001. it's the way you name your ship | video
[ The video feed begins and a young man stares curiously into the camera. He has the distinct look of someone who's just climbed out of their deathbed and hastily tried to make themselves look presentable -- if there is a distinct look for such a thing -- and that would be because that's exactly what he's done.
Still, despite his obvious weariness, his expression is almost cheerful. ]
L-- [ No, not Lieutenant. Not anymore. ] Archie Kennedy. Warden Kennedy, I suppose. [ He raises his hand and it sort of lingers in the air because it strikes him that he has no idea if he should be saluting or not. Do wardens salute? Do convicted mutineers?
Likely not, so he lets it drop back down to his side. ]
This Admiral, he's -- [ There's a pause as he considers his next words carefully. He can't be too forward about his opinions of this mysterious figure, not so soon after the Renown. There's no telling who could be listening. Also, first impressions and all that.] -- well. He must be an interesting fellow to command such a vessel.
Does the entire crew dress as they please? If I must report to someone to receive uniform, I'd be obliged to learn at the very least his name. The one I'm wearing hardly seems appropriate. [ It's difficult to tell by the angle of the camera but he's wearing an old-fashioned naval uniform. It doesn't strike him as the correct attire for a warden. ] Thank you.

I've already been told that most people here are from a much further point in the future.

If it helps, most of us are playing catch up in different ways, when we first get here.

It helps a little. It is a small comfort knowing that impossible prison ships are strange even in the future.
[ And apparently strange on other worlds too but he doesn't feel quite ready to touch on that just yet. ]
