[Simon's not exactly used to filming himself, but the video is still perfectly centered when he begins. He sits down, briefly returning to that old habit of making sure that his bangs are swept perfectly to one side before he starts to speak.]

[His orange jumpsuit hangs in the background. He’s wearing the generic ship one because it's cool. ...If you're Simon, it's cool.]

I've been aboard this spaceship for two days now. So far I've heard a lot of what to do and what not to do. But can anyone tell me why I was chosen?

[Simon glances about nervously, but his eyes are glossy with excitement when he looks back.]

I'd also like to know if there are any extraterrestrials on board. Like in Star Voyage 13.

[Yeah, he has the box set of 1 through 12 too.]

I-I mean you no harm, I've just always wanted to meet one.

...Did you escape from prison or something, what's with the orange jumpsuit?

[invis]

It's for my community service.

Aliens. Beings from other planets.

[ oh, Raven's been grounded, in a way, so.. encrypted. but she didn't stick around too long to greet new people at the jump chambers, so here she is. ..blue. but not an ET, tyvm!! ]

I don't think there's much of a rhyme or reason as to why we're all here. Some people have experience with being in space and living on a spaceship, but most of us were just picked up and put here without much of a clue about it.

[Simon's staring - but to be fair, that's kind of thing he does. And if it's rude for the simple fact that it's staring, there's something awestruck about it.]

Where were you picked up from?

[And can he go there.]

[ wow, you really don't disappoint, do you. he's almost proud. ]

You might want to clean all that jizz off your screen, I'm not entirely sure they can see you. Or hear you, for that matter. Must've gotten a bit on the microphone.

[invis]

There's nothing on my screen. Or in my microphone.

[Gdit Nathan, don't ruin this for him.]

Don't bust a blood vessel.

I'm not bursting any blood vessels. And there's nothing on the screen either.

You are likely to encounter several throughout your time aboard. Despite mankind's pervasive exploration of the universe, Earth and it's population are no more significant than any other planet's.

[Simon sees those ears, but after the girl with the blue skin, he doesn't want to get his hopes up.]

Are you from New York?

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Might I inquire why you believe yourself "chosen," and that it was not random? - Also, as a side-note, ignore zero-zero-five zero-seven-eight, who is responding to you by text; he has no list.

[invis]

I've always wanted to go into space. It's been something of a dream of mine since I was a little boy.

What do you mean by extraterrestrials?

video;

[invis]

Beings from another planet. Intelligent life forms.

[gothchicklit]

What makes the aliens from Star Voyage 13 better than other ones?

video;

[invis]

They were bioluminescent. They were quite beautiful.

[And practically naked. But Simon keeps that to himself.]

Did you see any of the other ones?

[deprecate]

You've been managing all right, then.

[ not that he cares. ]

[invis]

I thought there'd be more dehydrated food.

[quantified]

Aren't we all extraterrestrials simply by existing outside of Earth?

video

[invis]

I guess so. And I'd be just as alien to them.
