We'll be back after these important messages
[just when it seems like the Hosts are going to leave you all to yourselves, with this latest upset--augments glitching left and right, revealing things that are supposed to be hidden--the faces of Atroma appear once more. the usual jingle plays from the speakers in the main hall, and the giant screen flickers to life.
Diamond's smiling face once again graces her beloved passengers.]
Good evening, everyone! I hope you are all doing well, despite the... continuing technical issues.
I would first like to thank you all for being so patient! We greatly appreciate your cooperation through this difficult time, and we want to assure you that the repairs are nearly complete.
I can't imagine how eager you all must be to get out of here and return to the comfort of your own ships. I want nothing more than to speed the fleet through this rough patch, and get back to our regularly scheduled activities.
So... if you're like me, and are getting tired of all of this calibration nonsense, let me tell you exactly how we can all make that happen.
[and here's where she takes a breath, with a little rise and drop of her shoulders, but she doesn't let her smile falter.]
...I see that some of you have been digging at things that might seem fun and interesting at first, but I would like to let you know that the more energy we spend putting everything back where it belongs, the longer the calibrations are going to take.
So, instead of making things harder on yourselves and on us, I would like you all to do something that will speed things up a bit. Instead of straining yourselves on outdated and silly things, I encourage you to find someone who isn't part of your own crew and talk to them. Make a new friend and tell them all about your ship and the interesting folks you live with.
Not only will the audience love it, but you will be focusing on your beloved ships and establishing new connections, and that is just the kind of thing that will make this whole thing easier on all of us.
Sounds simple, right? Just get out there, say hello to someone, exchange some stories, and we'll all be done with this unpleasant business in no time.
[and just as they had on the first day of calibration, your Hosts are right there, present and listening.
you certainly don't have to answer them in the way that they would like, but if you do have anything to say to the Hosts, now is a great time to do so. who knows when they'll deign to speak to the fleet in real-time again.]

If that'll get us off this ship faster-
[He forces a smile at the camera]
Let's start with you, Diamond, okay? So...who are you, and what made you decide kidnapping people for money was a great job opportunity? Or tell us more about Atroma, or the Marsiva.
Any question, I'm sure it's an interesting story that the audience would love to hear.
no subject
Unfortunately, that isn't exactly how it works, dear.
See, the point is to have you focus on your ship. It doesn't do any good if I'm the one sharing.

While that may be true, the audience really has no bearing on how quickly you all return to your ships.
You can't return to your ships until the calibrations are complete, and the calibrations can't be completed quickly with all of these setbacks, so... that is why I am encouraging you all to follow this advice.
no subject
But if you don't feel like talking about yourself, that's fine. I can focus on my ship. So... [He frowns] Can you tell me where Delirium, Cyril, Ludger, Zoro, Suki, Usagi, Aang, Hawke or Kairi are?
They're from my crew, but they went missing. I had thought they were sent home, but from what you told my Captain- that doesn't sound like the case.
So...where are you keeping them? I'd really like to know that much.
no subject
I know that you don't understand how my advice could possibly help. But, the nature of the desynchronizations is quite complicated, you see. You'll just have to trust me on it.
Thinking about and discussing your current crew and the current state of your beloved home ship is what you should be doing-- not dwelling on the past.
