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.]

I wish. Seriously, I'm from 1998, so cell phones weren't that big.

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.]

Guess I'll have to wait seventeen years and see.

[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.

[Good question. Shawn has to think about it for a bit, before finally shaking his head.]

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.
