Yes! I already--I mean, that is... [FOCUS!!! BE PROFESSIONAL!!! AHEM.] I just want to be sure you know you can count on me. Even if you're used to stressful situations, there are a lot of things we still don't know about this.
[he will be a bully target forever. unfortunately she finds this very endearing though.]
Likewise, I'd like both of you to feel you can count on me. At the least, I have some experience with this type of corporate entity, so I hope I'll have some advantages navigating the red tape.
[It's what he deserves he must be nerfed in every possible way.
But he smiles at them both!!]
Great! We'll make an awesome team. [He says this like he didn't just decide on his own to be their guard and also everyone's rescuer but whatever. Moving on!!] So--what's it like where you guys are from?
It's super different for me... We don't have space travel, or nearly as many fancy machines...
I live in a big cathedral in a place called Daath. Our religion has a really important role in the world, so we all work hard to follow the teachings of Yulia!
[For when they're dealing with something that doesn't respond well to authority figures and they need their trump card of adorable teenage girl]
Those are pretty different! It feels a little like my world's halfway between both of yours. [THEY'RE POLAR OPPOSITE VIBES WOW.] Did you get everything figured out, Anise? We can probably answer your questions about the stuff you don't recognize.
[Just volunteers Margaret for this but he didn't get the vibe that she'd mind]
Absolutely. I'd be happy to walk either of you through any of the technology if you have trouble with it. I'm not an expert like Luke, but it is more familiar to me.
You'll probably know more than me about some of this, Margaret. Space travel is still pretty rudimentary, where I'm from. [2030 really isn't that far in the future, even for Earth Slightly To The Left.
As for the IRIS--]
It's definitely pretty powerful. We have devices at home that can do a lot of similar things, but not to this level. The translator, for example--ours still aren't the best. [He lifts his wrist, pulling the interface up.] I'm a little surprised there's no e-reader, though. It certainly has the capabilities for it.
It can't connect to any network outside the ship, really, either, so that's limited. But I'd be happy to show you some of the functions. There are games on it, if you like that.
[she's also here, setting a timer on her i.r.i.s. to begin some meditation during this time period where you guys are playing little mobile games. be serious. maybe if they had wordle.]

I would. It's my job to keep people safe--and there's no guarantee that the senior crew or their superiors don't have access to these rooms.
[Whether or not he'd be able to stop them is another can of worms, but. There's no point in spiraling; he'd much rather at least try.]
I can take naps during the day. The lounge looked pretty nice, too.

I do plan to ask for some adjustments to these arrangements. But in the meantime, that will work out.

Huh? No, that's not--I'm just doing my job!

Not that different from this? I'm from the galaxy spanning megacorporation world myself.

This IRIS thing is super weird. I figured out how to do a couple things, but it sounds like it can do a lot?
