#002 [Video]
Who: Hiro Hamada and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: SS Bishop!
When: 3/8, in the afternoon
[What's that sound? The sound of an alarm going off. What's that video feed? Well, right now the camera is set on a bobblehead that is rattling like crazy. Its base has been elongated, and from under said base flashes (slowly) a red light. Then it turns blue after two buzzer sounds from the alarm. Then yellow. Then orange. Then green. Then purple. Back to red. It continues to cycle as Hiro turns the camera to face him, and he's bobbing his head with the beat of the buzzer while standing at a control panel of different metal than the ship that has been welded onto the wall by the door to the main deck. Every time he presses a button on said panel, the light changes color. Then he hits a small green button above a large red button on the side, and the whole thing stops.
[Yes, the entire Bishop was just subjected to that without warning.]
Pretty cool, huh?
[Hiro looks like a cat who just caught his very first bird.]
It's all hooked up to our control panels, but I can't program it to do everything I need it to until we have a pilot and a communications officer. Right now, we have fire, gas, and the latter half of the collision alarms. I still need to program one for docking and to hook up another to the radar so we can know when we're headed dangerously close to something that could damage the ship. Right now, we've only got one that tells us we've been hit.
[SHRUG.]
But since, for some reason, everything under the control panel looks like gibberish to me... [he takes a moment to look into the camera like he's on the office] ... we get to wait until we have someone more "competent" [airquotes!] than I am.
[VOICE EDITED IN LATER]
P.S., if there are any communications officers who wanna hop ship over to the Bishop for keeps, let me know. It'll work out best if you're one of two on your current ship.

One girl was brought in a little after I was, she was 10? Because she accidentally set her parents' inn on fire when she had a nightmare. 7 people died, including her parents.
It's young, but... if we don't learn how to control it, we are dangerous.

... Well, I guess you'd be living proof of a mage being in control and awesome.
no subject
Something like that, I guess. [ laughs ]
Are you in a school, back home? For your... robots and everything?
no subject
Yep. The way school works where I come from, you start at age 5 and go to 17, and then you graduate. Then you have the choice to apply to colleges and go as long as you want. I graduated high school at 13, and I go to the same college my brother went to.

[ She kind of could've guessed that, though. Otherwise why was he the first one to have built something like that alarm? Noise aside, it seemed very useful. ]
no subject
Yeah, maybe a little. The college I go to has the best robotics program in the country.
