[The first clue Vash had was waking up and finding out he had been made Captain. That seemed odd. He hadn't been captain for more than a couple days before Ino put in the request when this cycle first began. It was confirmed when he checked Ino's room and she was not just in deep sleep but gone completely.

He finds the letter left for him and smiles. He really isn't sure what happens when people leave. Most seem to think they go home. He likes that idea and hopes it's true. Alright, his first responsibility as captain. Let people know.

Being captain sucks.

He'll find the crew of the Three Twins personally and speak to them one on one if they haven't already found out themselves. Then he should next tell... oh man. This was not going to be easy.]

Private to Hiro

Hiro. Are you there? It's Vash. I need to speak to you.

[Because he at least deserves to be told in person one on one. In fact everyone who who had a gift left behind will get a private message from Vash.]

Private to those getting gifts

Hello, this is Vash of the SS Three Twins. I need to speak with you please. [If Vash knows you it will likely be a little less formal.]

Open to all

[Vash wishes he knew all of Ino's friends. So he could let them all know one on one. With no one else he could think of and the ones with gifts having been notified Vash let's everyone else know.]

Hello Fleet. I'm sorry to say that Ino has been returned home. [It's nicer to say than vanished. True or not.] So I have been made captain of the SS Three Twins. She was a great Captain and I know she will be missed. I'm sorry everyone.

Shuttle responds even quicker to turns than this one does. Of course, the controls are a bit simpler. Give it a bit of time and you should be able to take a shuttle to the different ships. Not sure if there's anyone else here from your world you want to visit yet.

Nah, no one from home. But I think I can safely say I've made some new friends! Plus there's a couple of engagements I'd like to keep. But I'll see if I can get this cooking thing sorted before I blast off around in space.

That's good! Glad you're making friends already! Helps keep this place from feeling lonely. And if you do have any engagements you need to keep, until you're feeling confident with the controls I'm happy to drive you anywhere.

Think you can teach me how to take those shuttles for a spin sometime?

Sure thing. Although you may not need it. This large ship is a bit more complex, but the shuttles your augment should be able to tell you how to drive those.

So is there some kind of sign-out sheet or something along those lines for when we take a shuttle?

Not really. Mostly just take them out when you need to. There's two and there hasn't really been an issue yet with three people wanting them all at the same time to go in three different places.

Brilliant! I can't wait for my first big space adventure!

[Vash grins. Loving Ravi's enthusiasm.] Well, we have been drifting for a bit now. Hopefully we'll come up to a new planet soon and give you a bit more to explore and see.

Do we have to wear spacesuits? Please say there are spacesuits involved.

Well, we had to wear gas masks on one planet. Most we had not needed spacesuits. But on the bright side! No need to worry about suffocating while having fun?

Suffocation does tend to be lower on my list of "things to try".

And you could wear the space suit even if you don't need to. It could be fun.

Just, the people on the planet might find you a bit odd.

Technically I would still be considered an alien from their perspective, so they might find me odd, regardless!

That is a very good point. I mean, I suppose that makes us alien to each other. Hopefully you won't find me too odd.

[He's just not a human. Probably not a big deal.]

The complete opposite! Are you from a different planet?

Probably. [Seeing as he hasn't started screaming about being on a ship with the Humanoid Typhoon Vash is assuming Ravi isn't from his home.] Unless you've heard of the Planet Gunsmoke. Or some call it No Man's Land.

Okay, but the Planet Gunsmoke sounds much, much cooler than the Planet Earth.

I dunno. I like the sound of Planet Earth better myself. Sounds a lot more peaceful than something with the word gun in it's name.

Touché. I like my violence limited to video games, really. Although I suppose I wouldn't have much of a job without violence in the real world.

I don't know about that. Even without violence people get sick or hurt by mistake.

Ah, see, I'm actually a forensic pathologist, so I don't really have patients, per se...

Oh. [That is a bit harder. Vash is quiet for awhile except for a soft hum as he tries to think about this.] Well, you could-- um.

Hm.

Er, you must have some other kind of talent of job you might enjoy. Right? HAHAHAHAHA!

I personally have a passion for epidemiology!

Great! Then you'll have something to fall back on then! That sounds pretty important! Helping people from getting sick and such!
