[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.

I don't intend on standing for her doing anything that fucking stupid either, trust me on that.

I don't need your fucking credit either, thanks, mate.

She did for a very long time on our world. It might be instinctual for her.

You value your friendships enough to consider acknowledging them an insult? That's good. She needs friends like that. [and believe it or not, this is not said with a patronizing tone, he genuinely means that]

Well, you give her a fucking chance.

I value my fucking friends and family more than anything else, don't you fucking worry.

I intend to. It's all a matter if the welcoming committee here is willing to give me a chance.

Sure most of them will, mate, but just know, I've got a fucking bias and I ain't afraid of it.

At least you're very self-aware.

But tell me, the bias comes from your friendship with Miss Parker? What does she think I'm going to do to her?

Re: private

I'm self-aware and not a fucking idiot. Not answering that question. Me saying this has nothing to do with her.

I never implied you were stupid, Mr---?

The point is, knowing that I'm part of Miss Parker's former life and fearing that I'm going to do something that will hurt her are not mutually exclusive. She's said something to you that makes you worried.

Maguire, for your information.

Yeah, well, you don't get to know that shit. End of.
