[After two hours, give or take, the doors open. The computerized voice makes an announcement:]

Life support is fully operational throughout the ship. Bridge crew, please proceed to the bridge to view the full damage report.

((Characters are free to explore the ship. I'll answer whatever questions are posed to the computer, but it doesn't get replies so poke me if I don't seem to notice. o/

ETA: Assume the engine room is locked off for now!))

[okay, names she's starting to get the general gist of, thanks piggyback man, buuut...]

My what? [sounds like boring adult stuff!!!]

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Rank designation.

What you used to do on the ship, before we forgot everything.

[scribbly]

Oh. That sounds dumb. Coloring and hide and seek and stuff is what I wanna do. Can that be my...rank designation?

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Well, one of the designations is "passenger." It means the crew does the work, and you're just along for the ride. Does that sound like something you'd like?

[scribbly]

That means I can just do what I want, right, if there's no work I have to do? That's fine!

[she knows what she's about and having to do work sounds like not doing games!!!]

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Right. You can just have fun and do what you want. We'll set your designation as the passenger, then.

Have you picked a new name?

[scribbly]

Uh-huh! What do you think about "Rose"?

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Strong and colorful, right? I think it sounds like a good name for you.

[scribbly]

[BEAMS!!!!] That's why they're my favorite! [she's SO EXCITED!!!]

...Does that mean we're all done? [her being done does not mean everyone is going to drop everything and play board games with her, no]

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Well, I think we're going to talk about where we plan to go and what we plan to do. Do you want to help us decide?

[scribbly]

Okay! I think we should go down the hall and play Chutes and Ladders.

[no, Rose, different thing]

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Well, playing games is okay for now. But I mean, we need to decide what to do in the long term.

[scribbly]

Oh. But for how long?

[whenitrainsitstorms]

However long we need to. We can probably change it later, if it comes to that.

[scribbly]

That sounds boring. [ugh, child] How come we have to figure stuff out so far ahead of time? Isn't there already a bunch of stuff just to do now?

[whenitrainsitstorms]

There is a lot of stuff to do for now, but the computer needs us to get the rest ready, too. Otherwise, it can't work the way it's supposed to and keep us safe.
