[Dutch is sitting in the galley in one of the chairs, her feet propped up on another unoccupied chair. In her hand she holds a beer. There’s a pleasant smile on her face.]

Hello, fellow space travelers. I’m Dutch Velders, your new welding tech.

[She takes a long drink from her bottle of beer, looking off into space for a moment as if she’s thinking about something, but she snaps back to attention with that same smile on her face.]

I don’t suppose anyone came through here with a deck of cards? I find that poker makes for an excellent ice-breaking activity. Not that working side-by-side with you and sharing a room with some of you hasn’t already served as a brilliant ice breaker. Just... When you have the time, we should participate in a leisure activity together.

[Dutch wiggles her eyebrows playfully and just smiles at the camera for a good couple of seconds.]

What do you say, spacefolk?

Oooh... [Dutch frowns slightly at that.] I'm afraid I haven't really accumulated much that I could trade them for. The Ingress even took my bloody boots.

Now I'm curious, though. What kind of cards are they?

[J shows her a deck of moving tarot cards, with a completely unamused look on her face]

I honestly don't know what they were thinking when giving these to me. I certainly hope I don't look like a some nutjob, voodoo lady.

[Dutch watches, amazed with the cards. They're certainly not what she was looking for, but they're like nothing she's ever seen before.]

Huh. They're not exactly playing cards, but they are pretty nifty.

[She nods in approval. The other woman does not look like a nutjob, voodoo lady, but the cards are pretty cool.]

Nifty is a good word, yes. [She waves the deck in front of the camera.]

So how about it? You might lost your boots but surely you have some jewellery on you?

[Dutch taps the small, silver stud in her nose with her index finger.] I'm afraid this is all I've got. I don't think I'm willing to part with it just yet, either, as cool as those cards may be.

[She shrugs her shoulders with a smile.] Perhaps once I've acquired something I'm more willing to give away.
