Action: Blue Fish if you're there
When: February 8th

[Some of the older fleet members may recognize Allen coming on the screen, in his lab for yet again, one of his video messages. He at least seems to be getting more comfortable at the idea of speaking in front of the camera- or more likely from the slightly tired tone in his voice, he's too tired from dealing with the antics of his energetic captain to give many damns]

Hello everyone! For those who don't know me, I'm Allen Walker-, the lab assistant on the S.S. Blue Fish. Just a few quick things today I'd like to say!

First of all, some of you may have noticed odd behaviors from your crewmates recently. The source of this is believed to be some malfunction from our augment implant. Luckily, I've done some scans and while there seems to be unusual activity - I haven't detected any actual brain damage so far! Beyond that, there's a lot I still don't know, I'll let you know if I learn anything else on the matter.

Second of all, due to the coming of the romantic holiday on some worlds called Valentine's Day, the augment malfunctions and the moons in this system- I'd like to go over some things to keep in mind for an easier month:

[He starts numbering them off with his finger as he talks.]

1. Please remember not to eat or drink anything if you don't know where it came from.

2. Some of the malfunctions seem to be causing....sudden attraction to other people that did not exist previously. Please keep that in mind before you make any impulsive...er, romantic decisions.

3. And if you ignored #2 and you decide to compulsively get married, I...highly recommend you check the divorce and annulment policies in this area of space. Just... [He hesitates before shaking his head] believe me on this one. It might save you a lot of trouble in the future.

That's all I have for now. If your ship still needs a medical kit, please contact me and I can get one delivered.

Thank you for listening.

[He waves at the camera a bit sheepishly, and the feed cuts out]

[Maybe this is safer? Words aren't hot, right? ]

I think you should underline that one several times, just to make sure. Also they need to check the laws on polygamy, because that was a rats nest.

...I wonder if being in another dimension technically makes me a bachelor again?

Action!

[Since the whole brain scanning...incident, Sokka has taken to wearing a tin foil hat around the ship. This is something interesting enough for him to come and investigate, though. ]

So, what's this Vahlenties all about? Is it the creepy stalker holiday, or something?

Thank you for the information. Do you know whether that means this will be temporary, Allen?

[Shirley looks all too chipper when she starts out, but the yawn she gives about ten seconds later belies the effect the malfunctions are having on her too. Another yawn, a curious look, and she asks a second question.]

Is there really a holiday just for getting married?

Here's hoping most of that advice won't be necessary ...

[Axel is laughing. Like he's just so amused right now.]

So do you think that the ship captains are capable of marrying people, like oldschool ship captains could? [The idea of him pronouncing somebody married is just really hilarious to him.]

You're kidding, right? This is a warning you have to give?

[ As weird as it is, Chris is now realizing he may need to keep a closer eye on his dad. They don't need a rehash of trying to get Chris conceived all over again... ]

Huh... I just assumed that you guys were all naturally crazy.

[ms. helpful, right here]

So it's not always like this?
