Who: Sora
Broadcast: Video
Action: SS Golden
When: Today?

[The broadcast opens up with Sora who looks like he's sitting on the cargo bay floor of the Golden, surrounded with a few cleaning droids. When he speaks, he seems awfully cheerful]

You know, it occurs to me that I've almost been here two months- and I haven't really said hi to everybody!

So...Hiya! [He gives a wave to the camera] I'm Sora! I'm the maintenance guy on the SS Golden! Nice to meetcha all! Even if we've...already met!

[Yeah!]

Which, speaking of maintenance...! [He rubs the back of his neck] Ha, I'm pretty new at the job, so I was wondering if anyone knew, just out of curiosity...

What do you do when the smoke detector's smoking?

[Oops]

[ Sora... ]

Is it also beeping and/or on fire, too?

Video

[notzubats]

Well, no?

I mean, it was beeping. But now it's not! And I don't see any flames yet!

[sylphystia]

[oh my god]

What did you do this time?

audio;

[notzubats]

Oh, Dezel! Hey!

[He knows that voice!!]

Ha, well, the detector kept beeping! So I tried to fix it, since that's my job!

And it...didn't go as smoothly as I'd hope it would.

audio;

[sylphystia]

[... To be fair, he also would not know what to do in that instance.]

Did you break it?

[????? what is technology]

audio;

[notzubats]

...Probably?

audio;

[sylphystia]

[Dezel considers this... and decides he just doesn't care.]

Throw it out, I guess.

audio;

[notzubats]

You don't think we'll need it?

audio;

[sylphystia]

I can tell when something is burning.

[He's almost offended. He's a wind seraph, of course he can tell when something is up with the air.]

audio;

[notzubats]

Oh right! You can read the wind!

Okay, that settles it! I'll throw it out!

audio;

[sylphystia]

It isn't useful if it's broken, anyway.

[Your living smoke detector is invisible, but...]

Is anything else busted?

audio;

[notzubats]

Not...so far? Though I don't know what a lot of this stuff even does, so it's a little hard to tell.

audio;

[sylphystia]

Don't 'fix' the stove. That's my only request.

[He needs it... for reasons.]

audio;

[notzubats]

Your only-

[ ! ]

Wait. Does that mean you cook?

audio;

[sylphystia]

[A pause.]

Yes. [And because he likes Sora, he adds:] Do you like sweets?

audio;

[notzubats]

Sweets?

Ha- of course I do! How could you not?

[spontaneouscombustion]

[CHILD!]

Hey, Sora! I don't think smoke detectors are supposed to MAKE smoke; just detect it!

audio;

[sylphystia]

[deadpan]

Some people hate beautiful things.

[notzubats]

Hey- I know that much!

I was just trying to stop it from beeping, honest!

audio;

[notzubats]

Yeah, well I'm not one of those people!

[He'll gladly take those losers sweets]

But oh! Do you like rice balls?

[Video, BTW]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[You're one curly red hairdo away from being Eugene from Hey Arnold!, kid.]

Hmmm I dunno, I'd think putting smoke IN the detector would just make it beep MORE.

Ooh! If you put it in water or a vacuum, the combustion should stop! Probably wanna go with a vacuum since the water might shock people!

[Video, BTW]

[notzubats]

A vacuum, huh?

[HMMMM]

I guess I could just throw it out the airlock.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Hey, that'd work! Oh! But then where'd you get another smoke detector?

[notzubats]

I'll figure it out! In the meantime I got a crewmate whose really good at telling if there's smoke!

[spontaneouscombustion]

Okey-dokey-lokey! Lemme know if you need any help; I've got an Engineering augment!
