so the first five will be going with their captain. Direct questions here. We would like people to sign up that will relay this information on to other crew members.]
