[By now, life aboard the Moira has likely adjusted everyone to a wide variety of strange, unusual characters. Still, with the crew being more or less predominantly human, the space elf who appears on the camera may look more like a fictional character than a real member of your crew. (Like, seriously? Look at that hair of hers. No one actually has hair that nice, do they??) However, she's quite real, as a number of crew members who have already met her can attest. She speaks with confidence and a charming accent.]
Greetings, crew of the Moira. As some of you know, I was among the new arrivals to this ship several weeks ago. However, now that I've learned more about this ship [and she's reasonably confident that it is not secretly owned by the Galra] it is high time that I introduced myself to you all properly: I am Allura, princess of the planet Altea.
[She does her best to smile, albeit awkwardly, as she continues:] However, for the time being, there is little need for such formalities. I will be taking the far more modest role of this ship's Veterinary Assistant. And please be assured, I will show your pets the same attentive care and respect as I do my own.
[But her expression shifts into a more serious one.] ... that being said, I haven't entirely abandoned my previous duties, either. One doesn't merely take a vacation from their birthright, after all.
As such, I would be interested in organizing a meeting with representatives of different groups aboard the ship. Other than humans, many of the races -- and robots -- that I have seen aboard this ship are entirely new to me. And even humans are relatively new to me, rather than an old affiliation of the Alteans. As such, I would relish this opportunity to learn about your kinds, and perhaps to forge new alliances.
[She hesitates for a moment here, as if she's not sure how frank she wants to be about this next part. This seems to be well outside the Empire, but...]
Additionally, if there is anyone -- anyone -- who has previously encountered the Galra Empire -- if you have suffered at their hands, or if your home is under Emperor Zarkon's dominion -- please contact me at your earliest convenience.

Re: [text]
So I guess youre one of her subjects? Youre Altean?

Re: [text]
Shes your princess but you arent Altean?
Did they conquer your country or something??

Re: [text]

She's our commander. Like she said. It's complicated -- and how much she wants other people to know is up to her.
Re: [text]
Im so exasperated I actually typed out my groan to show you how exasperated I am
Alright alright I get it its complicated
Well since youre my friend I guess Ill stop antagonizing her
[This is a lie. This is a bold faced lie. But he likes Shiro so he's at least going to try.]
[text]
Please do. I don't know what you have against her, but she's one of the bravest, selfless people I've ever met.
She deserves a little better than capslock.
Re: [text]
Royalty and I never really got along
I dont just arbitrarily hate people for no reason
also I dont know what a capslock is
seriously whats so important about your caps that you need to lock them up
[text]
... it's a technology term.
Re: [text]
Its not anything especially personal towards her but I dont trust royals so easily
Long story
Doubt youd really understand
[text]
Give her a chance. She's not even from Earth. For all we know, Altean Royalty could be elected, not inherited.
[Yeah though he doubts that, even from what little Allura and Coran have said. But damn it if he's going to let all of this just slide.]

come on shiro why you gotta assume

Re: [text]
wow privacy much

[Somehow, there's that tone of dad voice here. Despite it being text.]
Re: [text]
Yes there was a fire involved
BUT in my defense
I come from a world every advancement in technology is either magical which I am barred from learning thanks to royalty or is defined by literally adding more horses to it
First day on the job and mistakes are bound to be made
[text]
Yeah, but setting something ON FIRE is a little extreme. Even for someone who uses "horsepower" literally.
Re: [text]

Re: [text]
Like she and I made first contact when the fire was happening behind me
I kind of needed help and she suggested I scrub toilets
this is not constructive criticism
