Good afternoon, fellow Transports! [Coby stood in front of his tablet and saluted, the back of his hand facing his forehead rather than saluting in a flat, horizontal fashion. This was the kind of salute that his navy practiced. For once, he was wearing his full attire--his long sleeved collared shirt, his medals and his mantle. Clearly, Coby felt a need to dress at the nines on a Friday afternoon. His stern expression maintained itself with practiced ease.]

As some of you may be aware, my name is Coby and I'm a Marine from a world you may not have heard of. I'm at the rank of 'Captain', which usually exempts me from a number of periodic physical, psychological and mental tests, though as an officer capable of running one or more vessels, I'm still very much responsible for practicing good behavior! [Coby kept his back straight, arms behind himself and his legs perfectly spaced apart to look one hundred percent the part of an officer.]

I have missed a formal evaluation and as a result, I find it imperative to conduct it in the form of a survey to those who have encountered me and interacted with me on a social and work-related basis. Now, for the survey! Ahead of time, I must thank my employer for helping me program this into my post.

Attached to this video post is a document which you may fill out and send back to me. At the bottom, there will be an interactive field in which you can sign your name with your finger if you so desire; however, you're absolutely free to take this survey anonymously. The survey itself will consist of a few basic questions which will be answering numerically from 1 to 10, ten being your highest approval and one being your lowest! Thank you ahead of time for your cooperation!

[At that, Coby left a text file attached.]

[And, dorks will be dorks.]

Well, to be a proper Marine, you need to remain consistent in your personal growth. It's important!

As for exploration, I cannot do much of it here. Surprisingly enough, this entire world is already charted!

Then why follow the charts when you can ditch them and live for surprise? [ Teasingly said. ]

Your weapon should be able to keep track of your personal growth, no?

Er. [Coby was stopped a bit at that. Though he enjoyed adventure on a personal basis, it wasn't strictly the imperative of his navy. He touched his cheek, frowning inwardly.]

Well, yes-- Though, what do you mean by that? About my weapon.

Did they not tell you?

[ Her voice softens. ] Apologies, I forget that it was not so long ago I was rushed through those halls with their words in one ear and out the other.

The weapon they bestowed upon you. It is enchanted.

[Coby suddenly turned bright red. No, they told him--they must have. He had just been so pre-occupied by the streams of vomit that his weapon caused him to unload that he must not have processed it.]

Perhaps not...

Though, I could tell it was a bit odd of a weapon. Certainly not something I'd choose readily.

If it's nothing something you are comfortable with, would it be easier to return it? Surely they would make an exception and help you choose one when your mind is clear.

[ She can suspect people choosing weapons not fit for them in a rush. ]

Er--no, I don't think I can return it. I tried and I was told that I put my mouth all over it...

[He suddenly realized that sounded stupidly weird.]

It's a can of energy drink.

... What is an energy drink?

[ Jaina asks not because it doesn't sound obvious (seriously, a drink that replenishes energy), but because she's interested in what 'energy' was for this young man. ]

It's a drink loaded with chemicals made to help give you boosts of stamina. Typically they're bad for your health.

[He paused, mulling over.] Mine is certainly no exception.
