Hi everyone, Shepard here.

Just wanted to make sure everyone's aware: the crew has managed to secure an incredibly rare drink from the hosts, and is passing it out amongst ourselves. Trust me, you're going to want to make room for this one! In a word? Life-changing.

[Wait. That was two words. There's the briefest of pauses before she continues, undaunted:]

If you see one of us with the bottle, just flag us down. We're very happy to share! [Insistent, even.

There's a beat, and then with just a hint of a smile:]

And to anyone who's already had a chance to sip this miracle nectar: Nate's probably not going to say anything, but you might find that he already did.

Over and out.

[OOC: Shep is cajoling people into antidote drinking over HERE at the event log!]

[He snorts.]

Yeah, well, keep trying. I'm not a golden man or a raging slime zombie, thank goodness.

[squadgoals]

Not with that attitude!

Where are you from? Maybe I can find inspiration there.

[sketchycharacter]

Earth. Florida, generally. Yemen, before I came here.

[squadgoals]

Earthman.

Floridaman.

Yeman.

[sketchycharacter]

Those are all completely terrible. I love them.

[squadgoals]

I feel like we were talking about something else before I started making up action vid nicknames for you.

That said, I'm liking Earthman. Earthman Drake.

[sketchycharacter]

Yeah, but this is a better topic. Earthman Drake doesn't really make me stick out, though. A lot of people here are from Earth.

[squadgoals]

I don't know, it's got a good ring to it.

How about Spaceman Drake? It counts, because you're in space, now.

[beat;]

Sir Spaceman Drake.

[sketchycharacter]

Oh, please. I'm no knight. You don't need to inflate my ego.

[squadgoals]

Wasn't aware there was any more room for it to inflate.

Was Sir Francis Drake a knight?

[sketchycharacter]

Yep. Knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 1581.

[squadgoals]

Wow. Looks like you've got some catching up to do, then. Think they have knights in space?

[sketchycharacter]

Probably not, unless you think bad sci-fi movies are real.

[squadgoals]

Hey, I'm not jumping to any conclusions. Just because they don't have knights in my space doesn't mean they don't have them at all.

That said, probably best to just leave it at Spaceman Drake — a name practically made for a children's vid series. I'm sure your adventures have all been very family-friendly.

[sketchycharacter]

I suppose that depends what kind of family you have.
