[Network | Video from the HS Marsiva - Friday 17th]

[Waking up in a strange place is, sadly, something Shiro has done before. A couple of times actually. He must admit, though, he appreciates the lack of a headache this time. The worry is strong when he realizes he lost communication with his team, and there's nobody around to answer his questions. At least that means not bad guys either?

His body feels great (how, after that battle?) so he doesn't waste time investigating. Moments later he's at the cafeteria, eating something that is not goo (thank goodness) and going through the files on his new communicator. The idea of a reality show and that augment implanted in his head isn't well received at all, but there's something more urgent he should check on first. There are no signs of it on the network, but you can never be too safe.

The feed starts as he's taking off his helmet, his sci-fi-ish suit of armor and the calmness he speaks with not making him look a newbie at all. Someone familiar with military training, though, may find a bit of that on him.]

Hello. I'm Shiro, a new arrival to this... fleet. [He's about to say "this show" but ugh, he doesn't want to think about that.] Space isn't news to me, but alternative universes are. So I still feel I must ask: has any of you encountered or heard of an alien race called Galra? They aren't good news, and I wouldn't want them to have followed me here. Thanks for any information you can provide.

[The confetti is met with an unamused face, and Shiro is still brushing it off his armor as he makes his way through the ship, helmet under an arm and eyes attentive. The pudding is tempting (he isn't a huge chocolate lover but gosh, he hasn't tasted it in forever) but it can wait for now. First, he needs to meet his crew. Shiro is still a firm believer of teamwork, so it'll be better for everyone, he thinks, if he gets to know these new people as soon as possible.

He doesn't rush it though. Familiarizing himself with the ship is also important, so he walks through the hallways at a calm pace, taking in all the details and wondering what kind of piloting it'll require. Whenever he sees someone, he speaks up, tone and body language as friendly as it can be.]

Excuse me. Hi. I believe I'm the new pilot of the ship. [He offers his right hand and, if the person decides to take it, they'll notice it feels harder than a human hand. As if it was made of metal.] You can call me Shiro.

[Well hello rugged cute guy. Tina is a bit smitten when she finds an excuse to reply.]

Hmmm, no Galra here that I know of. Just Atroma, and we don't know what they look like.

[Despite being just across the room on the Marsiva, Fie texts him back, since he didn't ask her directly.]

Nope

[Very helpful.]

[ There's been a few new members to the crew lately and with Hank off in his own little world - sleeping, and he'll be back, Raven tells herself - it's down to her to go out of her way and make sure they're settled in. She'd done her best with Lunafreya before and now they've got a brand new pilot she's off to welcome to their quiet, happy little corner of space.

Of course, he gets to her first, and she blinks. Still, she shakes his hand, making no comment on the strength of it or it's material - she's the one walking around blue, after all. ]

Raven Darkholme. First mate.

Hey, Shiro, I'm Sokka.

And nope, I've never heard of any Galra, and I've been here for two years, now. So you should be clear on them following you.

Unless they followed you right now and they're just creeping around behind you. Then I can't help ya.

[The feed shows a girl with fox ears, carrying herself in a similarly military manner.]

I have heard of no such race, though there are many who have been here longer than I. Perhaps you could describe them?

I've never heard of the Galra, but if it comforts you - we've come across no alien race I've ever heard of. Each one has been new, which makes me believe we are definitely in a far off quadrant of some sort.

[Aliens tho]

No? What're they like?

[Don't mind him grabbing a pen and notebook for this.]
