Who: Finn and everyone else!
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: Marsiva
When: Today

[As is common with new arrivals, there are a few very confused moments of waking up and scrambling around before the Fleet's newest arrival manages to find and switch off the nearest camera.

About half an hour later and significantly less panicked-looking, he switches it back on. Some quality time spent with his augment answered the pressing questions, like where am I and why aren't there any weapons here, and that he's not going to get an answer to are my friends okay without a little further input from him. So. If they're here, he reasons, they'll recognize him.]

Shouldn't there be more people here? Or do I get to be the only lucky winner this week?

The name's Finn. There are people on the other ships out there, right?

[Look it's very lonely on the Marsiva right now.]

Well... I've been working on an information guide for the new people. Want me to just send that over? It should tell you most things.

That'd be real good. Yeah.

[It probably has questions he hasn't even thought to ask....]

One second.

[She starts messing around on the communicator, and then a link appears on his.]

[Finn does a quick scan and realizes he's going to have to read this in depth.]

This should help a lot. I appreciate it.

No problem. If you've got any questions, you can send a message to my communicator. I'm basically always free, so I'll do what I can to help.

Will do.

And maybe we'll end up on the same ship?

It's possible, but... you might not like that. You seem like a rational person, and we've got a singing horse over here.

Is that bad?

[WHAT'S A HORSE?]

That depends entirely on how much you like things making sense, I guess. He's a decent person, just...

You're not a fan of singing.

I mean, my friend's copilot is a huge walking rug that can rip your arms off, but he's all right.

Nah, I don't mind singing, though I object to the accordion.

... Stupid question. Do you mean like a literal rug? Because that would still not be the weirdest thing I've seen since being taken to these places.

All right, singing and playing an instrument might be too much.

Naw, he's a Wookiee. They're like eight feet tall and have really long fur but they're humanoid otherwise.

Yeah. It's pretty bizarre.

Oh. That doesn't sound too weird, at least. And they're strong, I take it.

Yeah. I'm not exaggerating about pulling your arms off.

Useful to have on a ship crew, though. Panel gets stuck, no problem.

... I bet, but that does sound a little frightening...

...Yeah. But he's a good friend.

That's what's important, then.

[Anyway, it's not that weird, when she thinks about it. She has several friends who could probably rip off arms just as easily.]

I don't think I introduced myself yet, by the way. I'm Nightingale.

Good to meet you, Nightingale. And which ship are you on?

The Bishop. I used to be on the Caprine, but the Atroma moved me, for some reason I've never been clear on. Both of them are pretty good ships, though.

All right. And thanks again.
