"Whew, that took longer than I thought it would."
"What happened, Tamara? Is something wrong?"
"Nah, the girl just doesn't like wearing clothes for some reason.
  I had a hell of a time just getting the shirt on her."
"Huh. Really does make you wonder where she's from."
"You and me both, Commander."

"Now what?"
"Well, we can't exactly drop her off somewhere.
  We can't turn around, not yet."
"Yeah... I guess I'll watch over her, then? She can sleep in my bunk with me."
"That'll help a lot, thanks. I'll help out when I can, too.
  I'm not sharing my room, though. My reputation is bad enough as it is..."
"Ahh, don't listen to Bennett."
"Don't worry. If it's not about the ship, I don't."

"Well now, what am I going to do with you?
  I guess I'll show you around?
  Not like you'll understand...
  Oh well, where we are now is cargo. It's where we keep, well, the cargo.
  Right now, that'd be your pod here.
  Next up is munitions.
  That's beyond our borders. You must never go there.
  References aside, seriously don't go there.
  Anyways, here's the common room. It's where we all hang out when we're supposed to be working.
  Like Yasmin; she's always here. Pity she's our medic."
[Support] Tentative name assigned to organic life: 'Yasmin'
"What am I supposed to do when no one's injured?"
"I don't know, organize stocks?"
"Just how many times do you think I've organized those stocks?"
"Twice?"
"At least three times. Who's this girl?"
"Don't know. We found her floating in an escape pod."
"Way out here?"
"Yeah. Weird, huh?
  Anyways, you can't really rely on her, but she's nice.
  And she's always here, so if you need something, you know where to find her.
  Speaking of Yasmin, here's the medical ward. Normally, this is where I'd introduce you to our medic, Yasmin.
  But for _some reason_ she's not here."
"I heard that!"
"Next up is science and engineering. This is where Grace hangs out. You saw her earlier.
  She's basically the opposite of Yasmin. She only leaves her nook when the commander needs her."
"I heard that too!"
[Mure] I believe Yasmin's name has been verified
[Support] Quite
"Stop shouting across the ship, Yasmin!
  Ignoring her, this place is also kind of dangerous.
  Visiting is fine, but it's no place to play.
  And here's security. Don't... play her either?
  This really isn't a ship for a kid be on...
  _Anyways_
  Last up, command! The commander practically lives here.
  Feel free to play here, no one cares."
"I care."
"Your opinion doesn't count, Bennett."
"My opinion counts!"
"I'm not talking about you this time, Yasmin!"
