[ 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.

video; it's my jam. my lady jam (switching things up)

[firms]

[ no. no. that's -- how is that possible. ] ...Jaye?

video; but i knew that one...

[tumbleweeds]

[ And then ta-da, human again. ]

Yeah? ... I can't actually talk like that. I mean, I can mimic if I'm a parrot or something.

video; i'll find another, then! ... hmm

[firms]

... How ...

video; ... i live in a hole actually so maybe safest to just do whatever

[tumbleweeds]

Magic. It's a gift from the god I work for.

video; <3 blind praise it is!

[firms]

Right. The god.

video; <3

[tumbleweeds]

Don't worry, you'll get used to it.

video; MUAH

[firms]

Do you?

video; SWOONS

[tumbleweeds]

I roll with things. Not like I've got a lot of room to talk on the "weird" department.

video; SMOLDERS

[firms]

Weird to me is questionable personal decisions. Fly-by-night last minute vacations. Some of the food I eat. Do you like sea urchin?

video; BURSTS INTO FLAMES????

[tumbleweeds]

Never actually had it. How's it taste?

video; GRABS SOME WATER, THROWS

[firms]

The part that's not deadly tastes great. [ Stop being a show-off, Rachel. ]

video; did you grab the water with your hands

[tumbleweeds]

Yeah, see, I try not to eat food that involves trusting other people to make correctly or else I might die.

video; bucket

[firms]

Where's your sense of adventure, Jaye?

video; well that's much less exciting

[tumbleweeds]

I left it out in the middle of the ship.

video; or, i'm a water bender.

[firms]

If this is an invitation or a ploy to get me to explore with you, I won't be doing that. I saw those... things. I'm not going to wander off.

video; much cooler

[tumbleweeds]

Nah. I think exploring is off limits for me for a while, I try not to push my luck with the ship that frequently.

[ Just more frequently than most people with sense. ]

video; then I'll go with that!

[firms]

Not a bad thing to not do.

video; aw yis

[tumbleweeds]

I'm sure someone out there is proud of me for it.

video; proud of this bamf right here?

[firms]

I'm a little bit proud.

video; super proud

[tumbleweeds]

You're going to make me blush.

video; missed you, gadgets

[firms]

So, my friend Donna and I are going out tonight. Or, today. We're going to the bar here. Would you like to meet us at some point? Strength in numbers?

video; i missed you too /cuddles

[tumbleweeds]

[ Surprised blink. ] Sure, I could do that.

[ She has never actually had a girl's night out. ]

video; purrring

[firms]

You should! Even just for one drink.

video; 8D /scritches

[tumbleweeds]

Oh believe me, I can do more than one drink. I used to be a bartender, actually.

[firms]

Do tell.
