[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.

Because he pissed me off.

Why else would you punch a robot.

... ... ...

... fair point, but -- you almost got us all killed because of it!

You can't solve your problems by running around punching everything. Especially not on a spaceship!

Sometimes I use a hammer.

...I didn't have my hammer that day. Actually, come to think of it, I haven't had my hammer since I got here.

Anyway, I'm getting off track.

The point is, he explained to me that I'd kill everyone on board, so I stopped. No harm, no foul. Geez, you gotta learn to relax a bit, Princess.

And what'a going to stop you the next time you endanger the ship?

[... hmm.]

Perhaps, rather than a new job, what you need is someone to monitor you.

What, like a mentor or a master?

See, that's an idea I can get behind. Sign me up!

More like a chaperone. Or a babysitter.

Nope. Nope, now you went and ruined it. Just for that, next time I'm at work I'm going to scissor kick the screen that displays vital read outs and diagnostics.

Seriously, aren't you a princess? Isn't it like...your job to not piss off the people who work for you?

Based on your track record? You were probably going to do that anyway.

...Well, I mean...when you've got super sweet moves like I do, it's hard to resist showing them off.

And that's why you need someone to help you resist. To act as your better judgment, since you don't seem to have it yourself.

[She takes a look off-camera. Darin won't see it, but the mice are on standby.] Maybe the green one...?

Yeah no. Thanks but no thanks, Princess.

Believe me when I say I know more about control than I think you could ever learn.

You believe you have better control than I do?! You joined the ship and immediately set things on fire, whereas I have actually been in control of a ship before! Both in terms of responsibility, as well as literally flying it through space!

[ALSO, SHE'S NOT THREATENING TO MURDER HIM RIGHT NOW. THAT TAKES, LIKE, SAINTLY SELF CONTROL.]

Oh, I guarantee I have more control than you.

Case in point: I'm not the one yelling right now~

Thaaaat's Darin: One. Princess Pointy Ears: Zero.

I'm not doing anything to deserve being yelled at!

Princess! Princess, please...!

Control yourself~

If I weren't in control of myself, you would already be punched through that airlock!

Oh man.

But wouldn't that kill us all?

That doesn't sound very princess-like.

What with the genocide.

Which is why I'm not doing that.

But I could follow the proper steps to throw you out.

You could, but you won't.

And do you know how I know why?

Because then you'd be proving me right about the whole royalty thing.

And there's no way your pride would ever let yourself prove me right.

And I do believe that's match point.
