[Viewers are greeted by a charmingly dashing white smile, easy and confident without being cocky, shining blue eyes and the face of a 1950's matinee idol. He's dressed in his customary outfit of braces and greatcoat, his very presence commanding your attention]
Hey there, kids. So it's come to my attention that there are some of us a little more used to this whole traveling in space thing, am I right? I mean. There are some of us on here who have literally never even heard of the idea, which. Is charming, really it is. But that means that this whole Tranquility thing has gotta be more than a bit of a shock. So here's where I'm going to be taking a poll.
How many of you are familiar with travel in space? How many of you have heard of it, but never dreamed you'd do it yourself? How many of haven't even dreamed of traveling the stars?
I figure if we cover that much at least, we'll be able to determine how many of us need a bit more explanation than the fact that we seem to be on some sort of large passenger vessel traveling through some undetermined part of some unknown galaxy. Vague, I know, but I haven't exactly found a viewing screen yet, have you? That's where the rest of us come in. Maybe, with your help, we can figure this all out.
[He goes to reach forward to turn off the video feed, before a thought comes to him and he stops, a more mysterious look in his eyes as he does] I don't suppose that any of you are familiar with time travel...?

[...ohshit he said that out loud. UH. ACT NATURAL?]
Soooooo uhhhhhhh.... is there a thing you do, here on the ship?
no subject
Well... Not specifically. Not yet. Thinking of joining the security team, though, to have something to do other than just chatting.
no subject
How do you get a job here? Do you submit your qualifications to, uh, some organizational body, and get assigned from there?
no subject
And that's about the long and short of it, from what I've heard. Obviously they can't ask for references, so you're probably going to want to make a good impression with what you do have. Eridan could possibly tell you more, since he's been through the process already.
no subject
[Oh Gog, yeah Eridan would probably go on and on and on about how he succeeded at getting a job, but it would probably make his roommate happy, so that's...good. Maybe he'd save it for a time when Eridan looked like he needed cheering up.]
no subject
Captain Jack Harkness, by the way. And you are?
no subject
Oh! A-a-are you the captain here? Uh, Tavros Nitram, sir! Thank you for making me part of the crew, sir, it is a real honor, sir!

I guess that makes sense, since if you were captain, you would have had a lot to do, and you said you didn't! But maybe you were teasing, sometimes that is a hard thing to tell.
Um. What were you captain of?
