[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!))

That means "maybe."

[whenitrainsitstorms]

I know what it means to diagnose something.

[A beat. Then, like he's reluctant to admit it:]

I've forgotten a lot of how this works, though. The computer, and the...

[Makes a vague gesture toward technology.]

[court_chesster]

Y-yeah, that was pretty obvious... I mean honestly, I started getting concerned when you couldn't remember what a dog was...

[whenitrainsitstorms]

[Spends just a beat too long silent, worrying it over and thinking about conclusions he doesn't like.]

I'll try to catch up as fast as I can.

[court_chesster]

[nods]

Been thinking about what you want to be called?

[whenitrainsitstorms]

A little. So far, I only know what I don't want.

[court_chesster]

'Stormy'?

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Add that to the list.

[court_chesster]

What else is on it?

[whenitrainsitstorms]

"Shaggy."

[Nooot telling you the third.]

[court_chesster]

How about 'Puppy'? Since you're a dog lover and all.

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Don't those all sound a little too... cute?

[court_chesster]

What's wrong with being cute?

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Things like that just seem like they'd work better for a child.

[court_chesster]

Well, okay. You're our security guy, so maybe something along those lines? Shield? Knight? Bouncer?

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Shield isn't bad.

[court_chesster]

It's all yours if you want it.

How about me? What do you think my name should be?

[whenitrainsitstorms]

What kind of name are you looking for?

[court_chesster]

I dunno. Something friendly?

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Red? Amity?

...Joy?

[court_chesster]

...You know I'm a guy, right...?

[whenitrainsitstorms]

The voice kind of gives it away. Why?

[court_chesster]

No reason.

I do like the color red, though.

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Okay. So the color, but not the word?

What about Carnelian, or Ruby, or Garnet?

[court_chesster]

Hm. I kinda like Carnelian.
