+1 unhappy time traveler
Who: Ramse and YOU
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: SS Starstruck, if you want to come and find him
When: soon after the shuffle!
[ To say that Ramse is displeased is an understatement. This is the second time he's been yanked from one world to another, and where the first was actually an improvement, this second place is... not. Outerspace. Really. Really?! They don't even have space travel in his time, though he knows that in the past people made it as far as the moon. Nothing like this. His outrage at being taken is the overwhelming thing, though. He was happy in Eudio, where there was food and people he cared for. They told him they were sending him home (something he already had mixed feelings about) and instead he's here. Having to learn a new way of life all over again and excuse me it's being watched?
He's found the armory and the clothes in his bunk room, at least, so now he's dressed and armed. He sits in the cold empty space while he fiddles with the communicator. It turns out to be easy to use, and when he makes a broadcast his voice is deep and grumbly. Someone's sooooo cranky. ]
So let me get this straight, I'm new and might not have understood. We're here... to be entertainment. Not to save the world, not to help with a war, not to do anything productive at all.
Yeah. How do we leave?

No, but - maybe I was so happy there that I was waiting for the "too good to be true" moment. Maybe I didn't come as far as I'd thought while I was there.
[When he continues on, though, she's reminded of how dire his situation was again, and she looks up at him as much as she can from her position.] I think so, too. I really do. I'm a terrible black cloud right now, don't mind me, I should be happy with you here.
Oh, nothing too grueling. I'm in communications, so I'm in charge of incoming and outgoing broadcasts, any maintenance to the comm center and the individual comms on our ship, scrambling and unscrambling coded messages... apparently there's some diplomacy involved as well, so we'll just wait and see how that goes when it comes up. [She flashes a lopsided smile at that.] Thank god there are two other communications officers along with me.

There are three of you on one ship, huh? I'm not the only security officer on mine either. People are saying the fleet's overcrowded right now.
