[Despite being relatively new to this form of communication, Mettaton finds himself easily starting a video, and his smile is both genuine and charismatic as he addresses the crew fully for the first time since he got here!]

Hello, beauties! Now that I've caught a free moment to myself, I thought I'd say hello to all of you at once and finally break in this old thing!

[He winks briefly. Everyone should consider themselves fortunate that he doesn't pose dramatically.]

My name is Mettaton, former shining robot star of the Underground! I's been nice meeting a few of you, and I hope that I can make very good friends with everyone else just as easily!

I would like to clarify my main position on the ship to everyone; I'm a Cybernetics Technician! Since that is not my forte, I humbly ask that if anyone has prior experience, would you be so kind as to share your knowledge? I assure you, I'm a quick learner!

[Being a bot has advantages.]

I think that's about all I wanted to say--oh, wait! Maybe I should let you know that I do not always keep to one form. I'm able to switch about freely, and while I prefer looking as fabulous as I am right now, that's not always possible. So if you see this--

[Here have a picture he drew of himself.]

--that's me too! It's more battery-friendly to be a beautiful box sometimes!

Okay, I think that covers everything! I'm sure I have something to do around here anyway~ Toodles, darlings!

I wouldn't mind taking a few lessons from you darling, just to see if it helps. While literal trial by fire doesn't bother me, I'm better at emulating a professional! Not to say that you aren't, but the more exact it's done, the more likely I can internalize the process!

[He explains it without a hint of shyness. He's not the sort for shy. That's his cousin's thing.]

At any rate, I'll have to see about talking to the science department and armory workers. If I must provide a service, I would prefer that it was a good service!

Well, just let me know a good time and I'll fit you into my busy schedule of constantly spending time in Med Bay. I have a plan to keep spare prosthetic limbs for the people that have prosthetics on board. You can help me knock out a bunch of those.

Sound like a plan?

[If there's sarcasm there, Mettaton puts no thought to it! He doesn't want to slack, that never looks good, and so if he can get some practical learning in, he'll take it.]

Certainly, I'd be happy to offer my services within reason! We'll keep in touch then, Miss...?

[imaginary_wife]

Mrs. Actually. [If widows count. Though she never brings up her dead wife much.] I'm Dr. Meh Yewll, but Doc Yewll works.

[mttbrandlegs]

My apologies, Doctor! Or Doc Yewll if you prefer, then! It's lovely to make your acquaintance~

[Talk about overenthusiastic. Mettaton has little to no filter though, the good Doc would learn that soon!]

When is the next, most convenient time to plan a lesson, or should I inquire a little later?

[imaginary_wife]

I'm glad all that bravado I was internalizing actually was being used by someone else. I was worried it was being wasted. [Mettaton you are a hell of a showman.]

Just come by the infirmary whenever. I'm there almost all the time.

[mttbrandlegs]

[Is that sarcasm? That's sarcasm. Look at this robot who is ignoring said sarcasm!]

Happy to siphon the good feelings you weren't using, darling! At any rate, I'll be around then. Better to sort out this mechanical nonsense as soon as I can.

[imaginary_wife]

[She's lucky so many people tolerate her sarcasm or she'd never be able to talk to anyone at all.]

I'll be around.
