Who: Hiro and EVERYONE
Broadcast: Fleetwide Video
Action: SS Bishop
When: 1/31


[The video starts in on Hiro, who is reclined as far as the console chair will go. His feet are likely somewhere they should not be, holding him in the position. The comm is on top of his knees, recording him playing with an ostrich bobblehead.

[After a moment, he grins at the comm, and begins his little speech.]

Good--[a quick glance at the console]--afternoon, space cadets. Engineer Hiro Hamada, reporting for duty on the SS Bishop.

Gotta say, I'm not exactly thrilled to be here, but hey. I don't get a choice, right?

[He takes in a deep breath, looking around the deck of the ship. He lets his cheeks puff up with the air, slowly deflating as his lungs empty.]

I hope the crew here doesn't mind some remodeling. This place could use some work.

[... Awww. A baby engineer.]

Welcome to the fleet! What do you say, should I call you Engineer or Cadet? [He looks that young.]

[everydayhero]

[He snorts.]

Just Hiro works. Nice to meet you...?

Zoe Hange! Call me Hange. Welcome to the fleet! I see you already have a project. Good initiative, kiddo.

[everydayhero]

Hange. Got it.

Eh, I like to keep busy. [He shrugs, but that smirk says he's already showing off.]

[aberrant_type]

The fastest way to get bored is to give yourself nothing to do! More people should try it. [Liking keeping busy, apparently.

Jeez he looks young. About the youngest she's seen here - and an Asiatic type, well, sometimes they look younger than they are.]

So tell me, what's your plan to start? I'm curious.

[ Aaaaaand here is your new captain, coming into the room without even knocking! How polite! ]

Nice to meet you~ Did you have your welcome food yet?

action

[everydayhero]

[hey man, he's the captain. Hiro's shoulder jump just slightly, and he turns around in his chair, snatching the comm off of his knees.]

--uh. Y-yeah. I did. Does everybody get pudding, or does it vary?

action

[carreau]

I think it's the same thing for everyone!

Oh, right~ I'm your captain, Henry~

[ And no, he will never stop sounding cheerful. ]

action

[everydayhero]

Oh!

[He stands up immediately, and bows lightly.]

Nice to meet you!

[isn't it great how nervous he gets once someone actually has authority over what he just said]

[ladiesss]

Oh, good! I was about to go looking for any new people, since I heard the announcement...

[hi Hiro! there's a gothy-looking teenage girl peering at him through the screen, but she looks happy to see him! she's also... whispering, for some reason.]

I'm Krista. I'm like, in the other room. [a wave! hehehe.]

video;

[everydayhero]

[oh hey awesome wait why are we whispering. he drops down to a whisper with her, just in case.]

Nice to meet you, Krista. What other room are you in?

[He feels like they're playing a game. What are we doing.]

video;

[ladiesss]

Um... The bunk... Room...

[thankfully she's gotten much better at noticing when other people start whispering because she's whispering... so she blinks, after a second, and shakes her head.]

Oh, you don't have to whisper too, I just kind of have this throat thing going on. This is as loud as I get.

[everydayhero]

[He looks a little embarrassed, but he smiles.]

Oh. Sorry about that.

[whoops]]

Is it a permanent kind of thing?

Hi there, Engineer Hiro Hamada, engineer Sokka - captain of the Blue Fish here.

I'm pretty sure all the ships could use work.

Video

[everydayhero]

Nice to meet you, Captain Sokka. [griiiin]

Maybe we can collaborate and bounce ideas off each other? If we figure out something that could benefit all of the ships, we could help everybody implement it.

[alwayscomeback]

Hey, I'd be all for that. The more improved all our ships are, the better. We need everything we can get if we're ever gonna spring outta here.

[everydayhero]

So the plan is to escape, huh? We kinda need ratings to get the supplies we need, though, don't we?

Video

[detectivewonder]

Even if we're on different ships, we should keep networking. New kids should stick together, et cetera et cetera.

Video

[everydayhero]

It'd be a crime not to.

[FRIEND.]

So I'm guessing you're one of the guys on the new-old ship?

Video

[detectivewonder]

Captain Drake, apparently. Don't know if it's pilot's privilege or if I just seemed like I'd be most entertaining in command.

Video

[everydayhero]

Captain! Wow, hot-shot. Climbed the ranks pretty fast there, didn't you?

Maybe it's because you're the most qualified.

[ino]

Nice to meet you, Hiro! I'm Ino, captain of the Three Twins.

video;

[everydayhero]

[WOW PRETTY GIRL]

Uh. [Wait how do I--

Ahem.]

Nice to meet you, Captain Ino. [help]

video;

[ino]

Just Ino is fine.

[ And she's all smiles. What a cute little babbu ... ]

So you said you're an engineer?

video;

[everydayhero]

[please don't notice the gap in my teeth]

Oh, yeah. I'm pretty happy with it, all things considered. If I have to be here, I'd rather be doing something I like to do, right?
