video | address from the captain & first mate

[primum]

[ Once the feed starts, it immediately cuts to two of the newest additions of the Moira. From the environment around them, it’s clear that they are still residing in Navigation, for now, and the video adjusts on Egan. ]

First Mate Egan here. After reading the ship logs and having spoken with your current captains, we understand that this will all be a lot to adjust to. But, as we’ve gone over your crew files, we know that you all are very capable, and with that in mind, we have much to address.

First and foremost. [ He steps back and to the side, gesturing towards the man beside him with a nod. ] This is your Captain.

[ A nod in return, and the Captain, Ira, immediately moves into the reason for doing this. After all, he is a man who believes in wasting nothing. ]

As those in command have acquiesced authority to me and my First Mate, we will be making necessary changes to suit the remainder of this journey. I am unaware of how much you have been told about the destination of this vessel, but our course has been routed to reach a central point known as the Midway Hub. It is the home of this ship, and your means home as well. By conserving resources and supplies, the Moira will reach the Hub faster than previously charted by your head Navigator. Ultimately, this is the goal we are going to achieve, and plans are being put into place as we speak to enforce this.

Jobs will also be reassigned accordingly to fit the ship’s current needs. If there is a person you deem worthy of a Head position, please submit them to First Mate Egan. We will consider each seriously and choose the best candidate. [ Ira glances to Egan for him to continue. ]

One second.

[The video cuts to a recording of the Captain and First Mate on the ship. The Moira appears different, cleaner, newer, but everything is quiet and empty. They are in the Ingress room, following the last of surviving crew into the machine. The footage flicks from feed to feed, showing the Ploiatos left alone with those its killed. They disappear inside.]

This was our last time aboard the Moira before we were lost inside the Ingress. We’re still combing through past logs, including those of our own time aboard the ship, but what we know is that Crewman Ploiatos was compromised and committed acts of petty treason toward their fellow crew. For this, and the danger they pose, Ploiatos will remain locked up and an all time guard will be set up immediately to ensure our safety. This room is to never go unwatched. When we reach the Midway Hub, Ploiatos will be escorted to a safe holding facility to await their committee hearing.

Your safety is our duty, and as such, we will be taking the correct measures to make this happen. We want to thank you for your service and offer in return our utmost assurance that the rest of the journey will be swift, smooth, and safe as per the Acelight Delegation. [ The video immediately returns to Ira. ]

If there are questions, we will take them now. Please limit your queries to one per individual. All comments are visible for others to see. [ There’s only a short pause before: ] Thanks.

[A month in cryo and suddenly the world goes upside down. Who would've thought.]

welp. i guess this is happening now. glad you're considering skeleton rights, even if that guy is a major asshole.

i don't mean to pry or anything but if you're the captains who the hell's been driving for the past year?

Why wouldn't we consider skeleton rights? There is universe upon universe where everyone is different and should be treated fairly. Even assholes.

They took over the ship when our crew left it in haste. It was unmanned, and is the law, made it available for taking.

it's a joke, slick. don't think about it too hard. i'm sure you're a swell guy.

sounds like some law. got anymore of these laws? like idk, a codified book of 'em or something? asking for a friend, i don't like reading much myself.

I can't tell if that's sarcasm, but if it is, I like it. If it's not, it should be.

We do. But it's less a book, and more an installment on the computer system. There. I've granted you access.

[ooc: So he'd totally give Sans the Acelight Delegation laws that he was trained to follow, but I do not have anything like that written up. Lmao. Standard. Do your job, be a good crew member, etc., but I'm sure if you ever want to do anything with it we can figure it out in the future.]

first thing's first, kiddo. sarcasm isn't funny. learn yourself a few knock knock jokes and get back to me. i also accept limericks. try to keep it clean, though, we've got kids on board.

and thanks. so if i got any questions about this, y'know, if i ever find time to skim it... how many phone calls away would you say you were?

[ooc: that totally works for me! i think i've got a good idea of it without needing too many specifics. what a good and upfront gentleman...]

A pirate has a peg for a leg, and a stool has a leg for a peg. Would they be brothers, from different mothers-- Or something like that. It's all I remember.

I'd say negative one. I'm on the same ship, just find me.

points for effort. kinda fell apart in the end there, but you tried.

and that's good to hear. seems like you've got a pretty forthright way of running things around here. would you say the captain's the same?

[primum]

We share the same frame of mind. I've known him since my training days. He's stern, way too serious, but he means well. He's reviewing footage and deciding how to make this situation better for us all, so I'm doing a majority of communication.

[skelepun]

that's big of you. no really, i mean it. if you think he's way to serious, i don't think the guy would like me very much. my objective hilarity aside.

how're you feeling so far? optimistic? 'cuz y'know, i'd love to help you guys out.

[primum]

I'm very optimistic. What kind of assistance do you offer?</font.

[skelepun]

i'm a bit of a jack of all trades myself, personally. just keep me in your books, pal.

if you ever have a rip in the time continuum you need patched, gimme a ring.
