[here, have a video. It's a smiling, pleasant-looking man in his mid thirties. He has the calm air of someone who has practiced saying this into the camera a few times.]

Hello, everyone. My name is Jarod DiCaprio, and I've recently taken post on board this ship along with a few new wardens. I'll begin serving on board staring just about---[he looks at his watch]---now. That's a good time to start, I think.

I look forward to meeting everyone, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Oh, for a jail or something?

I'm a warden.

I do not know. But her teacher fears your interference and in this I trust.

I'm thinking about it. I'm leaning towards threatening at the moment, but the option of just finding you and punching you in the face is getting better and better.

All right, Denise, but if he can do the job, I'm gonna add him the infirmary. There are only three of us now and we need more Doctors.

[toldastory]

No. We have scanners and what not here.

There's a fair amount of emergency medicine involved. We have a high murder rate because it seem that people tend to forget that when you kill someone, they come back here.

Vampires. [he sounds seriously doubtful]

There's that much violence on board?

What about surgical equipment? What sort of medical technology are you stocked with? Does anything update over time?

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Does it have to be the face? I think Denise already called that. You might want to aim for my left kidney, though. I've got a slight tear in it from my time as a kickboxer, so a good solid knee to it would probably cause me to urinate blood.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Or something.

Well, it looks like we'll be working together, then. Have you been here long?

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Teacher. And Miss Parker is the student.

I think her teacher is more concerned about the influence I might have rather than the things I might do.

And who is your teacher?

It varies from week to week. This week I think we've only had one murder. Some weeks we have mass causalities. It tends to be more around certain port times. After the last one about a third of the barge ended up here.

Our medical tech is as varied as the people who've worked here. We've got 51st century scanners and security from when McCoy was here, and we've got modern to me stuff. I'm from 2008.

I'm sure I'll pick up on it. It's what I'm good at, after all.

I'll head over now.

Greetings. I am Data. [Appreciates that he seems enthusiastic, and doesn't detect anything unusual about that name in the least.] I am a warden here as well.

[private]

[toldastory]

All right. We're on the second level.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Always nice to see a friendly face.

Is everyone else always this...aggressive?

[a-bit-put-upon.livejournal.com]

You look awfully familiar, though I can't quite place you. Name doesn't ring a bell, and I hardly forget those. Ah, well. Hello, and pleased to meet you; I'm the Doctor. For the nonce, it seems, the Doctor of the Library. [Not that he sounds too upset about that, of course.]

[acid_rayne]

Vampires.

[empirical_data]

Unfortunately. Many appear to seek out things to be irritated with, though I have largely attributed it to a stressful environment and collective reinforcement of negative emotion.

[vampish_aleera]

Neither shall be welcome.

I knew of two. Now it is I who teach another, in turn.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

I'm assuming this isn't a metaphorical reference.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Is there often a need for medical attention in the library?

[acid_rayne]

If only...

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

And probably the inability to lash out at much else. Feeling like an animal in a cage. I know what that's like.

Have you been here long?

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Miss Parker's a big girl, Aleera. She'll be all right. Especially if she has people caring for her.

So you're a warden, too.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

And why do they preoccupy your time?
