[video;]

[Today there's a blue fish lady onscreen. She ROARS and slams a conjured lance through the nearest table, splitting it in half. Poor hospitality deck, it never asked for this. She grabs the spear and looks at the console with a discerning yellow eye. The other eye is covered by an eyepatch and a bit of red hair.]

No one captures me. Not unless they have a DEATH WISH!

[She brandishes her spear with a twirl and shoves it solidly into the floor. Her grin shows jagged sharky teeth, and it nearly splits her face in half. Is she making you uneasy? Good.]

It's been a while since I had a real fight. Come out of hiding, cowards! I'll show you why I was made captain of the Royal Guard!

[A captain in... a muscle tank and skinny jeans, sure. Whatever.]

If you happen to draw them out, I'll be impressed. They don't ever show themselves- not really.

They SHOULD. If you have a problem with someone, the best solution is to duke it out! It's so obvious.

[She scoffs and reaches out for her conjured lance, then twists it into the floor a bit more.]

Is this really space? It's nothing like the human history books.

I don't think they feel the same. They would lose.

[ Then again, the Atroma are cowards. ]

It's space, but no one knows where in space.

With all the people who want to kill them? They would.

[Bastards.]

It's pretty. Pretty big! But where are all the giant robots? [She says this with the tone of someone who was promised a pony.]

[ He blinks at her. ]

..Giant robots? [ What? ]

I don't know if we have those.

[Poor Bucky never expects the anime.]

WHAT? No giant robots? But what if aliens attack?

[She pauses.]

I'll have to ask someone on that planet. We're gonna have to be able to defend ourselves somehow.

[ Anime wasn't even a guess on his long list of expectations. ]

They already have..sort of. We handled it.

[Poor Bucky. His life is so strange.]

Oh!! You did? Tell me about the battle! There was a great battle, right!?

Well.. They came in other ships that attacked the fleet. Not many could fight back, but they didn't do irreparable harm.

[ His life is the strangest, tbh. ]

[It's not as exciting as giant mechas, but she'll take it.]

That's good to hear.

Not all the ships could fight back, huh? I bet we could change THAT.

It has to do with the augments on the ship.. Not every ship has someone with a security augment. I guess you can only do so much without them.

[ He shrugs a shoulder. ]

Why not just move people around? That's what I do when there's not enough coverage for an area.

I don't know. I'm not in charge.

[Poor Winter. He never signed up for this.]

Why not?

[She tilts her head, looking at him.]

If you're strong and you've got stuff to teach other people, why not be in charge?

Then again, some people are the follower types. That's fine, too. But if you have any interest in being a leader yourself, go for it!

[ He definitely signed up for nothing. ]

I don't think I would make a good leader.

[ Not like the current Captain- not like Jim. ]

I take it you're the leader type?

[Her expression softens at the edges. She's reminded a bit of someone she cares about.] No one thinks they'd be a good leader. Not the kind of people you want in charge, anyway.

But yeah! I wouldn't want to lead a whole country or anything. Being a captain just kind of... happened? I joined up because I wanted to fight the bad guys. Next thing I know, I'm training recruits!

You proved to be good at what you do. People like that- having someone strong to follow.

[ Willing to follow someone into the jaws of death for the cause- all for the sake of who is leading. ]

I guess so. I get nervous sometimes, but that's because I know realistically I can't protect everyone-- but I don't want anyone to get hurt because of my orders. Or because I wasn't there.

Thankfully, I don't have to worry about that since we're at peace!

[She smiles toothily.]

What's your name, human? I'm Undyne.

[ He can't remember peace before coming to the Fleet. Not clearly, anyway. But this-- this is okay for now. He's glad someone can be at peace, at least. ]

It's Winter.

[ Sorry, Undyne, he's not very smiley. ]
