[This is a woman who has not appeared on your screens, as yet, ship. But she's not new, exactly... You may have seen the red-head somewhere, around, probably in the background. But now, it seems, she is drawing attention to herself, with a small smile.]

I had hoped there had been a clerical error, on the universal scale, and I would find myself sent home--to any place I call home--when the ship next jumped, but this does not seem to have been the case.

Therefore, I suppose the only sensible thing would be to stop skulking around, and introduce myself. I'm Cordelia Vorkosigan. And if I'm to be... [she skirts around the word 'stuck'] here on-board with everyone, I ought to make myself useful. I have experience in five-space astronavigation, some areas of the natural sciences, and, well... we'll say, a good listening ear. If you need someone to talk to.

How can I help?

[wentshopping]

Yes. My particular expertise is with jumpships much smaller than this, but the principles should still apply, I believe.

General background in biology, ecology, and terraforming--enough to command a Betan Astronomical Survey Team, though I've not made a considered study of any of them.

[leaps]

The Science Department would probably like to have you. Seek out a man named Spock, if that's your thing.

Otherwise we got room down in Shuttle Bay. Not much navigation going on, but that could always change.

[wentshopping]

Science Department? Well, I'll consider it. I will be sure to contact this Spock.

So we are allowed to utilize the shuttles then?

[leaps]

I'll tell him to keep an eye out for you, when I see him.

[ but sulu is...well, sulu, so who knows when he'll stop working long enough for that. ]

Not enough fuel. We try to keep the actual use to a minimum to conserve it.

[wentshopping]

Thank you, I appreciate that very much.

[She recognizes his type, and therefore thinks it will be a nice surprise if she shows up and he has, in fact, passed on the message.]

Ah, that would be rather a problem. Still, one that can be overcome, one way or another. Much surveying would not require use of a shuttle at all, at least for the initial looks.

[leaps]

We've got some repaired, if you want to come down and take a look at them. They might not look like anything you've seen before, but once you get the hang of it, they're easy to work with.

[wentshopping]

I believe I will, thank you very much. I'm still a fast learner, even if I'm not as young as I once was.

[leaps]

No problem. We could use all the help we can get.
