Who: Abel Nightroad and open to everyone
Broadcast: Accidental video, fleetwide
Action: Here, there, and everywhere, wandering around, Marsiva. Someone please help him.
When: Backdated to yesterday March 1st (Friday) before he gets transferred to SS Caprine the next day, and the ship is under attack.

[Good afternoon, Fleet. There's a tall, silver-haired, bespectacled gentleman wearing what seems like a priest garb of his fashion, wandering around the ship's halls. He was a bit of a mess, his hair tangled, and very groggy because he just woke up and had slept for a very long time.

Smiling into the camera.]

Um...right hello? Hello? Hellooooo? Is this thing on and working? So, I just woke up from a very long nap. I think I'm dreaming, but...am I really in outer space? I just take a look out the windows and all I see are stars, lots of them. I wonder how I end up here...

My name is Father Abel Nightroad. It's nice to meet you.

I hope everything is for free here, I ran out of money. I thank you for the free desserts and hospitality. Can I help myself to the food here? I would like lunch...I'm very hungry. I didn't have breakfast today. Your help is appreciated, I think I'm lost.

[The feed offered to him is one of a very kind-eyed man in his mid-30s, smiling amicably. When he speaks, his voice is calm to spite the situation, a deep baritone and is both welcoming and comforting.]

Hello, Father. I'm Aaron. It's nice to meet you. We are in outer space, and it's...crazy, I know. If you're on the Marsiva, then yes, you can take the food that's offered. It's better than starving, and you'll earn more money. If you have any other questions, let me know. I'd be happy to help.

[Yup, things are quite turbulent on Marsiva for today. The ship is shaking at times due to the attacks. Abel firmly holds his communicator to speak into it.]

Hello, Aaron. It's nice to meet you too. I thank you kindly as I had figured out the rest of the staff on the ship and I found my lunch already. It just that everyone looked so busy and in a hurry.

I just arrived here actually. Are things usually this chaotic? Is there any chance things will get peaceful around here eventually and calm down?

[customplates]

I've never seen this happen before, if I'm honest. Stay safe, Abel. I'm sorry you're trapped in this crossfire.

[nightroadsaint]

I see...fancy that! I'm in outer space on a ship. That's a weird thing to wake up to. I never knew interstellar space can advance this far.

I hope things get calmer around here. One of the staff says the captain will try to get things under control.

[customplates]

Well, for everyone there's sake, I hope he's successful.

[He does chuckle slightly, though, nodding.]

Yeah, it's...something. I never thought I'd be in outer space, either. It's...not exactly something people would call easy in my world. [Even before the fall.]

[nightroadsaint]

[With a sigh, accepting the fact that he could be millions upon millions of lightyears away from his version of Earth. Or even in another dimension since there are are many people who mentioned coming in from different worlds.]

Anyway, I hope you don't mind me asking, but you mentioned about earning money. What do people need money for? And how does one earn money around here? It's not a foreign concept for me since I received a stipend from the Vatican. But I would think that by being kidnapped by some invisible aliens, I would think and wondered why they would invent money out of necessity for the rest of us.

And what's your world is like? Is it anything like Earth?

[customplates]

[Aaron's expression turns sympathetic even before he begins to speak.]

Well, we're part of a fleet that's moving through the galaxy. We visit a lot of different worlds, and we need the money to...buy things there. As for earning it...they kidnapped us for an intergalactic television show. They pay us for...being on it, I guess.

[He smiles.] It is Earth.

[After the apocalypse, but that counts, right?]

[nightroadsaint]

I see... I guess they preferred Earth humans for their show.

Well, I guess that makes sense. That's the most easiest way to make money I ever heard of.

[For a priest, he seems to be very accepting of it as a fact!]

From what I have seen so far, everyone is well-taken care of, so I guess there's nothing to worry about. I guess they're mostly harmless...?

Though Earth...I'm going to miss it. I hope they provide something comfortable like Earth if they want us to make it worth their while.
