[video] warning for through the roof enthusiasm

Hey everyone! [this is probably said much louder than is necessary for the communicators, apologies for any speaker distortion] I'm Newt, I'm new and I'm in space! You're in space! This is the coolest thing. I never thought that I'd be up here among the stars and such, but now that I am, I'm pretty sure I just want to roll around in zero gravity.

Where are you guys from? I was last living on Earth, Hong Kong if we're being exact. I was born in Germany though, lived there for a while and also lived in America 'cause I've got American parents. Round round get around, right?

I'm a biologist and signed up for the science team so hard. Fellow nerds, hit me up!

Was this too much like a speed dating profile? I don't like long walks. Beaches can stay.

[Finally, someone with as much enthusiasm as he has! Newt, you've instantly got this guys attention, and in a good way.]

Earth, huh? Not a bad place from what I remember. You know, once you take out all the war business. I'm from Cybertron, myself.

...

But hey, welcome to space!

[holy moses. was this a talking jaeger? newt had watched enough anime to know that this was definitely a possibility, he just never expected to see it in his lifetime.]

Whoa.

I mean, hi.

I mean, you're so awesome, look at you!

Wow, can I get a space hi-five?

We Earth people gotta stick together! Are you really named after a lizard?

Edited 2014-03-19 23:23 (UTC)

I'll double it. [newt pushes both hands toward the camera, imitating a high ten]

And to answer your question, I was named after Sir. Isaac Newton. I just think the little guys are cool. Fun fact! Although they look like lizards, newts are actually amphibians.

[...

....

......

WAT?]

Speed dating?

[That may or may not have been the only thing Tron really got out of that.]

I don't mean getting high and going to the movies, if that's what you're asking. Though it may help...?

Hi Mr. Newt!

My name is Pinoko! I'm from Earth too! I'm from Japan.

I'm a nurse. So I know a lot about biology. Maybe we can trade stories?

[Man, more new people? How many people were brought over in the accident? This was a way bigger accident than Pinoko originally thought...]

And hello back, Ms. Pinoko!

Oh man, stories are awesome, as is knowing who to go to if I accidentally cut myself open.

[Talk about your first impression.]

Now see, this is exactly how I was expecting humans to act like in space.

I can't tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing. If it's a bad thing I will fight you.

[She's trying to keep amusement at Newt's spiel tamped down, because enthusiasm and science makes a great combination. Also, just because space travel is normal for her...]

Welcome aboard, Newt.

[And by way of casually introducing herself, in turn:]

Kathryn Janeway. Indiana born-and-raised, myself. I've been trying to catch up on the fleet's database, as well -- maybe we'll have to compare notes, sometime.

Thank you, ma'am.

[Her tone and poise give the aura of command. Newt's not a soldier but he feels as if he should salute anyway.]

Oh hey! Indiana's cool. I've gone to some great outdoor concerts there. I lived in Massachusetts, but I swear I'm not a snob or whatever other stereotype future people have thought up by now.

And I meant to say earlier that it's great to meet you. Sorry.

[that's just gonna get yelling right back tbh]

WELL NOT EVERYONE IS FROM SPACE, JERK.

...a biologist.

[She kinda doubts you study anything.]

Edited 2014-03-20 03:37 (UTC)

And a doctor several times over.

From actual schools not on the internet, FYI.

Sup dude? I guess I'm kind of a nerd but more of the... uses the weapons the boffins dream up type. Ask the science captain about R4MBO sometime.

Oh dude, awesome! Do you have robots? How big of a hole can you blast in things? Is R4MBO the obvious reference I think it is or are you just toying with me?

[SQUINT. Wow, this guy is excited.]

Speed datin'?

[Ironhide is that seriously all you can think to say in response to that.]

Yeah, it's like blind date roulette with 30 people or whatever and you only have five minutes to talk before moving on.

In your case it would be more like... other nice robots?

This fleet would be a better place if you didn't attempt to fulfill multiple stereotypes at once.

Excuse you I am a person.

You're... very excited about all of this.

Where are those places?

On Earth! All separate continents with wildly different cultures, but cool in their own ways. You've never lived until you've had German cheese. Can you even eat cheese?

A biologist! I'm an engineer, with a speciality in thermodynamics but I dabble in a number of professions.

[He appreciates Newt's enthusiasm!] So how is their research department? [He also rolls those "R"s pretty hard, especially when he says "research".]

Oh awesome! Are you with the military? I bet they could use that kind of expertise.

So far the research is pretty rad, but my work in't here so I might have to power through some things from scratch again. But the library's crazy extensive and the tech is A+++.

[right on nerds!]

I can't tell if you're really cute or really obnoxious.

I like to think it's a little from column A and a little from column B.

I'm from Japan, 3006 A.D. That's where my operating area was located, too, so I didn't get to see a lot of other countries while I was there.

We did have some immigrant populations from Korea and China, though.

What kind of biology do you specialize in?

Whoa. So how does the tech here compare to where you're from?

Marine biology, and if you're getting even more specific, giant alien monsters from the sea.

Yeah, space is a trip. [No one is allowed to have a good time in space without McCoy trying to ruin it.]

Just wait til this goddamn hunk of titanium's got a gaping hole in it's hull, and there's nothing separating you from the cold vacuum of certain death.

[Wow he is friendly. Guess what Moa loves! (It's friendly people!) She appears on the feed, unfortunately not a giant talking robot or cool alien or anything, but maybe they can be friends anyway? :D ]

Hi, Newt. I'm Moa. And I guess I am in space. [Laughs. It is pretty cool, not gonna lie :|b ] Have you been to the big observation window at the front of the ship? Sometimes we go through clouds and it's really cool!

I'm from Orokos. I don't think it's on Earth. But that's where the Fleet is from, right? Earth?
