[ since arriving on the ship, roger's noticed a couple of things: constant surveillance, distinctly uncomfortable architecture… oh, and nikolaj coster-waldau dying in an unfortunate door accident.
sounds just like home!
goodmorning evening indeterminate-time-of-day, tranquility. have a video transmission of a british dude with a very calm voice and a very intense stare. ]
It's always seemed rather interesting to me, the way ships are given names that, while well-intentioned, end up... ironic—in my experience, at least. The Phaeton was a rather ill-advised name for a ship that could literally go down in flames, and the good ship Tranquility seems to be—well. Quite the opposite, of late.
Digression aside, my name is Dr. Roger Fallon, and I'd like to extend an offer of assistance to whomever may currently be on the medical staff here. I'm a trained psychiatrist, and—quite frankly, if the past few days are generally considered normal for this ship, I may be of some use to you... if only as another pair of hands. [ that... should have sounded kind of dickish, and possibly might, but it's meant as a comment on the recent shenaniganry rather than a slam on the way the people in charge handled it.
(it helps that roger is a master of the self-deprecating half-smile, even if it never quite reaches his eyes.) ]

a slightly flummoxed beat. ]
No. There was a slight chance it might have, but no.
[ good priorities there, wes. ]
VOYCE
Be thankful it wasn't named Helios. The name Phaeton, at least, has its roots in the British Royal Navy.
The Tranquility, on the other hand— [ well. ] Less ironic. More a... bad joke.

your smile doesn't reach your eyes. if you're going to be self-deprecating and give us that sort of a smile you could at least try to make it reach.
there's other parts, but that one might amuse me the most. are you already patting yourself on the back for doing such a good job telling us of your occupation?

No. Was criticizing it, though.

He tried but just didn't succeed. Thoughts?
TW

No, effort is hardly worth rewarding when the outcome is poor.
SH
text forever; (who really wants to be a sitar player when you can be her)
Outcome isn't determined yet, technically. Someone might fall for it. But then again rewards only come to those who earn them. Don't they?
TW

Rewards come to those who are quick enough to steal them.
SH

You forget that out of the two of us, I'm more of the criminal. Unless you've been stealing while I haven't been watching.
TW
text forever; (...how could you, i just wanted to love you :( )
No, I don't forget anything worth remembering. And you, my dear Irene, will always be worth my remembering.
SH
text forever; (but love is a weakness :( never ends well for everyone)
Of course I am. After all, I did tell you that I wanted you to remember me. It's almost rather gratifying to have you admit out loud that you listened. And obeyed.

Cambridge, actually—along with some more practical experience on the crew of a ship called the Phaeton.

A psychiatrist? Well, Doctor Fallon, given how some appear to be handling their arrival here, your help certainly wouldn't be left unnoticed.

I think I would need a psychiatrist. I'm afraid our previous one has been less than professional. He let out some sort of fear gas into the vent system, and at least half the ship has been affected, including me. He's the one who's had the most, though. [Wry smile.]
