First Ranger Key

[sumofallreds]

[Video of a very familiar pirate ship appears, showing someone very different than Gai. He's busy at the console, typing away.]

Urgh. How does Doc remember this complicated sequence for the radar?

[He types some more, his face looking more and more frustrated as he does so. Finally he slams his hand down on the console, looking up at the screen...and noticing the ducks for the first time. He'll look confused for a second, as this is quite new. He'll start thinking about how the hell this happened.]

It can't be from me. Doc wouldn't pull pranks like this, and Luka doesn't have the technical know-how TO pull it. Joe and Ahim are out of the question....

[And then his face goes as red as his coat.]

GAI! GET YOUR BUTT UP HERE AND EXPLAIN THIS!

[Jin is busy looking down at his plans for the Great Go-Buster and doesn't realize the community is up.]

Oi, who's barking orders at my army of techs...

[Now he looks up.]

Oh. Hi.

[sumofallreds]

[Marvelous will look cock-eyed at the man on his screen.]

Is this your doing? I don't take kindly to my ship being hacked.

[boostup4beetbuster]

No, and trust me, it's not the best time for me. Trying to put together a Megazord, and the rest of my team's in trouble out there. [He looks at another screen.] Oi, Ryuji! Your deepest desire is for me to do what to you?

Anyway, I'm Jin. Beet Buster, part of the 36th Super Sentai. Guessing by the pirate ship and the red that you're Marvelous?

[sumofallreds]

36th? What kind of nonsense is this?

[He may not now much, but he knows there's no other teams fighting Zangyack right now.]

If you are, then how are we talking? You'd obviously have to be from the future, and you don't look like a TimeRanger to me.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, we're from 2012 Neo AD. So I guess a little after you, or maybe toward the tail end of what you're doing? I'm kind of shaky on anything between now and 1999.

The community pulls all that time travel stuff and alternate worlds and everything. You should talk to your man Gai. We've already met.

[sumofallreds]

I don't really know your planet's calendar anyway.

[And likely won't care to learn it to be honest.]

Oh I plan to. He's the first one I want to talk to about...this.

[He'll gesture at the screen. Hopefully Jin will take it.]

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, sounds like things got messy about 12 years ago. Missed that one.

Anyway, go easy on the kid. He didn't put this on the computer--it shows up on its own. Although, now with two of you guys on, I wonder how long it'll be before the rest of you guys get access.

[sumofallreds]

If you're referring to Zangyack...yeah. It's a mess all right.

He's still a newbie. Gotta put him through the paces, no matter the situation.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Our planet's been under constant attack since the '70s. It's hard to tell what's messier.

Gotcha. Yeah, he'll learn eventually. I know I've got to be tough on J.

[wildmelody]

[Whoa, first Gai then Marvelous. The Super Sentai keep piling up.]

Huh, we've got another new person from our world on the community now? Awesome.

[sumofallreds]

Community?

[That's something he's never heard of.]

Well, though I am here on your planet, I'm not from it.

[wildmelody]

Yeah its an interdimensional magic community.

Well, from our unique universe in general I mean. There's a lot of people in our world from our world or around it.

[sumofallreds]

Magic, huh? Never seen magic that affects computers before.

Oh...that kind of 'world'. I think I get the gist of it.

[wildmelody]

Yeah, it's the easiest explanation really. Since it shows up on anything really.

Yeah, there's a bunch of people here from across time, and there's a lot of others in our world.

[sumofallreds]

Anything, huh?

[He's now expecting to hear Navi start spouting even further nonsense.]

Ugh. Sounds complicated.

[wildmelody]

Anything. Books, TVs, computers, I heard someone once filmed from a rag actually.

[Navi would be honestly hilarious.]

It kinda is to be honest, but our timeline is all messed up.

[sumofallreds]

A...rag.

[Someone will keep that in mind, I'm sure. Meanwhile, he's going to be looking around the room suspiciously.]

That's exactly the reason I don't like using TimeRanger's stuff. Seems like something could somehow go very wrong. And easily.

[do_it_ecstatically]

I didn't do it!

[And Gai's going to find Marvelous and hope he isn't TOO angry!]

[sumofallreds]

Then, if you're so innocent, do you mind EXPLAINING it? This isn't exactly proper programming for my ship.

[do_it_ecstatically]

Ohh... um... that's... the community. It's call... "Drama Drama Duck" and we're stuck with it. I thought one of you guys had put it on before!

[sumofallreds]

Does it LOOK like something that belongs on a space pirate ship?

[Gai...it's got ducks!]

[do_it_ecstatically]

Hey, you guys had it longer before I came here! Maybe Ahim-san would have liked it?

[Goofy sheepish grin here! He's grasping at straws!]

[sumofallreds]

[He'll snort and gesture back at it.]

No Gai...this isn't ours. I don't think that I'd allow something that lets random people from all over creation just call the ship, or it transmit.

[do_it_ecstatically]

Mmm, good point. Then again, with the people I've seen so far, it does make sense...

[sumofallreds]

If you're talking about the so-called 'genius' and his annoying robot buddy...we've met.
