[ The video feed clicks on to reveal Robert Capa — a man in his mid-thirties with shaggy hair (still damp from the tube where he awoke) and a five o'clock shadow and narrow shoulders covered by the ship's uniform he found in the locker marked with his identifying number. His eyes, bright blue, are particularly striking in that they are wholly calm, despite the latest series of events. The rest of his face is calm as well, the muscles of which never really rearrange themselves much to convey this emotion or that. When he speaks his voice is measured and even, though there is a certain start-stop to the cadence.

His words are prefaced with an inhale. It seems to steady him. ]

I guess I should start with the obvious question. We can figure out where to go from there, depending how the answers trend. [ Capa rubs his chin; the scrape of his stubble is audible. ] Is anyone here part of the ship's natural crew?

[ He pauses, letting that inquiry and whatever implications it may carry set in. There's a vague flicker of emotion, maybe worry, in the set of his mouth but it's as understated as the rest of him. ] And maybe, more importantly: can anyone recall how they got here?

I'm not disagreeing with you. I just know that high-threat situations— [ Capa pauses, tries to find the right word. ] They don't work wonders for better judgment sometimes.

But as far as I'm concerned, I'm on board. I'm used to being part of a crew.

[Slowly, she nods.]

True enough.

How much do you remember of your home and what you did? Do you think you could help lead the people here or try and organize them, since you've been part of a crew before?

Beyond the specifics of how I got from Icarus to here, I'm not experience any other memory gaps. [ There's a hesitation that follows, during which Capa rubs at his chin thoughtfully. ]

I'm no captain. And people— [ He shakes his head. They're not his strongpoint. ] —I could probably train quick-study civilians on protocol if I had to. Bring them up to speed with basic rules and precautions.

Icarus?

[She nods again, watching him closely.]

We'll need to look, then, for people who might be willing to lead. We'll need doctors, people who can cook, and anyone who can teach others how to work here. But I suppose that goes without saying.
