[When the video turns on, it can be seen situated on a table in a corner, various tools and different parts spread out on every inch of the table. Balthier is tossing a screw driver up and down, catching it by the handle each time.]

I suppose it's time for me to make one of these things on the network, seeing as I've been here for some time already, and not many of you know my name. [He smirks.] And you should know my name, seeing as one of these days you'll be calling me "captain".

[He stops tossing the screwdriver and he puts an elbow on the table, leaning to the side.]

As you can see, I've managed to scrounge up a rather lovely array of items from this ship that it doesn't need anymore. Or, something that I know for a fact it doesn't need anymore. But I'm rather lacking in inspiration for something fun right now to make out of them. So, those of you out there, if you find yourself lacking entertainment right now, let's come up with an idea for something. Of course, I would be grateful to anyone who would bring me more parts. We can make a game out of this, or perhaps I could become a balloon animal maker with metal.

In any case, I'm rather bored. And I know for a fact that you're all rather bored, too. There's only so many disappearing doors and corridors that we can deal with before someone starts exhibiting signs of some sort of space dementia.

[He pauses.] Or maybe you're already experiencing it, and hiding it from the rest of us. We all do like our secrets on this ship, don't we?

[He reaches out to turn off the feed, and right before he does so...] The name is Balthier, by the by. For those of you unlucky enough not to know it till now.

...oh my God, yes. [ this face is a joyous face. congrats captain, you've just earned a vote. ] There's plenty of open space for it. Plus having a way to get around this place faster has to be good.

[ fun and practicality together, awesome. ]

Absolutely! A race through these corridors would be splendid, really. I'd like to give it a shot around here. Hm. Perhaps I could rig something small to start with... [Thoughtful.]

I'd go for jetpacks, personally. [ hey, go big or go home. ]

Ooh, jet packs are a good possibility! That or a hoverboard, really.

Yeah, we gotta get to work on this. Can you rec any places for me to dig up more parts? [ not that she was too keen to go wandering around again any time soon, but hey, jet packs and hoverboards. ]

There are several empty rooms around where everyone else is staying. I've been pillaging those, though if you decide to wander further, do take someone with you.

Yeah, no, not going off by myself again any time soon. [ she's impetuous but not stupid okay. ] Maybe we should institute a buddy system.

Do we need to know our buddy beforehand?

Ideally, but...I think that's a judgement call everyone will have to make for themselves.

I suppose that will have to do.
