Who: Red Fish crew - Hange, Garak, Zhas and Coil
Broadcast: n/a
Action: On the Red Fish deck
When: shortly after the shuffle and Garak's arrival

[The ship is small enough that when their new crewmate appears, Hange can round up the boys just by taking a stroll through the ship and yelling.]

Zhas! Coil! We have a new recruit, let's meet in the galley!

[Time for everyone to get comfy with each other. And also, discuss ship upgrades, this seems like a convenient time to do that.]

Zhas there's an all right sort. Give the big guy plenty of space and he'll be more comfortable, might even come to you eventually.

Coil is subordinate to him and they know each other from before. If he gives you trouble you find unpalatable, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know. I'm not keen on interfering with that bond and breeding resentment there. [More resentment, that is.]

As for the rest of the people who've been brought here, I have less to say. I regret I can't introduce you to Cecil; she seems to be gone now. As for the others, I would say Emblica is reliable if you chance across her.

[Oh, now, that is interesting. He hasn't any ties to this woman, not in the least, and yet she's looking out for him.]

I'll keep all that in mind. I have no real quarrel with either of them; in fact, I was thinking of asking Coil if he might teach me sign language. Thank you.

[She is captain, after all. And used to directing squads of soldiers, whose lives she's responsible for. By now it's a reflex.]

You're welcome. Like I said before... I'm not looking for us to all be best of friends. But I expect everyone to get along professionally together.

Let me know if you have problems.

I most certainly shall. Do you know, by the way, why he puts such make-up on his face?

Personal history and preferences, I think.

[So mum's the word on that otherwise.]

I suppose we were all young once.

How old are you, out of curiosity?

Mm, what a question. Older than you, my dear, and too old to be comfortable with such a question.

[He's like 45? 50? Who knows.]

Now, now... don't take it personally...

[Really whetting her curiosity here, Garak.]

I should think that's answer enough.

[She grins... happy to let the matter drop for the moment.]

Well. I've more or less covered what I wanted to discuss with you for the moment.

[Oh, Hange. He'll enjoy evading your questions, he really will. Giving her a nod, he takes a step back.]

Then until we next speak, Captain.

[She nods and turns back to the viewing window - really relaxing now.]
