[You might recognize the stiff boy in a priest's uniform--or, you might not. He was only around briefly before. Anyway, he doesn't recognize any of you, thanks to the strange properties from the Barge, so you're going to get his awkward, stilted introduction...again. Wherever he's sitting, he's near a window--you can see space slowly sailing behind him in the background.]

Hi. Um, my name is Brother Joshua Christopher, and I'm a new Warden here on the Barge. It's nice to meet you all. Back home I work for an organization called the Magdalen Order which is where the uniform comes from. You can call me Brother Joshua, or just Joshua. Whatever you prefer.

I'm--well, we don't exactly have technology like this where I'm from, so, uh, if I'm a little clumsy with it at first I apologize.

[He pauses, drumming his fingers against his seat.]

Uh. I guess that's it? [He frowns.] Actually, I'm curious, what are your worlds like? Do you have stuff like this device or...well...[he gestures behind him to the window] this boat there? [He rubs his shoulder, staring out at space.] Back home, this sort of thing would only be in a book or a film or something.

Man, we're just being flooded with newbies. I'm beginning to think we all need copies of Chromie's pamphlet to hand out on us at all times.

Ah well, welcome! I'm Megamind, a warden of the ship. Welcome aboard.

[unapostled]

Thanks. [He grins.] It's nice to meet you, Megamind. There's pamphlets, huh?

[megamind]

Yeah, Chromie makes them.

[unapostled]

About the Barge? Jake, where could I find 'em?

[megamind]

The library! [ And he sends over a little map-file! ]

[unapostled]

Oh, perfect! That's the same floor as my room. Thank you!

[megamind]

Not at all.

I'm Megamind -- let me know if you need any help, alright?

[unapostled]

Yeah, I will! But I'm sure I'll be fine.

[megamind]

[ Oh you sweet, summer child ]

Yes, I'm sure you'll eventually have questions, though. Feel free to ask as needed.

[Joshua didn't get where he is today without startling naivete and a tendency to not think through the consequences of his actions!]

Ab-so-lute-ly! I promise.
