[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.

[You poor bb, Steve. And his son is a troll :c]

I'd say so.

This place is going to be weirder than what you've been through, I'm sorry to say.

[thestarspangledman]

[He is. Stupid Tony. :C]

Oh, I dunno. Does this place have weapons that are supposedly powered by space rocks?

[captain_jtkirk]

[Be bros with Kirk instead :c]

No, just the kind of people that would build those weapons.

[thestarspangledman]

[Kirk will you punch things with him? :3]

Because HYDRA wasn't enough, clearly.

[captain_jtkirk]

[You bet, pal c:]

I don't even know what HYDRA is but it sounds menacing.

[thestarspangledman]

[Yeeeeah sparring partner!]

They were Nazis. Crazier than normal Nazis.

[captain_jtkirk]

[To be fair, Kirk fights like a bar monkey :c]

Those existed?

[thestarspangledman]

[A little confused blink.]

Nazis, or crazier Nazis? They both did.

[captain_jtkirk]

How much crazier?

[thestarspangledman]

They wanted to turn the human race into gods and destroy half the world to do it.

[captain_jtkirk]

Huh.

Thanks for adverting that, I suppose.

[thestarspangledman]

It wasn't just me who did it.

[captain_jtkirk]

Obviously, but you gave up a lot. [70 years man :c]

[thestarspangledman]

[That just gets a tired look from him.]

Not really. Not as much as some people.

[captain_jtkirk]

No, but not something insignificant either.

[thestarspangledman]

Yeah, well. [A pause, while he rubs the back of his neck.]

That's enough about the past for now.

[captain_jtkirk]

I can tell you abut the future?

[thestarspangledman]

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.
