[ The comms turn on and Rachel's face can be seen. She looks calm, confident and put together. Even though, on the inside, she might be anything but. ]

Hi.

[ Rachel doesn't ask for help often - or, at all. So, she's not quite sure how to go about this. ]

I have a few [ how shall she put this ] questions. I'm new and I'm used to being the one who knows everything. [ except how to be modest ] I'm a paralegal [ because she refuses to use past tense ] and I know the ins and outs of the firm I work for. The associates, other paralegals - they all came to me for help. Granted, I've worked there for five years. [ As their best paralegal ever, but the network doesn't... need to know that. There's such thing as some modesty. ] For the first time in a long time I find myself with more questions then answers.

Hopefully, that's where you come in. If you wouldn't mind taking some time to answer a few questions?

First, I haven't been that impressed with the food here. It might be that I'm eating the wrong thing. And I haven't made it down to the oxygen gardens yet. Are their any chefs on board? Or, is there anyone familiar with food? [ a smile. ] Good food?

I can't take advantage of your entire stash.

Second. Is there a way to transfer information from the datapads in the library onto my phone? I've been doing a lot of reading but I've been stuck in the library. There's nothing wrong with it, it's actually quite remarkable but... I'd like the option of reading somewhere else. Maybe the common room or my room.

Third. Things... happened a few days ago. Is there anything I shouldn't be doing? I got the basic rundown from several people my first week here. You can never be too safe, right?

Four. And it's less of a question and more of an apology... For those of you who know Mike Ross, I'm sorry. He's - well, you get used to him. So, if he's done anything to you or said anything to you [ or generally been himself at all ] just, please accept this blanket apology.

[ because she may have spent some time looking up conversations between Mike and people and wow, Mike, you fail at being a human being but why would that be different then in space? and maybe this is sort of flirty and needly - she may not be divulging voice mail details but she's only human. mike ross pushes her buttons. so she's pushing his ]

Okay. I think that's it. Oh, my name is Rachel, for those who haven't met me.

What is there to do around here? [ she stops before saying fun because what is fun to Rachel but trying new foods and traveling when she can? oh, and leading men on. ]

How is it that I've been here a week, we live on the same crazy space ship, and we haven't seen each other? I'm thinking drinks. I hear there's a bar.

You make it sound like I'm some sort of douchebag.

[ mike. really. ]

[firms]

I make it sound like you should come with a warning label.

[ which, you kind of should. but, guess what. she should, too, but this is her post, not his. ]

[fraud]

Which is even worse, actually.

[growling]

I wonder why she would ever imply such a thing.

Oh my god, shut up.

Transferring information is easy.

[not that he's...gone anywhere near the library yet. nor does he have any plans to.]

[firms]

Great. Care to share just how easy it is?

[ how incredibly helpful, Anakin ]

[executiveassistant]

Rachel what a pleasant surprise.

[A smile; yeah she knew you were here.]

I was busy, sorry to say. When we go get drinks, I'll tell you all about it. Girls' indeterminable-time-of-day out. I've been sorely missing it.

[firms]

Like you're ever surprised.

Also, could we talk about me borrowing something of yours? The locker stalker seems to think I should wear staplers with my underwear. And while there's a time and a place for the sexy assistant game...

[jurisimpudent]

[He clears his throat.]

First - and you need not comment upon this - I do not think an apology is necessary. He is an adult, after all.

[voice]

[firms]

[ it's cute that you think telling her that she doesn't have to comment upon that will stop her. but, she'll humor him. for now. ]

And, second?

video; not even piggybacking that lock because she's lazy and bad at technology

[tumbleweeds]

I still say space prostitute and drinking, but that's just me.

video; not that it's even worth it to piggy back! she hasn't been taught encryption yet

[firms]

I'll entertain the drinking idea. Prostitution is out. My best lingerie is back in New York.

[enforced]

Do you know how to defend yourself? If not, I recommend staying within the known perimeter.

[firms]

I was planning on staying within. But, I can take care of myself. [ maybe not with manticores and blackholes but she's not acknowledging those things exist ]

[suitability]

Has anyone answered your second question yet?

[mainly because james is wondering the same thing]

video;

[firms]

They've confirmed they can. I've yet to get an answer. But, it's easy. Apparently.

I'll let you know when I find out?...

[intersection]

Pretty sure making sure there's chefs on board isn't much of a priority when you're up in space.

video

[firms]

I'm not making sure there are chefs as much as checking if anyone ... [ she did this once. and she pissed edgeworth off. ] I like food. I'm a foodie. There I said it. So, sometimes, I'm in the mood for... better food.

[nothlit]

[it's stupid to want to talk to her just because her name is Rachel, and Tobias knows that. maybe he's missing the others more than he wants to admit, but he's been up here for over a week now and nothing has changed. he's hungry and lonely and it's the only familiar thing he's heard since his arrival.]

The Oxygen Gardens are nice.

voice;

[firms]

[ if she knew any of this, she'd feel bad and she'd offer any help she could. but she's not telepathic. so, a conversation will have to suffice. ]

Yeah? Peaceful?

[glom]

Have you met Hana yet?

[firms]

No, I haven't.

[prodigalbrat]

Trust me, the food here sucks.

[firms]

I've heard multiple takes on the food and those who prepare the food. But, that does seem to be the consensus.
