[All things considered, Nyreen thinks she is settling in well, as much as things are still strange and she's running out of things to do on her own to keep herself sharp, focused without going crazy for having nothing to focus on. Official expectations here seem to be about zero and those of the other passengers are... varied, to say the least.]

I have three questions. You don't have to be able to answer them all to respond, any sort of conversation will do.

1. How familiar are you all with aliens - that is, sentient organic races from a star system that wasn't your own? There are a lot of humans here, so it makes one curious. We are on a spaceship, after all.

2. Does anyone here spar? If there's any sort of organized club for physical training, I haven't heard of it, but I'd be interested if anyone wants someone to practice hand-to-hand combat with.

3. How exactly does one go about joining the Security team here? I'm interested in helping out, willing to go through an application process if necessary.

I cannot say anything for the first or the last, but if you'd care to spar I would be interested.

Because now I've learned I should ask - do you spar with any sort of magic, or is it purely physical?

Purely physical. I've no skill in magic, nor any true desire to learn. I work with my hands or with my blades as needed.

A bit more on par with what I'm used to then. I prefer to work with my hands, as well, although a boot knife will never go amiss.

One can never go wrong with at least two knives on their person, though I normally rather to go about with six. I feel naked otherwise.

Six. I suppose I must be severely under-armed with only my boot knife.

[Granted she also has guns and grenades and the ability to move stuff (and enemies) with her mind if she concentrates, so she's probably fine.]

It comes down to personal preference. Some are satisfied with one, as I rely upon them more than most I like to have more options available.
