[WHOS THIS DOUCHEB no who is this charming gentleman

Wily's well-groomed and wearing his best three piece grey suit THANK GOD that came with him in his locker yes. He's smiling serenely at the camera]

Well, well, well. Hello there! It's probably about time I did the whole introducing myself formally 'round these parts, isn't it?

Doctor Albert Wily, at your service. [jaunty bow]

Right, so, I've already gathered that we're in space on some sort of hyperadvanced non-euclidian space ship headed for god-knows-where with a bunch of people pulled from various alternate universes. No need to explain that part. I've also already gathered the whole "No, you can't go home" though I've heard some vague thing about how if this boat gets where it's going we'll be allowed to go home.

Forgive me if I'm a bit skeptical about that part. And even if it's true, I'm hardly patient, and I imagine most of you aren't either. So... I suppose my first question is, have any of you made a concerted effort to start figuring out how this bucket of bolts works, and if so, how might an enterprising engineer like myself go about doing the same?

Right, second question is who is in charge of this boat? I keep hearing about captain and crew and so on, but I've yet to see them posting around. Granted, you're all a chatty bunch, and it's hard to keep up with Wonder if I could program a simple content aggregator to filter relevant posts... hmm so I may have missed it.

Anyway.

Third question: what sort of music do you listen to, and can any of you play insturments or sing? Very important. It's far too quiet 'round these parts.

Thank you, and have a wonderful day.

[ oh, no, you did not just call the Tranquility that. Have a mildly put-out pilot frowning at the video feed. ]

The Tranquility's a lot of things but she isn't a 'bucket of bolts'. The chief engineer's also the XO - Resnik's been running the ship pretty well considerin' she's not had a proper crew to look after her for a while now. [ He doesn't sound defensive or irritated, just a little flat. The mildest of the mild. ] You're an engineer, you say?

It it doesn't rock, it isn't worth listening to.

I know an enterprising engineer! I don't know so much about the like yourself. Should I hook you two up or something?

[ The second the video flicks on, France waves a hand at the screen as if to express his disinterest. ]

I do not care about this ship or how it works. It is absurd enough we are aboard it: I do not wish to explain to absurdities of existence, merely to accept them.

But aaa, the music? Of course, of course, I know how to play a few different things, though I suppose I am best with the piano. I can play most things, though I prefer to play Debussy over anything else.
