So who's in charge of keeping the power on around here? Cause I don't know if you noticed but the lights keep doing thi-

[He cuts off distracted as another well-timed pulse of darkness swept through the ship.]

That flickering thing. It's starting to get a liiittle freaky. [Not that he's scared or anything. Who would be scared of some silly lights.]

So maybe you could, I don't know, make it stop? That would be rad.

Hello, everyone. Miles here, with a few announcements.

I've recently been appointed Personnel Officer aboard the Moira. Handling crew concerns about job assignment and other sundry items is my primary responsibility, as is making personnel recommendations to the captains. If you have any concerns, or you'd like to discuss your current job assignment, or a potential one, I invite you to make an appointment with me or come by my office; it's next to the library. It has also come to my attention that Captain Than has been so thoughtful as to arrange a suggestion box outside my door, so make what use of it you will. For those of who are more accustomed to seeing me at the bar -- I'll still be working there part-time, but I now share the Beverage Dissemination Officer responsibilities with my co-Officer, the esteemed Jacky Faber, so if you don't see me, look for her.

To all crew who are just now joining us: welcome! Sorry about your involuntary conscription to the Moira work force, but at least the accommodations are nice, eh?

And if anyone was concerned about me during my...absence, I'm better now. Nothing to worry about.

Miles out.

[ miles was kind of dead for a week, if any of his CR wants to do something with that let me know! also please submit suggestions (complaints) the suggestions (complaints) box, make miles' job as difficult as possible, by all means ]

As it seems this cold in the ship is not affecting me as much as others here, I would be happy to offer assistance to anyone suffering from the drop in temperature. I do not require the extra gloves and wrap provided by the captains, and any extra blankets in my quarters are welcome to others.

I am located on Mero Deck, #10.

[The feed turns on to show a very pale, very tired-looking dark-haired man. It's a moment before he speaks.]

My name is Greg Vorbarra. I know that everyone has seen more than their fair share of tragedy in the past few days and that many of you won't know me, but you may know my foster-brother, Miles. He-- [He has to stop and take a slow, steady breath, but his voice doesn't shake.]

Clark Kent confirmed that he was killed yesterday attempting to rescue civilians from the planet's surface. On--where Ivan, Miles, and I are from, it's customary to burn an offering for the dead. Something personal. A small clipping of hair is traditional, but anything that will catch fire will do. Miles was-- [His voice cracks very slightly now before he wrests control of himself again, his dark eyes focused.] Miles was a singular personality. He was clever, and brave, and brilliant, and kind, a collection of traits I have found to be exceedingly rare. I miss him very much. If that's a sentiment you share, I would be privileged to accept an offering for us to burn. Our room is 009, on Nomo Deck.

Thank you.

[Zam really wishes this weren’t necessary. It’s bad enough that he has to divulge a weakness to the entire crew, without the added rub of having to ask for help at the end of it. But seeing as the captains have given no indication that this temperature problem is going to fix itself anytime soon, he doesn’t really have any other options. He takes a short breath and then reluctantly speaks.]

There’s not really any way to sugarcoat this, so here it goes: you know how a lot of races have that thing where their body temperature self-regulates? Mine doesn’t. Which means, I don’t do very well in the cold. As in, my metabolism will slow down until I eventually enter a hibernatory state. Which I’d really, really like to avoid.

Basically, I need help staying warm. And staying awake. [Interpret that as you will. Zam is in such a state that he doesn’t even bother making it into an innuendo. It’s that bad.] I’m in Moro Deck #003.

Also, if you’re on Moro Deck and you’re missing your blanket… Well, I guess you know where to find it now.
