Who: The crew of the SS ~~TRAINWRECK~~ STARSTRUCK AND YOU
Broadcast: Nope, it's a mingle!
Action: Starstruck
When: Late May, after this weekend's shuffle.

[HELLO, STARSTRUCK. It's been a while and our time on this planet is drawing to a close. Did you win enough things? Or go visit the planet? Well, it looks like we lost some crewmates to gain some so maybe we should get them all settled.]

[Elena looks up when Zeta enters and flashes him a smile, waving a little back.]

Hi, I'm Elena. I'm new. [She makes a vague gesture to around the lab.] And I guess this is what I'm supposed to be doing around here.

It's nice to meet you.

[ He glances around the lab, then turns back to Elena, curious. ] Were you a doctor or a scientist back home?

Not exactly. [She smiles again, this time a little nervous because she feels severely out of her league with this. She was volunteering back home, but that was more or less changing out bed pans than actual medical work.] College sophomore, pre-med.

But my dad was a doctor. He ran a small clinic in my hometown.

[And apparently conducted horrible experiments on vampires that she definitely is super not talking about, nope.]

[ Zee smiles, disarmingly. ]

You sound more qualified than some of us are for our positions, at least before the augments.

[Elena lets out a small puff of laughter and shakes her head.]

Then I really hope nobody starts bleeding because we might be a little screwed.

I promise that I will not start bleeding.

[She laughs, lowering her head and gaze for a brief moment.]

I appreciate the promise, but I won't hold you to it.

[ Zeta hesitates, then smiles. ]

You may. I am certain that I will not bleed.

What do you plan to do in your position here, if you were not a doctor or scientist at home?

I'm still trying to figure that out, honestly.

[She just knows she doesn't want to be dead weight.]
