[1] [It's a video transmission! Which shows a teenage boy, trying not to be tense and awkward and failing miserably. Also it's very obvious he's reading from offscreen.]

Is this on...? Unity Group, I should introduce myself. My name is Toshikazu Asagi. I am a member of Team Rabbits, and the pilot of the experimental AHSMB Blue One. My team was assigned to work with you after the recent operation, and... I hope we'll be able to repel aliens and other enemies as well as we did this day. We saved lots of people together.

...I'm not the team leader, but if you hae questions for any member of the team, you can find us all around easily enough. Let's work well together.

[He sighs in relief. That went better than expected, despite his stage fright! Suddenly Asagi realizes the camera is still going on and grabs the screen, cutting the signal. The transmission is over but he can still be easily reached, either via the comms or in person.]

This looks very good. I think I can get used to living like this! Just...

What are you doing in my room?

[Not restricted to just people he knows. Groups welcome too.]

I dunno, but I think its bigger than mine. Besides, everybody else seems to be coming in, so why not standardise things?

[cloningblues]

I don't want this kind of standardization.

Are you sure your room doesn't just feel smaller because you already cluttered it up with weapons and stuff?

[gold_four]

Of course not!

...Well yes, some space is gone, but not much! My quarters are just built around some of the station infrastructure, so space runs out compared to other rooms.

[...how convenient...]

[cloningblues]

Does that mean some of the station's electronics is running directly through your room?

[Asagi already thinks of several ways this can go wrong.]

[gold_four]

Physical infrastructure. One of the big old beams that makes and reinforces the shape of the station is in the way...

Though yes, a good chunk of wiring too. Better yet, one of the panels on the wall is loose.

[cloningblues]

Call a technician to fix it. And don't fiddle with it yourself!

[gold_four]

Oh? Who said anything about fixing it?

[cloningblues]

So you're going to fiddle with it anyway.

[gold_four]

Relax, noone'll notice a little extra power drain. Really, thats what makes the mark 9 laser core so incredible - decent performance for relatively low demand.

[cloningblues]

You're going to turn on a laser in your room?! Have you gone nuts?

[gold_four]

Relax, its no big deal. It'll be set to a narrow focus, and it'll going up against sheets of metal anyway. At worst, I burn a slight hole into my wall.

...Well, unless there's a power surge or something...

[cloningblues]

I am not covering your ass if something happens.
