[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.

OKAY OKAY OKAY dial down the dad voice

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
shiro2hero: (no burning down the Garrison!!)

This is text...

Yeah, but setting something ON FIRE is a little extreme. Even for someone who uses "horsepower" literally.
forgeabettertomorrow: (GHK!)

How was she supposed to know any of that? Did you tell her, before things caught fire?

The fire was kind of already an issue

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

So you show up talking to an alien from a technologically advanced world, by setting something on fire.

And you're surprised she thinks you shouldn't be anywhere near tech.
