Maybe, [ he says, the sound of his voice tinny even to his own ears, in these suits. Despite that, his tone is chipper. He's got his phaser on the outside of the dive suit, anyway, but he's hoping he doesn't have to use it. ] They're meant to work in water and in extreme temperatures, but every so often the chemical makeup of this environment or that will mess with them. This water could be made up of anything.

[ This is the answer I'm going with after consulting Memory Beta because while Prime timeline phasers probably wouldn't, Kelvin timeline tech is a little more advanced and ANYWAY

They're moving, making progress even if it's slow, and despite the dark, oppressive atmosphere, it's interesting. ]


It feels like what I imagine the earliest form of space walking would be.

My home planet's had it in at least a primitive form for about three hundred years, [ he says, ] and warp drive for about two hundred. My contemporary time is already considered something of a Renaissance with it.

[ Speaking of first space explorers. Jim laughs quietly. ]

Who wouldn't be worried about monsters? No one wants to get eaten.

[ He's always more worried about Romulans or accidentally starting a war, in practice, but he's been surprised by aggressive beasts on unfamiliar planets more times than really bears thinking about. ]

[ Jim's become adept at dealing with Vulcans, the most stoic, condescending, long-lived jerkwads in the Alpha Quadrant, so a little elitism from an energetic (young?????) woman is no problem at all. He likes Allura. ]

Are your ships for large crews, or are they one-man operations?

[ Seems there's an even wider variety of tech out there than even living beings, sometimes. ]

Mm. I'd like to think I still am, seeing as my job was to explore the galaxy and make contact with new worlds. There are two other Starfleet officers here, and my entire crew in stasis, so I'm just ... on a weird, long away mission.

[ A half dozen shimmery fish with neon eyes flit by, swirling near them then darting away. ]
