[He's overdue for this, it's true. But Tony has been poking around before committing to an introduction. He doesn't rush in quite as recklessly these days thanks to his time with SHIELD. Trying to think more like a spy has paid off in that sense. He connects to the MID, sending his image using a camera that does not look attached to his arm. In fact, it seems to be showing a full body shot, with the camera somewhere across the room.]

My name is Tony Stark. For those who know me, I'm declaring this an emergency in neutral space. Everyone is an ally out here unless you prove otherwise.

For those I haven't met, I'd be happy to change that. Since we're all working together on this problem it doesn't hurt to make more friends. I'm sure everyone has the same goal right now and the more we work together, the faster it will go.

That said, if there's anything I can do for you, let me know. I'm guessing some of us might have arrived a little worse off than others. Just look me up if you need a hand.

True, but I think we could all use some friends given our current situation. We're sort of stuck relying on each other anyway. Might as well make the best of it.

We do have that. But I tend to think of those things in terms of alliances.

[ At least until someone really manages earn her trust. ]

Well, consider this an offer to create an alliance then. It doesn't have to mean anything now. Just a gesture of good faith since we're still getting to know each other.

It makes more sense to start out on a good note.

All right. You have my attention, anyway. I like initiative.

Thank you. I appreciate the support. I mean it, so if you need anything, let me know. I'm pretty good with my hands if you need anything fixed.

It seems like our skills overlap then. We might be able to collaborate at some point though, who knows.

Really? Now you've got me interested. It seems like this ship could use all the help it can get. Maybe we should get together.

[ Tex would almost prefer to continue to communicate via text, but she needs to get used to getting to know her fellow-passengers since they're all in this situation together. ]

Outside of meal times I'm in the bow. Defense specialist. We can meet up after my shift.

All right. I'll come up to meet you. Or I guess you'll find me, since I don't know what you look like.
