[Look at this prim and proper gentleman settling himself for the camera. There's a window behind him, looking out at the stars. He mildly clears his throat.]

There, now that all that's settled... Quite the welcome for someone new to your merry Barge, I have to say. I'm afraid I haven't properly introduced myself yet, though perhaps a few of you know me now. It didn't seem proper to try and send a greeting when everything was--

Well.

[The less said about the ship full of kids and teens, the better.]

Lieutenant Commander Malcolm Reed, formerly of the starship Enterprise, reporting for duty as a freshly minted warden. I hope to fulfill my duties to the best of my abilities, but until I am assigned an inmate...I suppose I'm just--one of the crew for now.

[He's about to shut it off, but pauses, pensive, before sitting back again for a moment.] I've been--[warned]--informed that some people on this ship might already know me in some shape or form. To my knowledge, I, personally, have never been on this vessel or have entered an agreement with the Admiral prior to a few days ago. I would like to issue a blanket apology to those who might have known me, since I will not remember you.

Starship?!

[I meet your prim and proper gentleman and raise you a prim and proper lady, who seems pretty startled by that 'starship' comment. Thankfully, she regains her composure quickly, and gives a timid smile.]

I-it's lovely to meet you, Lieutenant. I'm Luna and-- Um, I suppose we'll be working together from now on.

[inhistorybooks]

Well, I'm just offended. Here I thought we were pals.

[Hi Malcolm why are you old. :C]

[bitteraftertaste]

Pleasure to meet you officially, Lieutenant Commander. I'm sorry for getting you involved in that childish drama.

[lastrat]

[He has really, really not been looking forward to this, and frankly he's been treating the majority of the Barge as if it didn't happen. He's not about to spew apologies. It wouldn't feel remotely true.]

Welcome aboard. [Which is sort of a stand in for 'sorry.' Sort of.]

[ Warden Filter ]

[surfaceshine]

[Oh good. Fresh meat.

Dean is smiling broadly when he flips his feed on. It's almost insulting to think of this dude pulling a deception stunt, but he goes ahead with the filter, anyway.]

Wait, who's calling it merry? We need to get 'em stopped before we're sued for misrepresentation or someshit.

I'm Dean.

[intelligently]

You're optimistic.

[ She tried to be optimistic about everything when she arrived, wanting to get on and do everything, but the responses she got... didn't seem to agree with that ]

Don't let anyone shoot that down.
