[DUN DUN DUUUUUN! A masked vigilante appears on the screen. She has some very blonde hair and-- are those bat ears? She's also talking a mile a minute.]

Okay, so.... okay. We're obviously on a ship. In... space? With assigned numbers and communication devices. This would be a lot cooler if I knew the why and the how and the potential dangers. Mostly the why. Anybody get a 'why' yet? Not expecting something for nothing here, so...

Hey! I'm Batgirl. Would anyone mind giving me a tour?

[ Oxford makes no effort to conceal his light laughter, though it's not at all malicious or meant unkindly. ]

Only with curiosity, as I think I might be of more assistance to you in general. [ A thoughtful pause. ] You'll likely be disappointed in the answer to why, I'm afraid - so far there doesn't seem to be one, though I'm sure you're welcome to contribute a theory.

Assistance is good. I kind of need some right about now, if it wasn't already completely obvious.

I'll get back to you on the theory business after I've got more info. Speaking of, a name would be really helpful. [Friendly introductions all around!]

[romanticism]

It is a little, but I can hardly blame you. We all need a little helping hand at times like these.

Oxford. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, ah... [ with faint amusement: ] Batgirl. I assume you won't be giving out another name.

[pertinacious]

Not if I can help it, no. Nice to sort of meet you, Oxford.

[Like the dictionary! Easy to remember.] I'm hoping there isn't much use for people in my line of work around here. Any big baddies terrorizing the innocent?

I've heard talk of a mutiny that took place while I was temporarily sent back home, but considering that I wouldn't have even realised had I not been told, there hasn't been a notable change-up of the system or anything of the sort.

[ ... ]

In short, not really, but we're in space; anything can happen, at this rate.

[pertinacious]

Mutiny? ... Sounds dangerous.

Wait. You got sent back home?!

voice;

[romanticism]

I can't imagine it must have been too awful - but then then I wasn't here, so I'm hardly an authority.

[ Ah, the question on everyone's lips. ]

I did, for a month.
