So, suddenly, there’s this really annoying beeping sound. Like ridiculously so. The unhelpful AI from before remains unhelpful and offers no advice of how to proceed in the light of these beeping noises and– oh look –there’s flashing red lights too. They seem to light up in a pattern, cascading towards navigation in the off chance that everyone got lost or didn’t remember where they came from. Should someone chose to ignore cascading lights an awful, terrible noise sounds a few times until they turn around and go forward as directed. There are boxes upon boxers of bowler hats and bowling balls that need delivery! And what kind of delivery vessel would this be without a good collection of delivery men, women, and aliens.
The incessant beeping doesn’t lighten up until everyone has gathered in navigation (Edgar is very patient for a stupid AI). It’s now that everyone can start to get a good look at everyone else.
Phew! A mostly human crew. I pulled a few Giraffitarians before you, but they had problems with the door height. Edgar chirps happily as they assemble. It’s true, too, mostly everyone at least looks human, save for maybe some vaguely humanoid armored figures and a very clearly out there green man with a double set of eyes. Said green man scoffs. Primitives.
Edgar does not let alien scoffing throw him off and he cheerfully continues as if he didn’t hear it, Good to see all of you made it in one piece! We’ve had some splicing issues in the past. I’d advise you to count your fingers and toes tonight. Humans have twelve of each of those right? My entry on human biology was corrupted slightly on one of those warp jumps.
Comforting. What else did he manage to lose?
Don’t worry! I’ve got my warp drive mostly under control.
Key word: mostly.
I was attempting to return for maintenance, but now that I’ve drafted a crew, we can continue onto Gotor! As the new operatives of this independent transport and shipping unit designated as the Ithaca, you should begin to review standard operating procedure manuals. Our delivery will be a bit late, but I’m sure the boss won’t dock your pay too much.
Pay? Boss? What?
I’m– Suddenly, the AIs voice scrambles and music starts playing. It only lasts a few seconds, and soon enough the AI is continuing, relentlessly chipper, as if nothing happened, –Edgar, by the way.
They’re delivery people. They’re delivery people on a broken ship.
