[Despite being relatively new to this form of communication, Mettaton finds himself easily starting a video, and his smile is both genuine and charismatic as he addresses the crew fully for the first time since he got here!]

Hello, beauties! Now that I've caught a free moment to myself, I thought I'd say hello to all of you at once and finally break in this old thing!

[He winks briefly. Everyone should consider themselves fortunate that he doesn't pose dramatically.]

My name is Mettaton, former shining robot star of the Underground! I's been nice meeting a few of you, and I hope that I can make very good friends with everyone else just as easily!

I would like to clarify my main position on the ship to everyone; I'm a Cybernetics Technician! Since that is not my forte, I humbly ask that if anyone has prior experience, would you be so kind as to share your knowledge? I assure you, I'm a quick learner!

[Being a bot has advantages.]

I think that's about all I wanted to say--oh, wait! Maybe I should let you know that I do not always keep to one form. I'm able to switch about freely, and while I prefer looking as fabulous as I am right now, that's not always possible. So if you see this--

[Here have a picture he drew of himself.]

--that's me too! It's more battery-friendly to be a beautiful box sometimes!

Okay, I think that covers everything! I'm sure I have something to do around here anyway~ Toodles, darlings!

They assigned you to be a cybernetics technician even though that's not your forte? Guess even robots aren't immune to being profiled, huh?

[mttbrandlegs]

Clearly not. It's a little bit aggravating, I'll admit it! But! I'm good at what I do, and this will be no exception, in time~

[Mettaton literally has the entire ocean's worth of salt running through his veins. What the hell kind of robot did he look like?! Manual labor is literally the worst!

But oh, does he try not to show how annoyed he actually is.]

[raiderp]

[The hypocrisy of Raiden profiling this robot for the same reasons is going to generously fly right over his own head.]

What do you do? [He made it sound like he was a celebrity or something wherever he came from.]

[mttbrandlegs]

I do entertainment, sweetheart. TV shows and the like! It's rather unlike what I've been hired for, as you can probably tell!

[He is a celebrity! Doesn't he look the part?? What about this pink-accented robot looks technical? Being a robot doesn't count.]

[raiderp]

Can't say I've ever met a box-transforming robot programmed for entertainment. [Just like he's pretty sure this is the first time in his life he's been called 'sweetheart' by a robot.]

Someone must have built you. Are they here? [Probably they should be the Cybernetics Technician, huh...]

[mttbrandlegs]

[Get used to it, friend. Mettaton's full of sweet words.]

I do pride myself on being unique!! Glad to know nothing's changed but the venue and the patronage!

Oh. Ah, as far as I know, the one who built me isn't here! But she's really rather good, the captains should have brought her here if they needed work doing with robotics. I'm sure she'd be great at it!! I mean she did create me, a robot with a soul!

[God, if only Alphys was here to listen to Mettaton complimenting her. It would be hilarious, she'd be flailing so hard.]
