[ irene's not sitting in her room, she's sitting in someone else's. namely, the room that once belonged to her version of sherlock holmes. on her index finger are three gold rings that she fidgets idly with while she speaks. ]

I see our very own cautionary tale has graced us with an echo. For those newly arrived, I'd say pay attention to that, and note what happens if you don't get yourself into a pod before the jump time. It leaves in quite a mess, or so I'm told.

[ there's a clink of rings as she shakes them off, letting them fall onto the side table, edging them lightly into place with her fingertips. ]

Now, having that settled, I suppose I'd ask an introduction on the part of those newly arrived. All those newly arrived. In all the chaos of your arrival, it's only polite that we all introduce ourselves. We are to be living in rather close quarters for the foreseeable future, are we not?

No droids? Stars, I couldn't imagine a time without them. Though, it's fair to say that my own world is far ahead of most of the people I've met here so far with regards to technology.

But I somehow doubt your world is mine's past.

[jilt]

No, perhaps not. It seems like not everyone's worlds align so neatly.

[ridesthesun]

No, I thought not. Are you from...Earth?

[jilt]

Yes, from Earth. Though that doesn't necessarily align me so neatly with everyone else either.

[ridesthesun]

So I've come to understand.

Still, it was nice talking to you, Irene but I believe I should try and become a bit more acquainted with the ship. I hope to hear from you again in the future.

[jilt]

Likewise, my dear. I'll keep an eye out for you.
