[ She may reply in text later but this at least starts off video because an introduction is of limited use if you wouldn't recognize the person making it if you passed them in the hall. Kate is leaned against a railing down at the dock, image carefully framed so she's visible from the shoulders up but off center, the better to show the bulk of a ship behind her. She smiles, polite but warm, a trace of genuine excitement in it she's not bothering to hide. ]

Hello! Some of us have met before but if not, I'm Kate Bishop and behind me you see the warship Atalanta. I'm now its captain and you're getting this message because you are its crew. Welcome.



I thought I'd introduce myself, then if you can each do the same we can all get a head start on getting to know each other and talk about what's next. I'm attaching the crew list in text and am going to stop filming because it's loud as hell down here, I just wanted to give you a glimpse. [ she pauses, and her smile ticks crooked and wider ] Of the ship. I look forward to meeting in person and working together soon.

[ The feed ends and a text comes next, as promised. ]

To those of you who don't know me, I've been with the ZDG for about five years now. I served most recently on the Durga during the post-crash mission, and before that on the Erebus, where I specialized in in-Matrix recon and combat. I've also done some weapons work and a little piloting, and when I'm not on mission I work as a trainer. If you have questions, feel free to ask.

1. Approximately 21 weeks.

2. Earth, 1978. I haven't really gotten a good sense of what is "standard" or not just yet. Magic existed, though, and technology, though not to the level available here. Phones, cars. Rudimentary space flight.

3. I've had military training in my home matrix; specialty in sharpshooting and marksmanship with firearms. I've also had experience with thrown knives and hand-to-hand. I've been adjusting those in training. Most of my sim training, such as it's been, has been combat-focused so far, but I'm still logging my hours.

4. Before I was unplugged, I was mostly focused in diplomacy. I know some basic field first aid. I was a good driver for cars, but I don't know that it matters here. I was a decent photographer. I can ski. I know a great many drinking songs in several languages if we get bored.

5. Anything anyone wants to show me how to do. I'm a fast learner and I hate sitting around.

6./7. Too new to have anything specific for either of these so far.
