Entry 1. blogging is difficult.
[John never was a genius with technology, but he seems to have mastered the communicator within a couple of hours of his arrival. He turns on the camera and props up the device on his deck, showing the very neat, very tidy, and very sparse bedroom behind him. He's sitting up nice and tall in his chair - no slouching for this man.]
Hi. [No, no, John, too informal.] Hello. [He clears his throat. Right. Just like a video blog. Come on, Watson, get it together.]
My name is Dr. John Watson, and I'm not quite sure what's gone off here, but it looks like you could use a little help in your infirmary. Didn't bring my cv with me, hope that's not a problem. I think I'll meet whatever qualifications you have anyway.
[John rubs his chin and looks away from the camera. He's just a little too awkward for this video-business. His face lights up as he suddenly remembers something else to talk about, and jerks his thumb in the vague direction of his door.]
By the way, and not to make light of the situation or anything, but that....what do you call it...[He holds his arms out, then puts them back down quickly because he feels like an idiot.] The expanse out beyond the ship -- the view from the top deck. That's amazing. Really fantastic. Thought I was going to be sick over the side, actually, my head was spinning so fast.
[A laugh and a grin.] Really brilliant.
