[ 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!

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.) ]
