[Communicator clicks on to the soft, dulcet tones of one Steve Newlin. He’s in full-on PR and podcast mode, all charm and you can about hear the dazzling smile on full display.]

Well, howdy and greetings to anyone who might be listening. My fellow denizens of this strange ship, or whatever we might prefer to call ourselves. I’m none too sure, to be perfectly honest. Anyway, I figure its time I introduce myself. I’ve been here only a night or two, and apart from, a… um... sliiiiiight, well lets call it a “mishap”, on my part, I’ve yet to properly explore this Barge I suddenly find myself a passenger of.

So naturally, I want to get to that right away. The name’s Steve Newlin. [Slight pause.] Reverend Steve Newlin, but I suppose that lil bit is bout as useful as, well, a screen door on a submarine, ain’t it? [Little self-deprecating chuckle at his own expense. Another pause then awkwardly:] We’re… not on a submarine, right? Just a ship floating through space? [As if that is somehow a more pleasant thought. It seems like he wants to say more, then clicks off before the awkwardness destroys what little script he’d prepared for himself.]

[Private to Rhys]
[SPEAKING OF AWKWARD…] Um. Soooo… hey. How are you?

[Spam]
[Dressed casually in a dark sweater and plain black pants to match, Steve plans to wander the entirety of the ship, starting with the floor he’s currently residing on, Level 2. The medical facilities and vet clinic get a cursory once over and, unless someone bumps into him around there, he’ll continue on with the tour.

To any who do pass him, he’ll greet them with the same innocent smile and a kind word or two. Very typical ‘pastor greets congregation’ style, trying to memorize every minute detail he can. Keen eye observers, especially those who’ve dealt with vampires, will definitely notice his pale skin, lack of pulse, and if he shakes hands with them, a particular coldness to his touch. He still breathes, though now out of habit than necessity.

He was genuinely honest about his intentions, however; he’s creating a mental map of the entire ship for reference, and noting key details. One of the few times he’s thankful for his newfound eidetic memory.]
