[ The video feed crackles to life, and on the screen is a man looking equal parts composed and annoyed. He settles into the frame and smiles wryly.]

I'm not going to waste time here asking where we are, since I'd like to think we can all recognize space, but fair warning: you've got about [ he looks at his watch ] 2 minutes before I start taking this place apart. Not a threat, just making you aware that without a pretty impressive explanation, I will cannibalize your lovely and expensive ship and fly myself home.

[ He smiles briefly and with no humor before sitting back in his chair and tapping his watch. ]

Nope. Guessing it should?

[dancingmd]

Trust me, if you were from my universe, you'd know him.

[Frankly, she's relieved. There's always that small worry in the back of her mind that one of these days, someone is going to be from far in her past and she'll have to be a lot more careful about the Temporal Prime Directive than she was with Julian.]

[housepartyprotocol]

Does that make him a Big Bad, or a Big Good?

[dancingmd]

Bad. Very bad. He was a tyrannical despot that ruled during one of Earth's darkest hours. My Earth's, anyway.

[housepartyprotocol]

Oh, well great. We've had a few people try for that spot where I come from, too.

[dancingmd]

Well... Hopefully none of them succeed.

In any case, now that we have established your time and place, are there any specific questions you have about the fleet? I have been here for over six months now, so I am happy to try to fill you in on anything.

[housepartyprotocol]

I did hear something about the ship resetting itself daily. You experience that too?

[dancingmd]

Ever since we were brought back to the Marsiva, yes, but that's not standard operating procedure on our individual ships. Break something or make a mess on your ship, it'll still be there in the morning.
