[When the feed starts, Elizabeth is right in the center of the frame, dressed in her uniform, giving off a very formal but pleasant attitude. She practiced this. Several times.]

Good morning, everyone. For those of you who I haven't met yet, my name is Elizabeth DeWitt, head librarian. Recently, I was promoted by our captains to the position of First Mate, meaning I have taken on additional responsibilities to the crew aside from encouraging everyone to visit the library and make use of the collection. [Little plug there, forgive her.]

As First Mate, I'll be acting as a liaison between the crew and the captains, should anyone have an issue they would feel more comfortable speaking to me about, or if the captains are off ship. Once I've moved in, my quarters will be located in Section M and I encourage anyone to find me there or at the library if you need me.

...I realize not all of us are happy to find ourselves here, however I am one of the potentially few who very easily call this ship my home. Whatever can be done to make things more efficient, safe, or comfortable, I want to discuss it. But, at the same time, if you just want a reading recommendation and some hot chocolate, I can provide that as well.

[She nods, clearly satisfied with the message and smiles, looking a little relieved that she got through the spiel without embarrassing herself.] I think that about wraps it up, but if there's anything else please feel free to message me. Thank you!

hey, way to go librarian! you're really booking it to the top of the career ladder.

good to know we'll have one of our own in charge.

[tearmeanewone]

Right? Check me out!

[Haha.... ouch.]

Well, 'in charge' is probably a little bit of an overstatement-- I'm a liaison between the crew and the captains, nobody wants me driving this ship.

[Ouch? More like it takes Sans a second to recover from his laughter to respond.]

i didn't know the promotion came with a humor upgrade. you're gonna make me wanna start trying at my job.

i dunno though, kiddo, i can think of a few people who would probably be more than comfortable. but, hey, far be it from me to sow dissent ;).

[tearmeanewone]

I'll be more careful in the future. Wouldn't want you to get too funny, right?

Sans I can't even drive an automobile. I just got the hang of a bicycle. Surely a space ship is just a little more complex, right?

[skelepun]

are you kidding? only the landing and taking off parts. the rest is smooth sailing. at least, that's what the helpful magazine ads in your library tell me. only forty-thousand yanglovian credits for a short range cruiser. bargain, right?

[Not that it's evident over text, but Sans can't quite help laughing at his own joke.]

seriously though, it's a big responsibility. glad you're the one they picked.

[tearmeanewone]

Ah, then I'll talk to somebody about taking off and landing. Or maybe I'll just save my yanglovian credits for something very fancy and automatic. Can't take me much more than a few months to hit forty-thousand, right?

It's starting to dawn on me just how big of a responsibility it is-- but I'm going to keep you glad I'm the one they picked, if I have anything to say about it.

[skelepun]

hehe, i don't doubt it. lemme know if anyone gives you any trouble, kid. you keep the books in good order around here, and the entertainment means i owe you one.

cash it in whenever, miss first mate. ;)

[tearmeanewone]

I'll let that one instance of calling me by my title slide, but don't overdue it.

Thank you Sans. I appreciate the support, really.

[skelepun]

hehe, noted.
