THE DRIFT FLEET

Who: Flora
Broadcast: Fleetwide Audio
Action: Wonderducklings
When: Now!

[Flora comes out of her sleep feeling...actually well-rested. It feels like just yesterday and at the same time so long ago that she's slept peacefully, without plaguing dreams, and there's a little more colour to her face for it.

But all that colour drains when she first signs onto the network and sees the date.

She gets onto it so fast it's no small wonder that she didn't break anything in the process.]

T-two months?! It's been two months? [Has she lost that much time? But it was two months ago when she went to sleep last. Though her voice doesn't actually raise, it's clear she's distressed and so willfully calms herself down with a deep inhale.] I'm sure there's a rational explanation for this, and I hope it isn't time travelling. Please tell me it's not time travelling.

[Anything but that.]

What's been going on?

[Action][Flora wanders the ship a little, taking stock of her very different surroundings. Goodness, her crew has been busy since she's been away, haven't they? She ought to make everyone something special! Well, as special as she can manage with what they have...what do they even have? She should check.]

This place is certainly looking different, isn't it?

[So is she, a little. Her hair's gotten even longer in the interim, because that's actually possible.]

Who: Flora
Broadcast: Her announcement is in audio, and only to the duckies. Chris can show up too.
Action: SS Wonderduck only!
When: Few hours before the interview

All crew members, this is your captain speaking. [In case they confuse her with another girl on the shi--oh wait, but that aside, there's something calmly professional about her tone.] Please report to quarters, immediately.
