Who: Tim Drake AND YOU.
Broadcast: Fleetwide video & text stream.
Action: The Marsiva.
When: 1/29; evening.
[Tim has been pacing the deck, finding every corner, every computer console, working furiously to research whatever he can since the moment he woke up. Knowledge is a form of control; secrecy is another, and he has far too much of one and absolutely no guarantee of the second, and it makes him edgy. But once he's gotten a grip on the basic concept, delaying makes no sense.]
[The video broadcast reveals a young man - eighteen, give or take a few months - in a trim blue suit and red tie, dark hair neatly parted but still falling into his eyes, which are blue and unmistakably angry or tense no matter how well we modulates his tone and keeps it off the rest of his face, crisp and professional.]
Good... evening, I think, is the local time? Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne, Pilot Officer reporting for duty - or I will be soon, if I'm getting the right idea here. I wanted to reach out and touch base before I was assigned - get an idea of what the ships are like, who I might be serving with, how long everyone's been here. Anything you can tell me would be appreciated.

But his handshake is firm, crisp, precise.]
So, do I call you Hiro, or Hamada-san?
[The question is lighthearted but still serious.]
Not survival, exactly. Although I did watch that movie about the kid who spends a summer stranded in Canada with only a hatchet.

U-uh, just... Hiro is fine.
[Wow, look at his face get red.]
Y'know, I'm pretty sure I caught that one, but I think it was one of those three-day all-nighters. Details are a little fuzzy. I'm kind of a fan of old kung-fu movies, myself.

[Grinning away here. He's actually enjoying this conversation.]
So, I heard you say they made you a pilot?

I might have been under-selling a little with the motorcycle remark. But I haven't done anything remotely close to that.
no subject
Pretty awesome, right? I've never built a bike, though. Got a friend who loves 'em, I bet she'd like to see what you can do.
no subject
You'll have to tell me what kind of machine shops are available here. Something like that - I can think of a dozen uses off the top of my head.

I'm really glad we met, Hiro. Things are looking up already.
