[He speaks with an English accent, corrupted by his native language and years of contact with all kinds of pronunciations from around the world - be it his or someone else's. Still, his fluency makes all those little alterations perfectly forgivable.]

I'll begin this message by letting you all know that waking up in these facilities made a week of decontamination feel like a well-deserved vacation. [For those unfamiliar with those procedures (the vast majority, he assumes):] They aren't. They're quite unpleasant, in fact. But also necessary.

Which begs the question: is all of this necessary as well? And I don't mean the healthy dose of tube - whatever that was, exactly - just the fact that we're somehow here. [Hm.] Highly doubt it. I'd at least have some memory of asking to be whisked away to a haunted space cruise.

[Pause. He doesn't sound like he's being serious, but that's up to you to decide. And he really enjoys the sound of his own voice, so whether this Space Ship Party MC's around to see it is actually rather irrelevant.]

Honestly, I'm just wondering when someone's going to show up and tell me this was an extraordinarily detailed prank. [... Well.] Hoping would be the right word, actually.

[And there you have it. But wait!]

So - who wants to tell me what we're going to do about that dragon?

[golemized]

There is a dragon aboard the ship?

[bonus]

Among other things, I'm sure!

[Like... giant talking hunks of rock.]

[golemized]

[ So dry. ] Obviously.

voice;

[abrahamic]

A dragon? [ wait, that wasn't what he was going to say— ] So you've been to space before?

[bonus]

Yes indeed! Haven't you?

[abrahamic]

Dude no, I haven't even seen a space ship up close. So the tank thing, that's actually something people should do?

voice;

[justamobster]

Dragon, huh?

[ Act casual, Ceto. No reason to go off the track. No one knows it's you. ]

[bonus]

[Noooot a clue.]

You wouldn't happen to know if anyone misplaced it.

[justamobster]

They ain't really a thing where I come from. Other'n in stories. You sure it belongs t'someone?

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[...A dragon?]

Precisely why must something be "done" about said dragon?

[bonus]

[Wait no more, for Moniz is about to read a bunch of things off a mental list.]

Make sure it's safe, for one, and that it won't pose a threat to other passengers, including the animals. [THEY ARE PEOPLE TOO no they're not but it'd be nice to keep them alive] Make sure it's been properly decontaminated, seeing as those pods don't exactly look like they've been tailored to non-humanoid species, and see if there's anything we can do to accommodate it. It wasn't exactly small, even for a dragons, and the gardens are quite nice, but we'd be wrong to assume they're an adequate habitat without further information.

And the food! Food is important. [Beat. With a bit of a laugh in his voice,] Let's hope we're not it, right?

Do feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

[fourseasons]

I apologize, but I am fairly certain this is nothing close to a prank. If it has been going on for eleven months already...

[Well. But more importantly, the reason why he actually commented:] There is a dragon on board? Are you certain it is not disorientation from the, ah... jump, was it called?

[bonus]

I did say it'd be an extraordinarily elaborate prank, [would] But eleven months would be pushing it, I'm afraid.

And the disorientation was responsible for a number of inconveniences, but I doubt hallucination were one of them.

[testgasm]

Oh for the love of--

Put it in the same place as the flippin' dinosaur, maybe they'll kill each other, problem solved.

[bonus]

Not an animal lover?

[dirtyword]

We've been told it's necessary. The question is if it is or isn't.

[bonus]

Right you are. The question also is what we can do about it.

[stimulations]

I'm afraid it hardly matters if 'all of this' is necessary or not. We don't have the option to change it.

Are you sure you didn't mistake the dinosaur? I believe we've had that happen already.

[bonus]

Ah, but there lies the issue - if we do acquire the option to change it, exactly how undesirable would the consequences be?

[THINK ABOUT IT AND REPORT BACK TO ME ON OUR NEXT CLASS.]

Haven't had the chance to take a look at the resident dinosaur, so we'll just have to find out!

[voice]

[doggedly]

Very tiny dragon, was it? The sort that only appear after... drinking, perhaps? Or d'you mean you actually have seen a dragon, 'cos he'll be in trouble when the next Jump comes around and he explodes, someone might want to tell him.

[bonus]

Not unless there was something in those tubes I should know about, no. So I suppose that means trouble.

voice;

[besiege]

You have to be joking. There's a bloody dragon, now?

[ Is hers a familiar voice? It might be a familiar voice. ]

Re: voice;

[bonus]

[He'll get there.]

Right you are, madam, despite attempts to believe the contrary!

About there being a dragon, that is. Not me joking.

voice;

[sharp]

[ hearing an english accent always brings a little familiarity for amy, especially when it sounds like they might know a thing or two about space travel. ]

Decontamination? Where exactly where you before? [ a beat. ] Oh, and I'm pretty sure the tubes are actually necessary. Not sure about the rest, to be honest. I've been told we're headed to somewhere that can help us get home, but I'm doubting that. A lot.

[bonus]

Here and there and back again. [He'll be happy to tell her about it if there's insistence, but he just leaves that up there for now. After a beat,] Might I ask who told you that?
