[Video: Wednesday, Week 48] Hopefully we skip past singing 'Daisy Bell'.

[The backdrop is a middling familiar one to anyone who's been paying the slightest bit of attention to the goings-on with Salvation, consoles of a futuristic bent: mostly functional, bulkheads: some damaged. Kaidan is leaning up against one of the bits of better-repaired tech, his communicator propped up to let him speak as if giving an interview.

(To the annoyance, somewhere in the multiverse, of one Diana Allers, he seems a lot more open about this one.)]

So, ah, hey there.

This is Kaidan Alenko, since I know we've had some new people wake up since the last time I was on the network. I'm one of the people that's been working on the ship, among other things, and I figured I should let you all know how it's going.

Ah... specifically I'm trying to bring Salvation's ship's AI back online. AIs are kind've a touchy subject back where I'm from, and I imagine that's probably not an isolated experience, so I thought I may as well put this out there so people can get any questions or concerns out now, instead of after they've tried storming the ship and ended up put inside a force field by it.

If there are any newly decanted engineers or other folks with mechanical or electrical skills, we could sure use more hands on this project too. I'm hoping that bringing Salvation back online will let us figure out how best to fix her so we can work on getting home again.

Now don't go saying that! I'm gonna feel so embarrassed if I can't live up to your expectations.

[Kaidan grins, eyes crinkled at the corners and his expression warmly amused.]

Oh, I think you'll do just fine. Besides, you'll probably have a lot of time to think things over before I can even hope of getting her running again.

[She smirks back, enjoying the banter.]

I'll be sure to take my time, then. Unless you end up getting a ton of volunteers and it's up and running before you know it.

Ah, that would be nice. I guess it's good to have dreams.

In the meantime, I promise I'll make sure to book some rack time into the schedule. I know enough not to antagonize medical staff. You're scary.

[Says the biotic space marine and second human Spectre.]

[She places a hand to her chest in mock shock, though the camera probably cuts off most of the action.]

Well now, it's just rude to call a lady scary, especially when she's just trying to look out for your health.

[standsentinel]

Hey now, scary has no bearing on you being a perfectly nice person. Some of the nicest people I know can still kill you with their pinkie.

And since you're passing that up to save lives, well...

[He trails off with a grin.]

[hypospraying]

Then that makes me a saint, I know.

[Have a grin back.]

Good luck will all you're doing.

I have a feeling we'll need it.

I'll try not to make more work for you while I'm at it.

[And with a salute that, while playful, is still somehow incredibly crisp, Kaidan signs off.]
