Claudia gives a sharp nod.  "Aye, captain."  She frowns, her brow furrowing lightly with concern as she glances as the navigator, noting his distress.  She offers a tiny smile of encouragement, her pale blue eyes alight, as the others go about their business, with all apparently well.<br/><br/>Turning to her comm station, Claudia grimaces.  Normally, she would choose to wear the robes of her office, loose flowing garments of green, white, or red, elegant but comfortable.  With the disturbances from the warp, though, practical considerations took hold.  As such, she wore her carapace armor , green and in the Cadian style; as comfortable as it was designed to be, it was still unfamiliar bulk.  Effort had been made to make it look reasonably stylish, and it still showed her fine figure, but...<em>I wasn't a soldier, before this.  I was a thief.</em>At least she wasn't wearing the helmet, her long blonde hair allowed to drop down over her shoulder in its familiar braid.  Claudia rolls one armored shoulder uncomfortably before engaging the comm controls.<br/><br/>Leaning forward, she speaks into the pickup, her voice soft, calm, reassuring.  Just as she'd practiced hundreds of times.  "Welcome, shipmates.  Through the grace and glory of the Emperor, we have arrived.  Glory, adventure, and riches await."  She allows a touch of excitement to enter her voice at that bit.  "On duty crewmen trained in Auger Array operation, please report immediately."<br/><br/>She hesitates a moment, licking her lips before continuing.  Maintaining crew morale fell partly under her responsibilities, although that was shared with the clergy, of course.  "As a reminder, in uncharted space, we maintain a high alert status.  If you see anyone exhibiting unusual behavior, make sure they see a doctor or a chaplain immediately."  Unless, of course, they had already progressed to the cannibalism stage.  Claudia winces at the internal non-joke as she kills the comm.<br/><br/>With that done, Claudia turns smartly, facing her captain once more, her pale, delicately featured face politely inquisitive.  "Shall I oversee its operation, sir?"  She asks, her voice still soft and smooth.
