Who: Nova & U
Broadcast: fleet-wide; video
Action: On First Breath
When: August 14th, early morning

[ Nova looks... tired, especially if you saw her on her first day. She's sitting up on her bed and her space looks pretty immaculate and not at all lived-in. She looks a little anxious, and rebraids the bottom of her hair before speaking, visibly uncomfortable with the camera. ]

Uh. Hey. I guess. I hope I'm not waking anyone up. I'm new so... I don't know. I can't sleep. Does anyone have any tips? Or something? It's... well, it's not exactly quiet, because things make noise. But it's... sterile? It doesn't sound right, or smell right.

I don't really want to think about it too hard. Anyway. If you could tell me what you did when you were new...

[ She trails off, awkward and tired and lets the silence go on a little long ]

It's probably just a personal problem.

So, no.

How do you find it?

It's...better? I guess. As much as it can be trapped in a prison.

Yeah. I miss green things.

I don't know what I miss.

Your memories, probably?

What about yours?

Do I miss them? I don't know.

Not having mine isn't getting in the way.

Sure, but in the way of what?

This place, I guess.

Yeah, maybe.

It could be worse.

Yeah, it always can.

Have you made any friends?

I don't know. What parameters need to be met for friendship?

Well, not wanting to kill each other is a good start. If you feel like, I don't know... it's someone you can talk to, that's good, too.

So maybe we're friends?

..I guess I have, yes. There are a few I like talking to.

...I would like that.

Okay. Good. I'd like that too.

So, we're friends. [ He decides that it's a nice thing to have. ]

Yeah, so that means you can call me when you want and I'll probably pick up.

I'll try to remember that. You may do the same..

Okay. Good.
