assume formation

[with everyone's augmentations having returned to proper functioning order, all interference has cleared from the network. Atroma's signal comes through loud and clear, with the usual jingle announcing this week's shuffle uninterrupted. and when it finishes, Diamond's voice rings out with overflowing excitement.]

Fifteen ships! ...Have you all looked out the windows, dear passengers? Have you noticed the way that the Fleet swells with life and activity? The SS Paisley drifts with us now, empty and waiting for someone to boldly take command.

...Will it be one of you? Or are we waiting on the next round of intrepid souls to fill her halls? The suspense is palpable! We're on the edge of our seats, here...

The first fifteen of the fleet are flying, and as a reward, they've all received a little boost. Just a little roomier, a little shinier, just for you.

[and she pauses for a deep, satisfied breath. give her just a moment.]

...As such, there are seven new souls joining our ranks this week, replacing the three that are leaving us. Please make them feel welcome!

The fleet is heading toward a special treat this month, since you've all been so wonderful. We will be stopping by one of the most famous historic getaway spots in this stretch of the system, so take advantage of it! There aren't many of these left in such pristine condition, so don't miss out.

And please behave yourselves. ...Though, I don't need to remind you of that, do I?

[she's grinning when she says it. it's there in her voice.]

Remember, the worlds are watching!

Wow. So you really do have experience like this place.

How'd you get out?

All we could do was play it out. [She sighs.] That time he was trying to make sense of human romantic attraction.

[Ew. Sokka pulls a face. ]

That is really creepy. Couldn't he just...ask? Instead of watching like a giant creep?

Of course not. [rolling her eyes] That would be too easy for him.

Right before I came here, he revealed to the Captain that he and his kind have apparently been studying humanity, testing us, putting us on trial, so to speak, to see if we were capable of someday evolving to be like them: beings of pure energy who can manipulate space and time.

Personally, I'll pass on the omnipotence if it means doing this [waving her hands vaguely at everything around them] to other people.

...Seriously. I mean, what's wrong with just being people? Being people is pretty awesome.

[She scoffs.]

They don't even remember how to be people anymore. They claim to be all-powerful and all-knowing, yet they struggle to understand something as essential as love.

That's...kinda sad, if you really think about it.

It is. I met a young woman who turned out to be one of them, though she didn't know it for years, so she has lived as a human for most of her life. I am hoping that she will be able to change their perspective, at least a little.

Yeah. Fingers crossed. That sounds pretty awful.
