Good morning!

[thespaceopera]

[Sometime during what the ships' clocks claim as Friday morning, a peppy musical jingle rings out through the speakers all over the ship. It is soon followed by a female voice that should be familiar to most by now]

Good morning, dear passengers! I hope you are all doing well and listening closely, because our broadcast serves two very important functions today!

Firstly, this is the Twelfth Cycle's very first Drift Fleet Shuffle! ...For those of you who don't know, the Shuffle occurs every week, and it's where we all say hello to new faces, goodbye to old friends, and find out how the crews have changed!

This week, we are welcoming four new passengers into the flock, so please keep an eye out for any unfamiliar faces being beamed into your cargo holds, and give them a warm welcome. Other than that, it seems that no one has filed to rearrange their crews-- isn't that wonderful? I'm so glad you're all getting along!

There have been changes in rank however, so I would like to heartily congratulate the Twelfth Cycle's first round of captains on obtaining their illustrious new titles!

We applaud you, Captain Rogers, Captain Harvey, Captain Hange, Captain Stark, Captain Crowley, Captain Kouzuki, Captain Cress, Captain Ichimaru, Captain Redbreast, and Captain... [a bit of a pause] ...Stampede?

[and yes... that might be the sound of applause in the very distant background]

And now, with the Shuffle out of the way, we can move onto what we've all really been waiting for-- the fleet's arrival in our first system! Starting today, the fleet will be moving into range of some outer way-stations, so be sure to visit them to refuel and stretch your legs. The way-stations in this area aren't much to look at, but still good for curing cabin fever, socializing, and doing a little shopping. We will also be coming into range of our first planet, but that won't be until later on in the month... so, don't worry about it now! You'll be hearing more about it later.

For now, just relax and enjoy yourselves! Remember, the worlds are watching!

W-Wait — I think there's been some mistake. I can't be a Captain!

Ooooh my. Congratulations, Captain Redbreast, con-grat-u-lat-ions. [She sing-songs the last word. :> Try not to fly them into a wall Robs.]

[aberrant_type]

Congratulations to all my fellow captains! [oh she sounds tickled pink] Let's all work together to support each other and do a great job! Oh, and we should have a party!

Way-stations, huh...

[ he gives a gusty sigh of relief--pale-faced and tired, it's easy to see riku hasn't gotten much sleep. ]

At least there's a place to get away from these ships. They can't be as cramped as these are, if they're stations. Maybe there's a chance to meet people in this part of space.

Wha-Wait! That's not-- [Wait. If he's trying to keep his nickname quiet he probably shouldn't be shouting about it so easily.]

[Crowley doesn't like positions of authority. Mostly because he knows, from the grand scope of every historical event ever, the guy in charge is the first in the firing line when stuff goes wrong.]

I demand a recount. Or an abdication. I'll abdicate right now.
