--Ah hello! [taps the Sphere] Good to know this lovely little recorder still works, especially after that last barrage of festive decorations and goodies. I had a couple Christmas trees in my kitchen. At least they were pre-light [mumbles] and had no suspicious ornaments hanging off the branches. Everything was covered in snow too, but I suppose that's better than the buckets of slime dumped on my head in the bathroom a while ago... It's all gone now, even the trees. Thank goodness too, that was a lot of slime.

[wanders into his bedroom, expecting more stuff to appear and is slightly disappointed when nothing does]

Huh, all done with that, eh ship? Anyway...there was a point to--Oh yes! [pulls his coat out from the drawers and throws it over the Sphere. His voice is muffled and sounds like he's moving about the room.] If anyone was curious, I did check out the hospital wing--or rather Oliver and I did; he helped--and there's a nice robot there who can treat us if we get injured. He's a bit pushy, but flatter him a bit and he'll open right up. Not sure exactly what all he can do medically, as far as major surgery goes anyway, but he's pretty useful.

[beat. finally removes coat and he's put on his brown suit! and is much happier.] Better!

Unfortunately, we didn't run into anyone else; heard the lot of you chatting on this, though. Sounds like there's a lot more people up and about now, eh? The restricted levels are very much restricted and out of bounds, even for me. [does not like being kept out. is not a stays-in-bounds kind of guy]

Haven't been all over the ship yet. Blimey, this place is huge! And by huge, I mean "immensely and you better be wearing good shoes or else you'll get blisters" kind of huge.

Has anyone else discovered anything interesting or out of the ordinary? [finally opens the little box left on his bed and his blood runs cold upon seeing the note inside] Did...anyone else get a little gift in their room? Tiny box, pretty packaging?

Yes! Well, I'd suppose so. Ollie and me had nothing wrong with us at the time, but I do know he can run a DNA test and does a quick, thorough physical exam. He's the type of robot that can heal things like scraps and cuts, that kind of thing, for sure. But like I said, he went away before I could properly exam it and determine if he did major surgery or not.

It's looking like the lot of us got that message. Wonder who's the one calling for help...

Oh yes, I'm the Doctor. And you are?

Sasuke.

[[ Looks down at the help message again. ]]

Hard to tell. A note only says so much, and the probability is high another person would be asking for help. One of the passengers... probably not. The captain? The hidden crew?

[bit_impossible]

True, the note could've said, "Help--I broke the button for the celebrations and everything's going haywire and I can't stop it" and they only had room for "Help".

Doubt it's the captain. Sounds bright and cheery during his messages, but then again, maybe he trapped himself in the bridge or wherever he keeps the PA system for the ship. My bet's on the crew.

[[ Is really examining the slip of paper now. ]]

How limited.

The crew... there was one before, you believe.

[bit_impossible]

Had to have been. No one besides a genius can run a ship all by himself. Besides, who would the captain send in case any repairs needed to be done to the ship?

[redpaperfan.livejournal.com]

Pending human crew contact, maintenance appears to be run with those robot creatures.

[bit_impossible]

Ahhh, I should've known. Got a robot doctor, why not a robot repair crew? Perhaps that's our problem. Everything's all automated! Maybe the captain himself is the only one without a gear grinding away inside his head.

Wait, you sound like you meant specific ones. Which creatures are you talking about?

[redpaperfan.livejournal.com]

...All of them? I don't know specific duties, though it stands to reason creatures acting in a service capacity would work in all kinds of service capacities.

[[ Sasuke's comparing it to how a village should run; he has no idea what to really make of robots, since they are in themselves news to him as of arriving here. ]]
