[Christian still isn't sure he's using this thing, whatever it is, correctly. It confuses the hell out of him. But he's seen other people popping up on his screen, so he can only assume that when he pushes something that says video and sees his own face on the screen that everyone else can also see it.

He clears his throat, takes a deep breath, and-]

Hello, my name is Christian, and... well, I'm really not sure at all what I'm doing.

[His expression tightens a bit, his eyebrows drawn together. The confusion his clear on his face- and fear.]

Everything is very strange and I suppose I would really just like some sort of better explanation for what's going on.

[Should he stop there? Should he keep going? He clears this throat again.]

Right, well. Thank you.

Sorry dude. You're dead and this is hell.

Hope you had a good life.

Hello. My name is Remus Lupin. And--

[He scowls a little.]

Despite what the person above me said, there's no evidence we're dead. Quite the opposite, in fact. As far as I can tell, we're all about a ship traveling through space. Aboard the ship are many different types of people, from many different times or worlds-- which may or may not sound rather fantastic and unreal, but I assure you, it's quite true.

That's great. Let me know if you get one.

[He sounds... mildly sarcastic. Disbelieving, maybe? But he's looking for that explanation, too, so. Here's to hoping it comes up.]

I don't think anybody has a better explanation than what's already in the Welcome Guide yet.

[There's a pause where Brendan's large fingers try to pull it up on his device, like he can give this guy, Christian, a little reassurance that he isn't as out of the loop as he thinks he is.]

Do you need a copy?

None of us are sure what we're doing, and it doesn't stop being strange. I'm sorry.

For now, you should be okay if you just don't taste the goo, don't go wandering off on your own, and pretty much don't ever listen to anything Simon tells you.

Pleased to make your acquaintance, Christian. I am Garry, and I sincerely wish I had more information to offer you.

Here's hoping we can find a way out of this bizarre situation as soon as possible.
