Sound-off, one, two

[thespaceopera]

[the interference is much better today! they really must be slowly leaving behind whatever cloud of radiation Diamond has been talking about, as the obligatory jingle comes in close to crystal clear. though, your host's voice still crackles a little before the signal finally irons itself out.]

Good morning, dear passengers-- both old and new! I hope you've all been enjoying all of this excitement! The Fleet is really building momentum, isn't it? The thrill of the local moons, all of this new activity, and our freshly booming ranks!

It's exciting... we're finally getting somewhere...

[she certainly sounds excited. almost edgy about it, really.]

Two whole ships are joining our ranks this week... bringing our number up to fourteen! Fourteen intrepid crews, fourteen fearless captains... [a pause, then] ...Sorry, fifteen. My mistake.

The SS Caprine and SS Starstruck join formation this week, with Captain Chopper and Captain... oh, my apologies again. [another pause...] The message must have gotten a little chewed up, folks. It looks like Captain Ellen-something, but the rest...

[and after another minute of thought, she finally gives up.]

Oh well, let's just go with that. Welcome to Captain Chopper and Captain Ellen! And we've lost Captain Henry this week, but First Mate Kingsley is stepping up to take control of the SS Bishop.

We wish you brave leaders all the luck as the Fleet gears up to make its way out of this region... and into the special surprise waiting for you in the month to come!

Enjoy yourselves! And remember-- the worlds are watching!

Ah, but I couldn't nearly request that a beautiful man in sheer silks put anything in my mouth but grapes. This is, after all, a public feed.

[And then, without missing a beat.]

They frown on drinking here, you see.

[Felix doesn't particularly care who he offends, but laughs anyway]

That sort of thing rarely stops me.

[Dorian raises his brows, and laughs.]

I see I will have to keep up with you, Felix.

[And then his smile softens a bit, and he feels something bittersweet at the thought of his friend Felix, back in Thedas, and the news he had just recieved of him, that Felix had passed on.

Felix Alexius was a good man, one of the best of them.

Dorian catches himself with a bit of a smile.]

Well, let us hope for our sakes that I'm right on this one.

[He gives Dorian a long look that is highly self-pleased and flickering briefly with a dark and distant expression of someone caught up in his imagination]

I could use some good news for once.
