Testing, testing, one two three...

[she waves at the communication device and grins] So what the heck happened? Did all the journals get turned into little robot journals? It's really trendy and tech-forward, but I think I'm using mine wrong. I can't go back and see all the old entries. Who knows their way around these kind of things? I've got the basics down, but I'd appreciate the help.

Also! [the real thing that she wanted to ask, since it was kind of weirding her out... She's trying to keep a lid on her nerves, but an astute viewer might notice that she looks a touch nervous] I think I'm the only one on this ship? [little does she know that she has one other passenger wandering around the hospitality deck, but she hasn't run into her yet]

I guess that's not the worst thing in the world. We're all the captain of our own spaceships? [heh, Captain Maya... she should find a hat :3] And then maybe we all have to work together to explore that crazy looking planet down below. Alright, well I'm ready for adventure! Come on, space team, let's go! Exploration awaits!

[this has been a 101 of being really cheerful to will away any nervousness and uncertainty that you have. you're welcome, world]

Nah, but I'm kind of an old hat at crazy stuff at this point.

[she lowers her voice, like she's telling a SUPER COOL SECRET] Before this, I was at a crazy magical castle!

[ BECAUSE IT IS MAYA. IT IS. ]

A magic castle?!

Yep! One hundred percent real magic! You could wish for all sorts of things, there were people with super powers wandering around, and once a month crazy things would happen.

[.... heh, what a world] It was kinda cool.

[ It sounds kind of like Harry Potter. If that sort of thing existed in his world as A Thing anyway. ]

You really lived in a wish-granting castle?! That's so cool...

Right? Hehe... [his attitude is utterly infectious]

It could be tough at time, but I got to meet all kinds of people and see lots of crazy stuff. And who knows, I bet this spaceship will be like that too!

Well there's definitely a lot of crazy stuff... Like, I think this is supposed to be reality TV!

Yeah, someone else mentioned that. Have you seen any cameras yet? Or pushy TV crew members?

No crew members...but I think the cameras are in the ceiling! Like surveillance and stuff. They gave us cool cellphones too. You can talk to people with them and stuff, just like back home.

Oooh, so maybe they're getting footage from this? Sneaky! They really know their stuff.

I guess if we have to be on a crazy show, it's cool that we're on the most popular one on the galaxy... They must have a huge budget.

Ohhh...I bet you're right! Wow! I wonder how rich you have to be to have your own spaceship.... Like a kajillionaire or something!

Definitely! If not a bajillionaire... Although I don't know which is more, kajilli or bajilli....>

Hmmm... Maybe kajillion? Because bajillion sounds like billions! And 'B' comes before 'K' when you go through the alphabet....

[ Serious discussions. SPACE TV'S GOT THEM. ]

But if a million is less than a billion, and B comes before M in the alphabet, and K falls in the middle, I think it means we're looking at it backwards! The earlier in the alphabet it is, the more it's worth!

Oh, yeah... [ Math has never been his strong suit here, he actually needs to write out a million and billion out on his hand to count all the zeroes. ]

But it goes million, billion! Not million-kajillion-billion...

Do you know how much is in a kajillion? [she doesn't, DON'T GIVE IN TO HER BLUFF...] Science seems to dictate that it's in that order.

[ BUT... ]

To be honest I'm not actually that great with math or science...

That's okay, Big Sis Maya is here to help! For now, we'll jut assume that a bajillion is more than kajillion.

Roger! So do you think they have kajillions or bajillions?

[ahaha, a dumb paaaaaaaaaaause as if she's mulling over the most important question in the history of ever]

Both. I bet Kajillions for the little spaceships, and bajillions for the giant ship that I'm on right now.
