[Reim understands absolutely nothing about... outer space, even after the initial orientation, so there's only one solution: writing himself a report about it. It's a force of habit, and he doesn't intend to share it at first (hence the strange heading) but he figures he might as well use it to present his various inquiries. He's going to be writing it anyway, so...
Well, it's better than looking out any windows and getting ulcers from space.]

Report 1 (Rough draft) | Month X/Day X | Author: Reim Lunettes
We appear to be in outer space.
The author (hereafter "I/me") is unfamiliar with the concept of "space" as it has been presented here (more accurate word: the Heavens? This lacks the atmosphere of something heavenly...) but has taken up the task of organizing the information presented haphazardly during "Orientation."
I was able to speak with the attendant upon (...) waking, but unable to ascertain any pertinent information. The conversation began as follows:
Q. (to attendant) What is going on here?
A. All of your questions will be answered in a moment at Orientation.
While perhaps my demeanor had been more frantic than can be accurately portrayed here in words, all manner of simple questions were regarded in this fashion. Then, proceeding into the next room to watch a moving picture that continued to make absolutely no logical sense, followed by being presented with the following and left to my own devices:
• An uncomfortably small uniform. I do not think it will fit me.
• Some kind of pendant.
• This device.
• Additional information that still has yet to explain in full what a "starship" is but does at least provide some helpful rules and regulations to adjust to living aboard one. Whatever it may be.
• The stars are outside. I will have to ask someone for medication to eliminate vertigo.
• A transcription of the moving picture that still does not make an ounce of sense.
To this end, being left to my own devices as I am, I am currently making arrangements to seek additional counsel about what is actually going on here and why this bag has been referred to as a "duffel." Interviews with those who have been here longer than I will be conducted in the following format:
Respondent:
Time:
Place:
Notes:
Q. Hello. My name is Reim Lunettes and I would like to have a moment of your time. What is your name?
Q. Have you ever been to "space" before?
Q. How familiar are you with the items found aboard this "starship"?
Q. What items were packed inside your "duffel"?
With these questions, I believe I will be able to report back with a more thorough understanding of the situation.
[Anyway, hope everyone enjoys this report that is half serious and half fed up with not understanding why everything glows and the pictures move. This is probably deserving of ridicule, but only a little.]

As for question number three, I am referring primarily to the technology. For example, this much electricity in one place seems very dangerous, but no one else thinks so!
no subject
If it's things like that, I think I can say I'm familiar. [ His lab computer probably runs like, MS-DOS, but it is a computer… ] Have a lot of people told you it's not dangerous?
no subject
Enough. I'm used to oil lamps.
no subject
Then you're used to danger! I almost died trying to use an oil lamp once. You should go look at the hangar.
[ Since he's clearly into vertigo and wants more!! ]
no subject
What is the hangar? I don't see what that has to do with oil lamps.
no subject
It's where they keep all the ships. It'd be good to familiarize yourself with all this technology, right?
[ By wandering around on other people's personal property, do it. ]
no subject
[How many horrible space trains are there.]
no subject
[ Anyway this is cutting too close to being helpful, about that "stealing mysterious items from the med bay under the guise of seeking treatment for something super minor" thing— ]
Do you have to deal with vertigo often?
no subject
No. Usually I have stomach pains, actually.
no subject
okay
he didn't ask for this, he doesn't actually want to hear about anyone's health problems, what is this nerd doing. ]
You should see somebody about that.
[ Did he say he was a doctor? That doesn't sound like him. ]
no subject
Eventually. I'm quite busy right now.
no subject
With the new job, yeah? What did they give you?
no subject
I sell books now.
no subject
It seems like a lot of effort for a few answers. Are you learning a lot?
