Who: Ravi Chakrabarti and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: HS Marsiva
When: Pre-shuffle!

[When Ravi wakes up in a completely unfamiliar bunk, his first thought is that he's been whisked back to the zombie camp with the unmentionable name and is about to have a bevy of overenthusiastic, purple gorilla nurses descend upon him. But as the minutes tick by uneventfully, he decides to brave the unknown to explore his surroundings and - despite the perplexities of his current situation - is visibly delighted by everything he sees. When he finally gets the hang of the communicator, his hands are actually shaking from the excitement of it all, making his image a little blurry onscreen.]

Apparently I'm in space! Which is actually pretty bloody brilliant! It's a definite upgrade from my previous zombie camp escapade, let me tell you, but I have so many questions!

[He looks like he's about to start rambling for hours on end, but manages to visibly reel himself in first. It's probably best to start with the basics.]

I'm Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti and I suppose this makes me a new member of this fleet, if there is a fleet. Which I'm pretty sure there is since I'm just about one hundred percent certain I could see other ships from the viewing area.

[A huge grin breaks out over his face as he mentally processes this again.]

I'm part of a fleet and I'm broadcasting in space! I mean, look, I'm obviously not thrilled about being displaced from home again, but if it has to happen, at least I'm on an actual, honest-to-God spaceship! And if anyone can provide some information on why exactly I'm in space, I'd be much obliged. Don't get me wrong, I could only have ever dreamed about all this robotic medical equipment in the last place, but at least the gorilla nursing staff was a bit more communicative.

It must have been quite the grapevine. Though you're not the first person to say so.

[ He shrugs loosely. ]

I know a little of my reputation and how it seems to persist in various places. I can't say I know much more than that. Various planes of reality, alternate and otherwise means that the perception people hold are vastly different from my own.

Ah, that's very kind of you to say so. So! What do you specialize in?
axiomed: (Sober or not)

The Center of Disease Control? What made you switch?

What kind of biological warfare?

[ Certainly didn't seem big enough to fire someone. ]

[ He catches on quickly. ]

Ah, if you feel like it. I'd hate to pry.

Well, if you're comfortable with it, my door is always open.

[ Though he's . . . surprised by the response. Charles is more used to a wary reply than an open one. ]

Not at all. Please, feel free.

[ He nods. ]

I'm usually on the Heron or the Iskaulit, holding my sessions.

[ Enthusiasm. What a bizarre, but beautiful thing. ]

All right. I'll see you soon.
