[There is the sound of buttons being a bit haphazardly mashed, and some slight shuffling. Eventually, there is a quiet 'oh', and the video flickers to life and reveals a handsome young man, dressed in a tight-fitting t-shirt and sweat pants.]

Sorry, folks, I'm still trying to figure out how things work around here. [He gives a little sheepish smile and ducks his head, before glancing back to the camera.] Uh. Hello, I'm Captain Steve Rogers. Some of you might know me as Captain America. I'm from Brooklyn, New York, and I was told that you could use my help up here.

There's not -- a lot for me to do at home right now, so here I am. [A little pause.] Though if anyone could catch me up on -- current events, back home, it'd be appreciated.

Sure. Are there little green men and rockets?

[captain_jtkirk]

Actually most aliens aren't green. There's some blue ones... and a lot look mostly like us. And they're starships not rockets.

[thestarspangledman]

Mostly?

...Starships. Do they, um. Look like this one?

[captain_jtkirk]

Well Vulcans for example, have pointed ears and green blood but otherwise look human.

And... No. Not really. My ship doesn't at least.

[thestarspangledman]

[He frowns a bit, but is listening intently.]

What's yours like?

I -- sorry. This still feels a bit like a science fiction novel.

[captain_jtkirk]

I get that a lot.

[As for what Enterprise looks like, have a picture on the screen. It's easier that way.]

[thestarspangledman]

[A little blink, and a low whistle.]

She's something.

[captain_jtkirk]

Her name's Enterprise. She's Starfleet's flagship right now.

[thestarspangledman]

Impressive. I can't say I ever actually flew anything other than a few planes.

[captain_jtkirk]

You'll probably get a chance to change that here.
