And we're back
[On this perfectly normal day in the Drift Fleet (in as much as any day here can be called "normal"), everyone's personal communicators and network terminals crackle to life with an incoming message. It's impossible to change the channel as a peppy jingle begins to play, followed by--could it be? The saccharine voice of one of the Drift Fleet's long-lost hosts. Diamond has finally come calling again.]
Good morning, Drift Fleet! It is so good to be able to speak with you again after so long... Absence makes the heart grow fonder, doesn't it? We have quite a bit to catching up to do!
You'll be happy to know that while you and I may have been out of communication lately, our darling audience has been keeping up! In the interim, each passenger has had their very own montage made and broadcast for them, covering their histories and current struggles... [The pride can be heard brimming in her voice.] There have been several episodes dedicated entirely to introducing everyone to all of the new faces who've joined us over the past few months, as well.
[With a heartfelt sigh:] I have missed you all so very much, and I do apologize for the lack of contact. It turns out that we needed to extend the calibrations to more systems than previously anticipated, and a few things had to be disconnected in order for those repairs to take place. Some of you may have noticed the slight increase in new passenger arrivals while the system was resetting and reestablishing contact... But that glitch has been taken care of!
[There's a rustling sound in the background of the broadcast, as though she was shuffling through some papers.] Speaking of which, the SS Blameless has been added to the Fleet to relieve some of the pressure. So hello, Blameless! I hope that you know that you're already making quite a name for yourself among the fans.
And related to our recent repairs... A software update will be released very soon, so please excuse any hiccups that may occur between communication devices, power grids, or the gravity drives. I promise that it will all be temporary.
[The sound of a page turning.] Finally, thank you so much for your cooperation in completing that important delivery with our friends aboard the HS Maldua, despite the little incident with the Starlight's security. I assure you that our cargo was completely harmless and that we'd made all attempts to register with the station... But some of the paperwork must have gotten lost in the process. You all know how tangled the red tape can get, sometimes. Many of you persevered regardless and made sure that the trade was completed, and we are terribly grateful for it.
It is so nice to know that we have some true allies among our beloved ranks. Teamwork is everything, you know.
[A small, happy sound.]
Until next time, remember... The worlds are watching!
[And with that closing phrase, the broadcast ends... Or does it? The channel is still open, and anyone is welcome to try replying... They just may not get an answer from anyone other than their fellow passengers.]

Video
[But he knows very well Diamond never responds to these, so there's no point in wasting breath. So instead, while his feed is on, he'll just give a very rude hand gesture at the camera]
[Yeah. That sums up his feelings about all this]
