[Soon after the mail shows up, Leia flicks on the video feed on the MID. Her holster is already in use, but there are several vacuum-sealed packets of ruica and three packets of ruica seeds next to her. Ruica's basically spinach, and Leia has Complicated Feelings about it. But never mind that. She's looking directly into the feed, wearing a pleasant, Not At All Complicated expression on her face. Princesses talking to groups know how to look mild while doing so.]

Greetings. If we haven't met before, it's a pleasure to speak with you.

I was brought to the Moira recently, and I'm still learning the ship's norms, so I hope you'll forgive the questions. Does the Moira have any facilities or previously agreed-upon standards for trading packages from home? I'm sure some of us have received items we don't need, or don't need in the quantity we received.

Thank you for any help you can provide on the matter.

[The video turns on and it shows a whole lotta nothing. Just an empty rec room. And then:]

DD!

[When Ocelot’s voice shouts the name, a large dog that appears to be a wolf-mix with thick grey fur and an eyepatch over one eye comes into view of the camera and stands there wagging its tail eagerly.

Ocelot’s gloved red hand comes into view of the camera and points to the room.]

Search!

[The dog barks twice and turns around to quickly move about the room. It sticks its head behind a couch and pulls out a red ball, then drops it and follows its nose to another spot, inside a potted plant, where another red ball is retrieved. The dog moves expertly around obstacles, retrieving red balls that were hidden all over the room. When the last one is found, DD walks back to Ocelot and stares up at the camera with the final red ball in its mouth.]

Good boy, DD.

[DD barks again, dropping the ball and turning happily in a circle with his tail wagging. The camera then turns to show Ocelot’s face.]

You see that? Expertly trained. I’m willing to bet DD here is worth more in the field than half of you, so maybe you should get some lessons from our defense personnel.

[That’ll give Miller and Snake something to do.]

If you think you might need DD for some field work, you can ask his handler, ‘Venom’ Snake.

Hey everybody, it's your friendly neighborhood barista, here to announce some new additions to the cafe!

We now serve...

[She pans over a blender and several bags of frozen fruit.] Fruit smoothies!

[She pans over a bunch of haphazardly unpacked snacks covering her counter, including assorted vacuum-packed sandwiches, chips, packaged cookies, chocolate bars, dried fruit, beef jerky, cans and bottles of soft drinks...] A variety of snacks that I don't have to bother the kitchen for! Though I still expect those baked goods, Loki, it's not a real cafe without muffins.

And! For your increased convenience... [She pans over a colorful selection of travel mugs.] Drinks to go that are less likely to spill! But seriously, if you don't bring them back you don't get to borrow another.

Also, um, I got this stuff... it says 'Dextro' on it, and I did ask for some stuff for Turians, so I'm guessing it's for you, Nihlus. Come show me what to do with it and I'll make you a drink.

So, that's it! Come enjoy your widening menu and thank me for working so hard for you all.

[Yes, she sounded so self-assured this time. Brilliant! ...Though after a moment she comes back on the camera looking much less confident.]

Okay, that's not it. I also kind of wondered, y'know, since I got a lot of makeup last month... uh, doesn't anyone want to start, like, a makeup club or something?

[Deacon has the wig on today and sunglasses (finally got a pair thanks to the Ingress) and a black suit that was probably once very sharp but after two hundred years and a nuclear apocalypse is very much the worse for wear.]

Hey, science-y people, anyone have experience with laser guns?
