[ the feed clicks on and darcy's drumming one hand on the table in front of her, a little annoyed. alright, a lot annoyed. ]

So, the Tranquility.

I like to think I'm a pretty go-with-the-flow kinda girl, but after arriving in a tube of blue goo, immediately having my best friend and guide kidnapped, and then faced with ship mutiny and general chaos, I just have one question.

[ the hand stops drumming and she looks directly into the feed, lowering her glasses a little bit. ]

Who the fuck named this ship?

[ she's about to turn off the feed, when she pauses. ]

Also, just for future reference, is it always this definitely-not-tranquil?

[(ooc: hey guys, coming off of a hiatus I didn't really call or even know was happening, but yay, I'm here now! ]

[ she can't help but laugh faintly at the statement. knowing it is even something she has wondered about - just never asked. ]

Ironic isn't it? [ a shrug of a shoulder then, and she is arching her brow in curiosity. ]

You're friends with Jane I take it? [ making the jump to who she was referring to with that. ] I hear she is okay now.

[unwaveringloyalty]

Names have little relevance.

[anomaliiiiies]

I'm wondering too.

[sweetmotherofgod]

Nope. Sometimes it's soul-crushingly boring instead. Hooray for variety, I guess.

[notmydiagnosis]

It can be viewed as rather ironic, yes.

[ There's a half-smile in your direction, though, Darcy. That's got to count for something. ]

[onteamdyson]

YES! Thank you. They should have named it DANGERSHIP before they sent it out into space to ruin all these lives and be lame as balls.

[ welp. welcome to the ship, darcy. ]

Perhaps it is more tongue-in-cheek. [ a short pause, as if he's thinking ] It is not always this... busy.

[hummerdoc]

Perhaps it was meant for another purpose, and whatever caused the original crew-members to disappear changed the nature of the ship?

[totallyknowscpr]

Makes you wonder whether the name was already ironic, or a hope that just failed spectacularly.

And yeah, friends from back home. I'm just glad it's over with. For now, I guess.

[totallyknowscpr]

Until they're adjectives. If they'd named it the Kevin or the Puddle or something, then sure, it's not relevant. But a descriptor? That's a hope.

[totallyknowscpr]

I wonder if whoever named it is disappointed, or laughing at the gigantic joke they've just pulled.

[totallyknowscpr]

I guess The Boredom doesn't have quite the same ring to it. But good to know it's not always chaos and insanity. I'd kinda wonder how the ship survived if it was.

[totallyknowscpr]

It makes you wonder if irony was the original intent, or if whoever named the ship is weeping in a corner somewhere in disappointment.

[ have a smirk back. ]

[totallyknowscpr]

Oh man, DANGERSHIP would've been a badass name.

[ she tilts her head a bit, ]

So even with all this chaos and danger, it's still pretty lame? Lame.

[totallyknowscpr]

So I just got here at a bad time? Or the right time? Or whatever. What normally goes down?

[totallyknowscpr]

So is that's what's up here? We're replacing the original crew?

[ video ]

[cheerioless]

Whoever named it is probably, laughing their ass off somewhere.

[totallyknowscpr]

Or crying in a corner that their attempt failed so badly.

[hummerdoc]

I would think, considering that we have numbers and uniforms, and that the original crew is missing. Simplest explanation, taking into account the method of arrival, and the variety of people.

[totallyknowscpr]

Do we have any information about what might've happened before we all started showing up here? So if it ever happens again we at least have some idea what might happen to us?

[onteamdyson]

I know, right?

[Kenzi just grins. This chick is pretty cool.]

So. Totally. Lame. They could have at least brought my game system so I could be saving the world from robot hookers.

... It has a two player option.

[unwaveringloyalty]

It means little regarding what is on the ship.

[totallyknowscpr]

But I mean, they had to pick this specific name for some reason. They didn't just pull it out of a hat.

[totallyknowscpr]

[ have a grin back; she's definitely feeling better about being here with company like this. ]

Probably more accurate too, from what I've seen.

Man, you can't just tell me these things if they aren't actually here, that would've been awesome. [ a small pout, ] But there's no video games at all?

[onteamdyson]

Nooooooooot that I've seen. YET! Working on it. I need a super-smart, brainy, hacker person to put all my amazing ideas out into the world. Like little, electronic children... that ... entertain-- okay, that was weird, HI! I'm Kenzi.

[Awkward smiling and a wave will surely cover up the fact that she sounds like a crazed lunatic. Yes! Best plan.]
