[HERO]
[ooc: My previous entry is still game for encouraging comments to Ganymede, but in the meantime...]
[look, Olivia's back! well, maybe not quite. this might just be the Doctor using her saved image from his sphere and some clever voice modulation to make it appear that Olivia is addressing the sphere rather than Oliver, who is actually doing the talking. after all, if they know anything about the captain's sensabilities, it's that he has a weakness for a pretty face. unfortunately, the listener has to miss out on Oliver's rather dramatic hand gestures this time, but at least the fearful inflection in his tone should help make this quite a show]
Captain? Captain, are you there? I'm sorry to use your intercom like this, but I didn't know how else to contact you! I'm scared, captain. I haven't been on this ship for very long, and...and we're being shot at! And I know we have shields, but...I don't want to die, captain. And the other people here have been saying such odd things about you. They aren't true, are they? I read you were a decorated captain--four times, even! So you can't be what they're saying you are. You'll save us, right?
I know you know lots more about travelling in space than I do, but couldn't all that shooting push us off-course? Or strand us? I don't want to be lost in space! Is there anything we can do? Some way of stopping the shooting? Please, captain, I'm so scared. The shooting is so loud and so bright, and if it doesn't stop, I...[gasps, sobbing]...I don't know what I'll do. Can you help me? Please, make it stop!
