1. Say, say, say, ain't it been some kinda day

[pompous_today]

Who: Simon Tam and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Anyone aboard the Marsiva
When: From yesterday until the mighty shuffle!

[A very well-dressed man is seriously studying the communicator. His hair is tousled, and his clothing- fancy as it is- looks disheveled. Like he fell asleep in his clothes or... something else.

Hmmm.

At any rate, the young man looks pretty irate, but when he speaks, his voice is perfectly friendly.]

I've been watching this network for a bit and want to make sure I am understanding things correctly. I am part of a group of people who have been abducted and will be used to entertain a television audience? [He purses his lips.] Is there anything else I should know?

That will be the way I choose to approach my life here, then... a new opportunity. I do still resent being held here, but it doesn't sound like it will be all that terrible...

No... I have been through worse. [But it is clear from her stony facial expression that she still doesn't like it much.]

In any case, welcome to the Fleet.

Thank you. I hope our stay here will not be entirely unpleasant, at least.
