[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.

There are a lot of different kinds of technology aboard, some of it sentient and some not. You may have to take it on a case-by-case basis.

Looks like you're settling in pretty well.

Hello!

It is a pleasure to meet you, my lady! I am Reinhardt Wilhelm. Formerly of Overwatch.

[A fuzzy, former prince of monsters pops up on the screen.]

Howdy, princess Allura! It's nice to meet you, I'm Asriel!

...

Um, what's a Galra Empire?

[Pidge is turning on the video feed to reply, showing herself sporting a really rough looking set of headphones tapping away on a laptop as she speaks.]

It seems like we're pretty far out of reach of the Galra here, assuming we're even in the same universe as our own. We may be the only ones who know anything about it.

MONARCHY IS BOLLOCKS AND SO IS THE EMPERIAL SYSTEM
ANARCHY FOREVER

[honestly? bored in the medibay.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Because of course you're a princess.

[Hot. Damn.]

I have not heard of Galra, but I would not hearing about them if it allows me to listen more to that lovely voice of yours, princess.

[There is a spirit, floating in the middle of a hallway somewhere, STARING LOUDLY at seemingly nothing as she considers the post. Hmmmm]

Such an endeavour is ill-advised; the amount of time required to select representatives of each group would be unfeasible. Each major group contains smaller subgroups, which also contain their own variances within them. What classifications can be reached has a low probability of remaining. In short, the crew aboard this vessel changes at semi-random intervals and while one may meet a majority of the crew, there will no doubt be some who will remain absent or will abstain from such introductions.

video; I'm sorry in advance

Such courtesy! You're the first in a while to extend us Greetings.

[There is something a little off, even though it's warm with approval--something sharp and hard about the smile.]

Welcome, Allura. Is--is it Your Highness, or Your Majesty?

Gotta say, I am very interested in your plan to bring us all together. There are many factions here, and you may be just the one we need.

[She knows that feeling all too well, that hope that someone might just be from the same galaxy, that they would know and understand. Unfortunately, she can't really help there, but she can still lend an ear, alien to alien.]

It's nice to meet you, Princess Allura. I'm Ahsoka-- Ahsoka Tano. [She gives a small nod, trying her best to seem respectful. Even if this isn't Altea, this woman was still a princess.]

I think that's a great idea, having a meeting like that. It started before I got here, but several months back, there was a lot of hate between organics and nonorganics. Maybe something of that nature could help keep the peace?

[And since she feels it's only fair to let her know:]

And...sorry, I wish I could say otherwise, but I've never heard of Altea before. It must be from a different galaxy than mine.
