[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.

[ Getting people back home. Something about that's not quite as reassuring as he likely means it to be. Shepard... Well, if Tali's any judge? Shepard doesn't exactly have much to go back to.

But Kaidan does, and plenty of others here do too. Shepard always has been one to take one for the team.

So she asks: ]

What can I do to help?

[standsentinel]

How are you doing on getting that thing out of your neck?

[It's not exactly a retort, not given that Kaidan's staring at her with hopeful concern. More... logistics, it sounds like. No tapping Shepard to help when she's booked to be having surgery, apparently.]

I know your background isn't an engineer any more than the other Shepard here's is, but we're all of us Alliance Navy so that's got to be a base for something. If you feel like bashing your head against a console until it works, I won't mind the company.

Of course, there's also this partially collapsed corridor leading off the server room that someone should look at.

[femshep]

Still waiting for the call-back.

[ So any day, really. As for his suggestions... ]

I feel like I'd be more use in the corridor.

[standsentinel]

The corridor is yours to command, then.

[Kaidan sketches her a playful salute to go with this bit of mock-fomality]

Let me know if you run into anything with pointy teeth.
