Fun in the sun
[It's that time again, kids. A familiar little jingle rings out through every speaker, and your host's voice is right behind it, sounding as chipper as ever. Her cheer could almost outshine the sun!]
Good morning, dear passengers! I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine on your shoulders and the sand between your toes. Don't forget your sunscreen, though... there's no telling what sorts of silly things a foreign sun might do to your skin!
Also, we apologize for any little hiccups in the functionality of some of your augments--there are a few harmless technical difficulties that are being resolved as we speak. So, if anyone is feeling a little funny, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Just relax, and it should be resolved in no time.
As for the Shuffle, I hope you're all not too busy with your summertime fun to take time and welcome this week's batch of new faces, as well as congratulate Captain Matthews on his promotion!
[Oh, remember that scattered, distant laughter and applause? It's back! All must be right with the worlds.]
And since last week was such a big hit-- here is another letter from some lucky audience member!
[She clears her throat.]
"Hello! Long-time watcher, first-time writer, here... and I'm always just so impressed by the crazy skills and hilarious backstories of the passengers. I was wondering, if each passenger could share one piece of advice with us, what would it be?"
--Well! You heard them, folks. Your audience awaits your answers! Make them good.
[And then, just before she signs off, she leaves one last hurried warning.]
Finally, be sure to jettison your temporary, Atroma-licensed, land-and-sea recreational outfits before the fleet leaves this system's range!
And remember, the worlds are watching!
[As before, the signal goes quiet, but the line is left open. Someone is listening.]

(also, anyone who responded to Diamond's broadcast last week is free to have noticed by now that they've received a suspicious little bonus to their ratings payout. audience participation pays off??)

no subject
I have two pieces of advice. First, don't ask a bunch of kidnapped strangers on a holoshow how to live your life. Second, don't let other people decide how you should think of someone.
Okay, so how much do they know about us?
[Viewers, producers, pick your 'they'.]
[voice]
Being that we haven't found any strong evidence toward anything that they don't know, it's safest to assume that the answer to that question is 'everything.'
...Also, I find what you've chosen for your second piece of advice very interesting. Good choice.
[voice]
It's done me good before. I figure other people should try it too.
[voice]
And as for the advice... it's suited just as well to the rest of the fleet as it is to the audience, I think.
It's a message that bears repeating.
[voice]
Have you run into problems from people not taking that advice?
[voice]
We're a diverse and alarming group, after all. Of course it comes up.
