[ A blonde woman with glasses and her hair up in a ponytail appears on the screen. She squints momentarily and then brightens and waves genially ]

Hi, my name is Kara, and this is pretty exciting, huh? Being in space and stuff… It's really not an opportunity that people from Earth, of which I am one, get too often. I wonder, what's everyone's favorite part about being in space? I think mine is looking out into the expanse and wondering what else is out there and, like, what everyone calls the toast with the egg in the middle? Toad in a hole? Egg's nest? What if it's some really weird name like "cyclops wheat square"?

[ she laughs, snorting slightly ]

How strange would that be?

Anyway, let me know! I can't wait to hear!

[ she waves enthusiastically and turns off the video ]

Things?

[survives]

Yeah... Things. [She laughs. It's likely not very convincing.

Ohhh, she better just say it...] The fleet's gotten attacked a couple times. I don't think anyone got hurt, but...

[A shrug.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, well, that doesn't sound... too bad?

[survives]

[Another laugh, almost surprised this time. Not too bad. Well, that's one way to put it.]

I guess so. Since we all didn't really get hurt or anything... Maybe we'll finally be ready next time!

[takingkarabusiness]

Every experience is an opportunity to learn, right?

[survives]

Even if it's something like weird ships shooting at our ships. Again and again!

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, maybe it'll only take one or two times...

[survives]

Maybe. I guess as long as it's not too many times...
