Who: ELN-1470
Broadcast: Yes! Fleet-wide
Action: On the Starstruck
When: 3/7

[ ELN broadcasts from the control room of the Starstruck. She is sitting on a control panel, because that's the only way she can reach the controls: by walking over them. ]

It has come to my attention that the vast majority of you have - [ a brief pause, a sigh ] - names. Which means that, in the interests of efficiency, I must have one as well.

[ Really, she wants to know what it feels like, to have that kind of mark of individuality. But she pretends at disdain. ]

I do not know how an individual goes about procuring a name. Therefore, I offer the first three letters of my designation - E-L-N. You may proffer suggestions based on those.
ino: (Oops?)

Uh ... well, usually the person's parents gives them a name when they're born.

But if you don't have that ... is there anybody you know or heard about that you admire or you'd like to be like? You could name yourself after them!
ino: (I don't get it.)

Uh ....

[ Aren't you a pleasant one? ]

Really? There's no one you've met that you aspire to be like?

Or maybe ... a character in a book you read? It doesn't have to be a real person.
ino: (Cheerful.)

You should try it. You might find it interesting, and you've got all the time in the world now.

Well, how would you describe yourself, then? Sometimes people tend to pick names based on what they think the person's personality would be like.
ino: (Let me explain.)

[ A little laugh ... ]

I'm not sure if "efficient" is necessarily something people would put into a name meaning. But -- you could do "Kamiko"? It's usually written to mean "superior". Or "Noriko", that one is "exemplary".

They're from where I come from, yeah. I don't know many names otherwise. [ Just the names of the people she's met ]
