Who: Victor Nikiforov and OPEN
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva's Hospitality Deck (common area)
When: Shortly after he wakes up and has had time to explore a bit, so sometime in the middle of the "day"

[The video shows a man wearing a black T-shirt and coat. He is smiling and seems to be happy and cheerful. He has the strap of a sports bag over his shoulder. One hand is to his face, a finger touching his lips.

Despite having just woken up in the middle of space with no idea how he got here, he seems completely at ease.]

I wish someone had told me I was going to be on television today. Honestly, I'm grateful that you took me on my way home from practice because it means I have my skates, but I would have dressed up for the occasion had I known. A nice suit perhaps? At least a decent sweater. [He hand moves down to grip the sports bag's strap.]

I could look so much better given a little bit of notice. [Then he winks, and it's not clear if that's meant for anyone who is receiving this message, the much bigger audience they're told exists, or just because he likes winking.

Then, after a moment, he gets to the true purpose of this message.]

Oh, and if anyone has seen Yuuri Katsuki please let me know. He's Japanese, about 173 centimeters in height, has black hair and brown eyes, and wears glasses. Let him know that Victor is looking for him if you see him, hm?

you can be as late as you want ;)

It would help us make a better first impression.

Re: you can be as late as you want ;)

[universal_charm]

Something tells me you don't actually have a problem with that.

[goldkiss]

Are you saying that I've made a good first impression? I'll take that as a compliment.

[universal_charm]

Heh, you're welcome.

So, Victor, care to introduce yourself for the people at home?

_{[ He makes a vague motion with his hand, as if to an audience, though there wasn't one. ]}

[goldkiss]

I would normally ask them what they wanted to know, but seeing as I don't have an Instagram account to ask for questions...

[universal_charm]

What's Instagram?

[goldkiss]

Ah, It's a...

Social media site. You share images of your life with anyone who follows you.

[universal_charm]

Oh, I think that was mentioned in the histories of the early twentieth century - the social media part.

Ah, sorry, I'm from Earth, but I'm from a future Earth to a lot of people- 2263, to be exact.

[goldkiss]

And you no longer have social media??

[universal_charm]

Well, we do, but it differs between planets and it's not quite what it was back in the twenty-first century. I don't really use it since my job comes with a lot of restrictions concerning that sort of thing.

[goldkiss]

Do you mind if I ask what your job is?

[universal_charm]

I'm captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise, which is part of Star Fleet, operating on behalf of the United Federation of Planets.

Basically a fancy way to say I run a space ship.

[goldkiss]

Oh! So this fleet isn't too strange for you?

[universal_charm]

Being on a ship and hopping through space part, no.

The being kidnapped and having a chip implanted in my head and supposedly being on a tv show with no control over where I go? Yeah, that part is strange.

[goldkiss]

I know what you mean...

But, still, the space part is rather exciting for me. How are these ships different than yours?

[universal_charm]

A lot smaller and not as well equipped for one.

Mine holds around four hundred people, and we actually have room to breathe and we have actual defense, nav, and comm systems.

Like comparing a clown car to a luxury vehicle?
