Who: Sarah Turner and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Golden
When: 12/06
[as the video flickers on, a blonde teenager stares intently at the camera before she flashes a toothy smile and leans in closer]
Aaaand there we go. Testing, one two-- [she taps the camera twice and grins a little wider as she hears feedback from her own device]
Is it too late for a Wizard of Oz reference? Because we sure are not in Kansas any more. [her left hand reaches up to fiddle with a strand of her wavy blonde hair as she looks up, past the camera]
So tell me if I leave anything out, because here's what I've got figured out so far. We're on Survivor: Space Edition, with just a dab of Star Travel mixed in for flavor. And I'm guessing instead of getting voted off the island, we get jetted off into space? Man, and I thought human reality TV was vicious. Turns out aliens are the real assholes.
[but despite that she laughs a bit at her own joke and turns her full attention back to the screen before she continues]
I guess the meet-and-greet comes next. Hey, I'm Sarah. [she wiggles the fingers of her right hand in a half-hearted wave] Nice to meet you, blah blah blah. While we're on the subject of introductions, I looked through the contestant list, and you guys have some wild names. Special shout out to "Belthazar" and "Adrasteius"... I can't tell if your parents were huge nerds, or if they just hated you.
So! Who all is out there? Don't be shy, I don't bite... much. [aaand yep, she accompanies that with another shit-eating-grin. She'll also be lounging around the Golden's kitchen area... Draped forward on the counter and snacking on her free pudding. Such a class act, this one.]

It's kind of mind boggling how we went from waiting for calls at home to... well, your flip phones and your smartphones and your... iPhone? [He knows of it, because he's heard it, but the passing unfamiliarity comes across as clear as day.]
action
Well I'm glad she's gotten you up to speed. Life without a cellphone sounds majorly inconvenient, sorry you had to go through that.
action
[He laughs, swishing his soda around a little.] It wasn't bad. Life's a little slower without them. You're on time more, because you can't just ping someone and go "hey, I'm running late." I like these things well enough, but I don't know. I don't mind talking to people if I get lost.
action
So, do you have any dirt on our other crew mates?
action
Nothing interesting. You know I still haven't met our captain, and it's been like four months?
Honestly, you might have better luck finding him.
