Who: Signy Mallory and Open
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Wonderduck
When: Just after shuffle

[ Signy has paid the confetti and pudding no mind at all, and if the transportation was jarring, she’s still relieved to be somewhere else, with people around. With a view she can take in and maybe start to do something with. Her posture is pure military commander, and if she’s wearing rather and repaired clothes, there’s a Captain’s patch on her jacket. She looks mid thirties, other than her eyes and the silver-gray of her hair. She should really do something about that, since Norway isn’t part of Earth Company any longer. Then again, she’s not part of Norway at the moment.]

This is Signy Mallory. Formerly Captain of the Norway in the Merchanter’s Alliance. If there’s anyone here from Union or Mazian’s fleet, I’m sure we can find a way to get along.

[ It hurts to say ‘former’ more than she expected. Damn her pride, and, too, her worry for her crew. Di can handle it, of course, but until she believes why she’s been taken, there could easily be some greater threat that her abduction is a part of. ]

I have to say, from what I’ve seen of this fleet so far…I’m still waiting to be impressed.

I’m given to understand that the Atroma are controlling us. What resistance attempts have been made to date?

What other active threats are there?

Action

[survivalistcookbook]

[The welcoming fanfare's fairly audible from the kitchen, where Eugene has been working on a batch of bread and, conveniently enough, just put the loaves up for their first proofing. He shrugs off his apron, gives his hands a quick rinse, and is still drying them off with a towel when he swings by the deck to greet the newcomer, coveralls flour-speckled and unruly hair held back with a bandana.]

Hey, welcome aboard. [A quick wave, then he's on his way over to grab a pudding, curved metal foot of his prosthetic clumping conspicuously against the flooring. He'd feel more ashamed about going right for the snacks, but hey, kneading bread is hungry work.]

[norwaysown]

I didn't have much of a choice.

[ Signy studies him, but it's impossible to get much of an assessment in this place, where she doesn't know of any of the standards.

Still, he wouldn't meet the Norway's as is. ]

Have you been in this place long?

[survivalistcookbook]

I've been in the fleet on and off for . . . huh. Almost two years. The Wonderduck's been the last eight months of that.

[He tosses his towel over his shoulder and offers his hand.]

Eugene Woods, ship's cook.

[norwaysown]

I'm the pilot, I suppose.

[ She'll take the hand and shake it. Her grip is firm and the handshake is brisk. ]

What ship were you on before?

[survivalistcookbook]

The Vanquish. Not that any of the ships in the fleet are that different from one another.

[norwaysown]

[ At least Vanquish is a much less silly name than Wonderduck. ]

Surely they differ based on their Captain's style?
