Who: Everyone!
Broadcast: Yes! Video!
Action: She can be found in various public places if you so choose!
When: today!

[ Kara has decided that she needs to meet more people again. The last few months have been... strange, and she's tired of feeling sad about the memories she recently received, so: posing a question to the masses it is! The video starts with her waving cheerily. ]

Hello! My name is Kara, if we haven't met. I'm on the Tourist and it's been awhile since I sent a fleetwide video and so I thought, heck, why not do one today?

If you feel like sharing, who is someone you'd want to show up here? Now, assume they could show up here but not be weighed down with the whole "not being able to leave and therefore being miserable" baggage. I guess, who do you miss? Anyone who might think this is a great big adventure?

I'll start. I'd want Winn to come back, obviously, but beyond that, I think my sister Alex would be a tremendous asset to the fleet, plus I just miss her a lot. I also recently remembered my friend Lena, who would be very interested in the whole situation. I think she'd be a great fit—she's one of the smartest people I know—and it'd be great to see her again.

Okay! Your turn.

Back home, a number of my subordinates and former coworkers were people who were very lost in life. They all come from rough upbringings. They not only worked hard in their roles, but they worked hard to find something worth it to keep them going in life. To know if they ever discover what makes them feel pleased with themselves, their strength, their lives, that's what I would like to see.

That's really beautiful.

What kind of work do you do?

[He grins, glad he made it sound like something good, at least.]

Unfortunately nothing as good as I made that sound. Those kind of things that happen to many who come from rough upbringings, you know? In a nutshell what I do consists of a lot of destruction.

Hopefully for pre-approved sites...?

[ she wants to believe ]

[He chuckles at her response.]

It's more of the assassination variety, but we can pretend it's for sites if that helps you sleep at night.

...Oh.

I mean, I sleep well. But that's still not... something that I would generally approve of.
