My people have been given the run of the City Labs via my authority, Captain James Kirk of the USS Enterprise, at the discretion of the anonymous faction that rid the City of its former captors.

That means anyone who wants to get some actual work done can report here to sign up for the Starfleet Program. Physicists, engineers, sciences, medicine if you're interested in expanding your field — all the sections are going to be geared toward improving our technology and getting us out of here. I've had a look around and for twenty-first century restrictions, it's not too bad. Let me know who you are and what you specialize in, so I can keep track of who's going to be coming and going from the facility. You don't have to be a member of Starfleet to sign up for a job, but it's not exactly light work and if you're not a fan of doing things the hard way, I wouldn't bother. We might have to try building our own equipment from scratch, for that matter.

Oh, and does anyone know where I can get a cheap motorcycle from? Thanks. Also, Stiles, I've got some free time if you do.

Hey, I'd like to meet up with you when you're free. I need to go over a couple of things with you about the City, I'd rather do it in person.

You know, for a person who supposedly gives out orders, you're not very clear with your words.

Really? Because it feels like I'm having those words deliberately twisted.

If they're twistable, they're unclear.

No, it means you're trying to get a reaction.

You're not used to this, are you?

Are you going to pull my pigtails next? Just so I'm prepared.

I haven't decided.

I'm not asking you out on a date again, so don't get your peppy little hopes up. That starship has sailed. Gone. It's hit a black hole, to be honest.

Aw - and you said it was a friendly gesture.

This might come as a shock, but men and women can go on friendly dates. That's been a thing for a while now.

I know, I've been on quite a few of them. We just don't call them dates.

That is what they are, though, we covered this when I said I don't like dancing around the point. Or is your ego so engorged you think I'd ask out a girl based off her voice alone?
