[When the video transmission starts, there’s a rather neat and tidy man in a suit, seated in one of the passenger quarters.]

I’ll give it to this place, this has to be one of the oddest awakenings I’ve had. Still doesn’t beat Nepal though…

[The last part is muttered, almost to himself, before he turned back to the camera, all business.]

Not to ask the same question twice, but I’d like to go home as much as the next person, so perhaps I’ll save on some of the legwork and reach out. How can I help make sure this ship reaches its destination in one piece? I do have military training and my information gathering skills can be useful.

[There’s a small pause, and then he smiles, a small almost innocent look.]

Also I’m rather decent at poker, if that will help us any. So, who’s recruiting?

Comforting.

[Still that's better than nothing, he supposed. He whistled slightly at the department, leaning in thoughtfully.]

I imagine that would be rather fascinating on this ship.

It's split focus between genetics and posthuman therapy (supernatural beings, magic, mutant abilities, etc), and we document ship phenomenon that impacts passengers.

[ 'Fascinating', to be sure. A lot of all over the place work, but Severus is less irritating when he's busy. ]

[embellishing]

While I might not be qualified to help with genetics or the therapy portion, I wouldn't mind offering my assistance in helping document what goes on here. Do you take volunteers or is this a strictly department only project?

[darkart]

It's open to everyone who wants to contribute. I wouldn't object if you'd like to.

[embellishing]

Fantastic. Is there a document you're managing or should I send all experiences your way?

Also, pardon my manners. I'm Eames. Who do I have the pleasure of speaking to?

[darkart]

Professor Severus Snape. And you can send everything, yes.

[embellishing]

It's a pleasure to meet you Professor. Again, I appreciate the information you've provided and I'll do my best to repay the favor.

[darkart]

Of course. If you ever want to go through what files already exist, I'm usually on level 3 of the science labs.

[embellishing]

I might take you up on that offer relatively soon. I would like to know more about my surroundings, and since this is in confidence, it seems like you have the most thorough reports.

[Flatterer, him? No.]
