Who: Looma Red Wind and you!
Broadcast: Video
Action: Anyone aboard the Bishop, the Iskaulit later on
When: 4/23 through 4/27
[Video 4/23]
[When the broadcast starts, it's immediately obvious there's something different about the Fleet's resident alien battle princess. And not just that she's not armor-clad, and instead she's actually wearing a set of normal clothes hastily modified to fit.
Instead, it's painfully obvious as she sits in the pilot's chair aboard the Bishop, she's somehow much, much smaller. Someone's augment was on the fritz, and while it had only shaved some seven years off her, boy what a difference those years made.]
Is this working?
[Don't mind her poking the camera- she's having to re-learn a lot of things, but at least she's not anywhere near as loud. Or angry. If anything, she could pass as downright amiable. She even clasps three of her hands together with a gleeful smile as she realizes her network device is indeed working properly.]
Wonderful! Now, I do not know where I am, but someone has granted me a ship! Unfortunately it appears to be broken. I have tried to maneuver to attack that other ship over there-
[And she'll turn her device to allow everyone to see out the viewport, where she can helpfully point out the Blue Fish, drifting along quite peacefully with its crew blissfully unaware that a pint-sized warlord had been attempting- in vain- to use them for target practice for the past several minutes. Strafing runs are a bit hard to perform when you can't even get the ship to move, after all.
Of course, with the visual assistance out of the way, she's quick to turn the camera back on herself.]
-but none of the controls appear to be responding! If there is an engineer listening, I would gladly compensate you for your assistance in solving this problem!
[Not that anyone could- her augment might be glitching, but she's still Security, not a Pilot. And, thankfully, the pilot's station does not allow her to play with the weapons...]
[Action][Post-broadcast through 4/27]
[Once she's been deterred from trying to start a space battle for fun, Looma's behavior is...well, it's an improvement in that she's much less confrontational, but she's certainly an intrusive and inquisitive little thing. Without her armor (and much of her bulk), she moves around surprisingly quietly and has a funny way of poking her nose into every little thing without warning. She's even got a habit of just silently watching people as they work, or just following them around to see what they're up to.
All of this is very new to her, and at this point- especially without any recollection of her time already spent in the fleet- she's never actually seen humans before. Or Elves. Or most anyone who isn't a Tetramand, for that matter.
Which probably explains why by the end of the week she's spent most of her time excitedly running about the Iskaulit to explore every last nook and cranny she can. One destination in particular seems to have become a quick favorite of hers: she may not like all the snow in the Fox Park, but she is incredibly fond of chasing the foxes around. In good fun of course- they're soft and too small to be worth hunting, so she's mostly just interested in playing with them. A close second is the Melting Pot- she despises the protein gel aboard her ship, so naturally she's drawn to the place with actual food.]

He wants to laugh at the unbridled enthusiasm, but it's also endearing.]
I'm going to the Iskaulit right now. Come with me, and I'll show you what I learned about how to ice skate.
[In part because the ship is big enough she can't do too much damage. Right? Right.]
