network video from red fish bridge;

[aberrant_type]

Who: Zoe Hange
Broadcast: Video
Action: for Red Fish crewmates
When: Tuesday... October 7... midday...?

[Someone is experimenting with shipwide broadcast. The screen shows Hange sitting with her hands folded in front of her, grinning amiably at the camera.]

Hmm. Is this thing working? I think so... [She pauses for a couple seconds and then laughs.] Well, I guess I'll find out! Hello, everyone, this is Captain Hange of the SS Red Fish speaking. [She winks.] I just got the paperwork turned in. Sorry to surprise you, Nunnally and Skull, but I decided I'd be up for it and thought it was better to get it done!

Now, I'm addressing everyone today to mention the tiny thing that's been embedded in our skulls! I'm guessing everyone has noticed that they have something in the back of their head that's difficult to even touch. It feels maybe bottle-cap sized! I hope that's familiar-sounding to all of you? I'm a little reluctant to actually open up someone's head but I wonder if anyone has tried that yet! Have you removed someone else's implant? Have you removed your own? If so, amazing! How did you do that? Nunnally let me experiment with hers a little, noninvasively of course, and reported discomfort that seemed unnaturally strong even when another person was just touching it! Thanks for your contributions, brave girl.

Also, as I told some of you, I didn't know anything about space before arriving here, but suddenly upon arriving I do! Also, we have a little room on this ship where I know how to use everything! That's unusual, given my home doesn't have anything close to this level of technology. I'm still exploring that equipment, but I wonder what others have noticed! I certainly don't understand everything on the ship, but I'm guessing if I mysteriously understand this one room, others will understand some other parts! What do you know now that you didn't know before? If you feel up to it, please let me know!

[holy talking, batman. She takes a moment to breathe, grinning at the screen still in an I know I know many words fashion.]

Great to meet you all, by the way! Let's get along and work productively together!

[Oh sweet goddess. Kaneis is rubbing the temple of his forehead]

While I can appreciate the esteemed Captain Hange's desire for learning, I gotta say- unless there's a neurosurgeon aboard your vessel, please don't try to remove any implants.

1/2

Hello there, Kaneis! Good hearing from you again!

[aberrant_type]

Any "neurosurgeons" who are listening should speak up if they feel able.

[wilder]

[Well, at least that's something]

Hiii. Good to hear from you too. [Kinda Sorta] Congratulations on your promotion?

[ Oh, this voice sounds familiar. There is, thankfully, a communication station (sweet rhyming, I know) in the sickbay/lab/makeshift Lair of Hiding Out From Fellow Crew Members, so that's cool.

The skull's a bit askew today, enough that her hair is peeking out from underneath it. ]

Aren't they strange? They don't want to come out. They protest if you try.

[ Drumming her fingers, almost idly, against the back of her neck. ]

they weren't video before, right?

[aberrant_type]

... This is Emblica?

i figured they weren't, I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE..established at some point , mea culpa.

[amarant]

That's right, Miss Hange.

[he's so helpful.]

[aberrant_type]

That's me! [A HELPER AND A TREASURE IN TURN CLEARLY]

[theboogieman]

why

[ardor]

No more experiments on or near Nunnally! Are you crazy?!

[Also who the hell are you.]

[aberrant_type]

Oh, she's fine! It was noninvasive!

i love you

[ardor]

That's not the point at all!!

[hey, he's got the camera on this time. he's decided that he likes being able to see who he's talking to. he's smirking quite a bit.]

...Someone let you experiment on them?

[aberrant_type]

Absolutely...

[And she was going to keep talking, but then she looks at him and then she... stops talking... and stares at him...]

[aberrant_type]

[And stares at him...]

[aberrant_type]

... your eyes...

[parkinglotangel]

[Michael hadn't felt up there until now because, frankly, he's kind of lazy, and he hadn't quite noticed with everything else drawing his interest. But once he hears this message he does, which draws a real frown from him. Now that shouldn't be there at all. He doesn't remember to switch the video on until after, though.]

Now that is odd.

[aberrant_type]

Which part?

[SHE JUST SOUNDS VERY CHEERFUL enlighten her, Michael.]

[ Cecil answers the broadcast with one of her own, concern rather evident on her features. She thought Hange to be rather responsible, but she would like to know just why she's so interested in experimenting on their brain-chips. ]

Hange... if she feels so much discomfort at having it just touched, I think it's safe to say that attempts to remove it or otherwise tamper with it will cause severe pain or worse.

[aberrant_type]

[She's responsible! She just has... a lot of enthusiasm. Everyone is just jumping to the worst conclusions, gosh.]

I wasn't proposing working further on Nunnally. Far be it for me to put a civilian like her into danger.

[blindoptimism]

[oh, well then.... goodness this lady is certainly a force to be reckoned with]

Ah... congratulation. S-Should we refer to you as Captain from now on?

[aberrant_type]

If you'd like. At home, people referred to me as "Leader Hange." That's what I'm used to. Then again, the organization I was part of doesn't seem to exist here.

Really I'd rather we be comfortable, Nunnally! We don't have to stand too much on formality.

[luxuriant]

...Should you really be messing around with something like that if you don't know the first thing about it? Especially when you're saying it bothered her so much just touching it.

[Please don't attempt anything, stranger friend...]

But as far as knowing things goes, I think I know what you're talking about. I've got this network thing down pat, and I don't think it's just my familiarity with different types over the past months.

[aberrant_type]

[you know, first things first.] ... Kaneis? Didn't we already have this conversation?
