[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?

Oh, I'm quite sure a good number of us have a preference for it.

[Who doesn't enjoy a good drink now and then?] But I happen to prefer something a little sweeter than what I can only assume is your typical beer. [That's what she has, right? Everything's so different with all this labeling! He leans a little closer as if to try and see.]

I may see you there some time.

Sweeter? [Dutch raises an eyebrow curiously. She could remember something an old friend said about alcohol not being meant to taste good. She'd disagreed, of course, and it seemed Oren would have disagreed, as well.] Are you more of a cocktail person?

[She smiles and raises her beer in a one-person toast.] Here's hoping!

More wine, really, but I do enjoy anything sweet enough. [He certainly would have disagreed. The sweeter the better, and good flavor is always enjoyable. He lifts his hand, mimicking a toast with empty air.]

At least in the midst of everything foreign, there is some familiarity in alcohol.

Ah, wine. I usually only drink wine with meals.

Very true! [She laughs, nodding in agreement. It was why she'd hung out at bars so much back home before everything had gone to hell.]
