Who: Allen Walker
Broadcast: Video!
Action: Blue Fish
When: Today!

[For those who have been here awhile, it's a familiar feed. Allen's standing in behind a table in the lab, looking positive. Meanwhile Timcanpy sits behind him on a shelf, wearing a glowy stripe ribbon on his tail while he flaps his wings around- as if doing some sort of sign language interpretation for what Allen's saying]

Hello everyone! For those who don't know me, I'm Allen Walker, I'm one of the medics in the fleet. There seems to be a lot of new faces lately, so...either welcome aboard, or sorry you've been dragged into this- whatever you'd prefer.

[He clears his throat]

Anyway, just a couple quick announcements today! We'll be holding our bi-monthly blood drive the first weekend of February! The blood donated will be kept in case of medical emergencies that require a blood transfusion - in other words, using scientific methods to help someone whose lost a lot of blood. If you are interested in donating, we will pay you in money! In fact, we'll even pay you double the rate we usually pay since I know many of you are tight on funds.

So if you're interested and you're over the age of 16, please fill out the form attached to this video. [And what do you know, it's there] If you're interested in volunteering, please let me know. Vampires interested in volunteering will need to be able to have restraint around blood and will not be allowed to sample the blood.

This time, the drive will take place on the SS Paisley [Due to someone's psychotic sister making Blue Fish tightening up security], a thank you to Captain Alex and First Mate Stefan for the hospitality.

And of course, there will be cookies.

[Right, that out of the way]

Secondly, I'm sure everyone has noticed by now the crates that showed up in their cargo bay. My crewmate's scanner managed to detect they are gumballs inside that contain some unfamiliar substance. If there's anyone whose already opened their crate and would be willing to donate some of the cargo to our lab for us to study, we would be happy to give you money for it. [Though not nearly enough to cover the fee you'll get for breaking it open. Suckahs] Thank you.

That's all I have for today. Thank you and have a wonderful day! [He gives a wave, then cuts the feed]

[OOC: As always, the blood drive will be handwaved!]

I'm managing somehow! [MOMO swings her arms back and forth happily.]

How about yourself Allen? Have you been well?

[She assume he has been, Allen's diligently working and he looks healthy but it never hurts to ask regardless.]

I'm glad to hear that. Are you still on the Marsiva?

And I've been fine! Mostly been working and exploring the station- it's huge!

No, I transferred over to the Starstruck recently. I don't know what to think of it yet, it's all so sudden.

[She'll find out for herself what it's like!]

That's great! Did you find neat stuff?

The Starstruck, huh? [He's pretty sure he doesn't know anyone over there...] I can understand that, it takes a bit to get used to everything.

[He rubs his chin]

Mostly just overly priced stuff. But it really neat that they have actual parks in the station.

I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out! The Starstruck can't be all that bad.

[It doesn't look like terrible people are on board at first glance anyways. She'll probably be fine there.]

The parks are nice, I agree. Everyone looks like they're having so much fun playing in them.

It's probably not. I'm sure you'll make friends there.

[Since hey you seem like the type that can make friends easily]

Mm! Well it's been a long time since we've seen actual green. I think the last time was...July?

I hope so! [MOMO smiles energetically. She may be a realian but she was designed to accept warmth from others. Despite being entirely composed of metal parts and the like she still responds similarly to a human being.]

Wow, that's a long time. It's too long if you ask me. Even back where I was from we had plenty of green forests.

Really? I always thought you guys traveled in space all the time.

We did! It was normal for us. Did Jr. Tell you? On Second Miltia there's huge parks in the city.

Huh. I didn't know that.

[He gives a nod]

He did. He was always going on about future technology and how behind we all were. But I think despite the complaining, he liked it as well... [He sure geeked out a lot about Earth stuff]

That does sound like Jr. [She says it in a good way rather than bad.]

Well, it is true our technology goes beyond what's available here. What's it like at your place?

Where I originally come from?

Oh, it's not advanced at all. Electricity only started being a part of people's lives recently. This place is centuries ahead of us, at least.

Oh wow.

You're that far back, huh? That's amazing to me. I had no idea.

It must be shocking for you to be here.

Ha...not really. I'm used to strange things happening. And before I came here, I spent time in a place that was a bit more advanced...and strange. So that helped!
