[Have the Mayor's happy, shiny, smiling face.]

Well! If that wasn't just the adventure of a lifetime, huh? I hope everyone's made it out of there with all fingers and toes intact. And I hope that's not the standard definition of hospitality out here in space!

Though, speaking of hospitality...Who all picked up some new supplies? I know, I know, you're all probably thinking, "Too soon," and, gosh darn it, you're probably right, I admit it. But, heck, we've all got to work together, and figuring out how to make this crazy life of ours out here a little bit nicer - well, that fosters a bit of togetherness! So here's what I think: anyone who grabbed things they don't necessarily need, meet up and we can have a swap. What do you all think?

[The Mayor is standing with his arms crossed, leaning against his desk, a serious expression on his face - indeed, a Dad Has Things To Say expression on his face. And so Dad starts in with the things he has to say, solemn but still with a politician's smoothness:]

Well, this sure isn't a happy day, but it's good to see almost all of us made it out of that okay. And it's good to see we kept a good number of them alive, as well. Getting blood on your hands is an ugly thing, and I'm sorry to all of you who went through with it.

[He straightens up.]

But it seems to me like we have another ugly thing in front of us. There are more than a few bodies out there, and sure, we didn't like 'em while they were alive, but that doesn't mean they don't have the right to a decent burial. Besides which, we sure as heck don't want 'em stinking up the place a month from now.

Now, I don't know much about space, but if we were at sea we'd be burying them at sea - so I assume the best thing to do would be to push them out the airlocks, right? And anyone who's able to do so can read the last rites.

[Probably better if he doesn't; the orders that he's a priest of tend to have...unpleasant going-away sermons.]

Well, hey there folks.

[The Mayor sits in his room, smiling cheerfully down at his communicator. He's a nice-looking man with a friendly voice and a kindly demeanor.]

Wow - what an adventure, huh? [He raises a hand to forestall arguments.] Now, before anyone gets mad at me, I'm not saying, "Gee, it's great to be here." I've got plenty to get back to - heck, I'm the mayor of the greatest city there is, and I don't want it to have to get along without me! But that doesn't make this anything less than an adventure, and I say even if we're mad or sad or something we still make the best of it.

So let's start out with introductions! "We all already know each other," you're probably all groaning, and I say to that, settle down, let me catch up a little. I'm Mayor Richard Wilkins of Sunnydale. And I'm really glad to meet each and every one of you, and I'm looking forward to having more adventures with you all!

And now it's your turn. Be nice to me, and step forward and tell me your name and what you do here.
