The ship has been still this entire time, still anchored to the orbital dock. Finally, it seems, speakers scattered throughout the ship crackle to life.
"All crew, this is Bridge Officer Vivian. Before liftoff, our Captain would like to make a speech."
The captain goes off into a long speech about discovery and our purpose in life, about truth and science, yadayadayada. Most of you aren't listening and everyone else quickly forgets the details.
Oh God, he's still talking.
"...As the crew of this Deep Space Battlecruiser, the Second Eden, our mission is to seek out this new universe, now open to us."
There is a bit of silence before the Bridge Officer takes back the mic.
"All crew, prepare for undock and warp to Oort Station."
Call your first action.
Sasha is found walking down a nondescript hallway as the captain makes his speech, not even pausing momentarily (although it does prompt her to wonder "what happened to the first Eden?").
She seems in a rush to get somewhere, but there is nowhere to be. Perhaps that's just the way she walks everywhere.
