[Voice, locked to residents] --EMERGENCY--EMERGENCY--EMERGENCY--EMERGENCY--

[malnosso]

[At 2:15AM, the journals suddenly blare out an alarm, followed by this message.]

EMERGENCY. EMERGENCY. This is an emergency.

The following occupants of the Luceti enclosure must report to the teleporters in twenty minutes. You are required as reinforcements in Region 13. Bring all necessary armaments with you. You will be teleported directly into combat.

Anyone who fails to comply will be forcibly escorted to the teleporters by droids.

This is not a drill. I repeat: this is not a drill. You have twenty minutes.

[The message repeats twice more, the alarm continuing until the twenty minutes has elapsed. No questions will be answered.]

Teleporters

<sub>[ Kirk had been walking around, simply to expel nervous energy, nothing more. He wished it was a better kind of nervous. He wished he had his chair to sit in, his screens to better examine the data, to know what was coming or if not then make better, more logical guesses as to what. It didn't matter he wasn't really a captain down here. Didn't matter this wasn't his crew. It still made him uneasy...

He paused, seeing the glow around Krillin, thinking back toTrunks, and Vegeta - whom he had not seen in a long time, come to think of it. Of course, Krillin could be from a different world entirely. ]</sub>

You one of the guys with powers, I take it?

_{[ Conversation. Maybe that would ease things. ]}

[comicallyheroic]

Yeah.

[Krillin keeps stretching, looking at the newcomer with a neutral expression. He wasn't feeling much ki in the guy, but the gun strapped to his waist looked pretty high tech. Maybe some sort of space man or gunslinger.

I've trained with some of the greatest fighters in my world. I just hope I can make a difference out there.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He looked around at those gathered and he nodded. ]}

I think you might have more luck at it than me. I'm used to space ships, to be honest, not front-lines.

[comicallyheroic]

Maybe. But every soldier counts. [Krillin turns, smiling grimly.]

I just hope the stuff Vegeta programmed for me to train against was accurate.

[universal_charm]

Knowing him? Probably. He probably set them to maximum "try and kill you levels" too. He never seemed like a guy who would get a kick out of "we might just take you prisoner" kind of levels in the sims.

[comicallyheroic]

Yeah, that's not his style. Guess they're accurate enough.

[The little guy offers a hand.]

I'm Krillin.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He took it and gave a firm shake. ]}

James T. Kirk, though everyone calls me Kirk. Or Jim if you're Thor.

Nice to meet you, Krillin. So, you a Saiyan like Vegeta? Or did you just meet him here?

[comicallyheroic]

I'm human, but from the same world as Vegeta. Different planet, but same universe.

[He shrugs.]

Known him a while now. But I grew up with Goku.

[universal_charm]

Goku... Oh yeah, I've talked to him a couple of times too. Man, the Malnosso must really like whatever mojo you guys are working with on your planet.

_{[ He shook his head. ]}

Does everyone have crazy powers where you come from?

[comicallyheroic]

[Krillin rubs the back of his head self-consciously.]

No, not everyone. Just the people who've trained with the right teachers.

[universal_charm]

That's kind of a relief.

_{[ He laughed a little bit and cracked his neck. ]}

I wish they would tell us something already...

[comicallyheroic]

They will. Or...they won't and we'll be less than useful.

[He shrugs, mentally closing down and trying to focus on the future and the upcoming fight.]

Good luck out there, Kirk.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He nodded. ]}

You too, Krillin. Maybe after this you could show me how to do the energy-glow thing? Vegeta's a bit to rough of a teacher for me.

_{[ He grinned at him, a reassuring grin, the grin a captain gave to his crew to tell them it would be all right, they just had to get through the horse-crap first to get to the green field beyond. He waved and headed off}
