[Jonathan appears on screen, floating in place in the space station.]

Hey, everyone. I don't know how many of you are still watching this Big Brother thing, but to those of you who were watching when the feed cut out and might be worried, I just wanted to let you know that we are not dead. The ship got attacked by some kind of drone, but thanks to Poe's steering and Odin and Riptide destroying that thing, we're all okay.

And to those of you who weren't watching, please ignore this. Everything is perfectly fine and uneventful up here.

[Wanda looks, feels, and sounds like shit, but she has to reply to this. Peter is up there.]

You've got an interesting definition of "perfectly fine and uneventful". Is everyone accounted for? [JUST DOUBLE CHECKING.]

[drivesadesk]

Yeah, everyone's accounted for. See?

[He does a quick camera turn to show everyone in the main area of the station.]

[ from somewhere behind Jonathan, Odin propels off the wall and floats over to poke him in the side. ]

Tell them how cool me and Riptide were. You left that part out? You barely mentioned me by name, actually. You should be saying, like, "Odin and Riptide - handsome (Odin especially) and brave (Odin especially) heroes, untouched by fear, saved all life on earth via their handsome and brave heroics. Odin especially."

I should've been in charge of this announcement.

[drivesadesk]

Hey!

[He tries to bat away the finger, but he reacted too late, and Odin got the poke in.]

Most people didn't even get mentioned! Besides, I'd have described your epic heroism, but I was off getting space suits for everybody and getting tools ready in case we got a hull breach.

Re: action

[shadowglitter]

[ Gahaha, victory! Odin laughs like he's the best, having gotten away with that poke. Life is good. Even with aliens and/or Russians trying to drone-murder them in space. ]

Okay. Yes. Yes, okay, you're a good guy and you did really good and you were great and you're the best. But. But.

That's a coward's excuse? I want everyone to fall in love with me for being a badass.

[riptide is currently outside in space, but presses his face against the closest window to where odin is.

he says something. can't hear it in person, but his voice comes through odin's comm. cool having one in your brain bro]

You almost set me on fire! In a vacuum!

Re: action

[shadowglitter]

[ He's still not getting used to that. God damn. He needs to replace his phone already. ]

I've literally set you on fire before. You didn't complain then! Why are you complaining now?! It was radical!

Thank Primus you're okay! I was worried when it didn't come back on.

You are okay, right? Everyone? Riptide? Tell Riptide I'm proud of him, okay?

Re: [Video]

[knaval]

Thanks, Teeg! I bet you would've looked really cool too!

Re: [Video]

[itcanwait]

Riptide!

I'd try to at least!

[Video]

[drivesadesk]

Yep, everyone's okay.

[And he's leaving it at that, because he sees Riptide's response.]

Re: [Video]

[itcanwait]

I'm really glad!

[incogneto]

Does the ship need repairs?

Are there injuries?

[drivesadesk]

We're fine. We're a little roughed up from being tossed around when Poe engaged the thrusters, but we're good. And the ship's fine, too. I brought some tools because I wasn't really sure how well human engineering would hold up, but everything seems to have come through okay.

Re: video

[incogneto]

Good.

Do you have pieces of the drone? Why wasn't it detected?

[momchester]

I'm glad everyone's alright.

Man, you guys are having a way more interesting day than I am.

[drivesadesk]

Well...yeah. Yeah we are. But hey, no one would watch if nothing exciting ever happened up here, right?

[Even though the cameras had cut off for this, so technically, no one had been watching them.]

video;

[momchester]

So was it as exciting as it sounds?

[With the tone of someone who knows first-hand that real life rarely is. Car crashes aren't awesome, they're all snapping necks and peeing yourself. Shooting a gun is less badass when the recoil makes you spaz and your eardrums blow out. ]

video

[onlydoubts]

Doesn't sound "uneventful and perfectly fine", but... everyone's alright, yeah?

video

[drivesadesk]

Yeah, everyone's all right.

video

[onlydoubts]

Oh, good. Glad to hear it. Thought it was a little odd you all went off for a while.

[functusofficio]

I'm very grateful for the update.

[ And she really, really is, looking slightly shaken. Luke, please stop being in bad situations. ]

video;

[drivesadesk]

Yeah, glad to keep people informed.

[He notices that she looks shaken, but decides not to comment on it.]

video;

[functusofficio]

There were no injuries?

[ Just. Double checking, here, until she can get in touch with Luke. ]
