#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.

Hope not. Thanks for the warning.
... How'd you meet a guy who stopped aging at 14, though?

Through another client. He hired me for some mercenary jobs. Real prick of a client, always had crazy high demands and never paid nearly enough.

[But he shrugs, trying to make like it doesn't bother him as much as it does. Ugh. So much better not thinking about the past]
But that's how it is with mercenary work. Sometimes your clients are decent, sometimes they're royal pricks. But he's not a problem anymore, so not like he'll be a client again.

...I'd rather do mercenary work.
Video;
Well, can't fault you there. I'd rather be at home with my team.
Video;
Heh. Yeah. I'd be surprised if anyone really wants to be here.

[That's...comforting right??]

[little smile.]
But, hey, I'm making friends here. It's not so bad.
Video;
I guess it could be worse.
