[ M is seated at a table in one of the data libraries, her comm propped in front of her so that the video records her from chest upward. She's dressed in one of her suits, neat as a pin, and has a mug from one of the kitchens close at hand. She looks very comfortable addressing an audience she can't see. ]
As it has become apparent that our communications network is in proper working order again, and that I will in fact not be making the trip back to where I should be, I suppose an introduction is in order. I do apologize for my reclusive habits. I'm afraid I am rather of the sort that doesn't socialize.
My name is Maud Astor, and I come from London, in the early twenty-first century. I should very much like to know if there is anyone else here who might be from that general time frame.
I should also like to request further information on exactly what sort of governance exists aboard this ship.

Status reports from the both of you, please. In text or in person.

An honor to make your acquaintance, m'lady! I'm afraid I'm not quite of the time frame you seem to have in mind, unless a miss of fifty years or so is tolerable.

Though the ship does have a rough chain of command and security, I believe any complicated system of government hasn't been established.

Fifty years forward or back? I assure you that my memory spans rather more than just a half century. [ The allusion to her age is made with a hint of wry acceptance. ]
I suppose a rough chain of command is all one can expect from such a disparate group. Although there are always leaders, in personality if not in title.
