[One very irritated man stalks down the halls, Cambot dutifully following behind. The man stops and whirls around.]

Oi! For the last time, stop following me! You're really starting to...

...to...

[He pokes Cambot...] You're a camera? Huh... Agnes is getting fancy, is she? [He takes off his hat and uses it to cover Cambot's lens.]

There, that's more like it.

[...and, after a few moments, the hat's off the lens and back on his head.]

Geez... [He taps a band on his wrist.] Anyone gonna bother telling me what this is all about?

HI!!! Oh my gosh, you're here JUST IN TIME! This is the Satellite of Love and it's almost Hearth's Warming Eve or Christmas or whatever you wanna call it because I mean either way it's pretty much the BEST HOLIDAY EVER so I'm making cookies for everyone to celebrate and it's gonna be totally great~! Oh, but you're new, so that means you have to have a cupcake first!

[Insert the required "wtfwhyisthereapinktalkingpony" reaction face here.]

Eh? Why a cupcake?

Because you're new, duh! EVERY new person gets a Pinkie Pie Welcome Cupcake, and all the new robots too! You're not a robot, though, so you can TOTALLY eat yours this time.

Well, obviously. Silly me. [A nervous chuckle... He really, really wishes he could say that he's seen stranger, but... well, this is new. Can't help a tiny shudder at the robot comment, either.] Yeah, good thing. How the heck did you make this, anyway?

Welcome to the Satellite of Love. Cambot can probably show you around, that's the camera you're talking to, but otherwise you're stuck here with the rest of us.

Satellite...?

...

Ah! Some kind of publicity stunt, eh? Warnings are nice on these things, you know.

Publicity stunt? No, I don't think so. I mean, what would they be doing something like that for? We're not publicizing anything.

Beats me. They've pulled stranger stunts before.

So, what is this, exactly, then? Special training?

Uhm, well, it's an experiment apparently. I guess to see what happens to us when we have to read these bad books or something. I haven't been called to be in the experiment room yet, so someone else can probably explain it better.

What do bad books have to do with anything, huh? [Siiiigh.]

I really don't know.

I'm afraid you're stuck here.

Eh? Why? And, while we're at it, where?

No one really knows how to go back home. Ah, and it's called the Satellite of Love.

There's always a way out.

...ah... we're in space...?

What about for those people who don't come from this world?

Aliens?

Would you call me an alien?

[Oh hey, look, someone who isn't a strange talking animal or a kid. Maes is so happy we are increasing the adult population on board]

Well, we've only managed to figure parts of that out. You're on the Satellite of Love, though no one knows how, and right now we're being included in experiment rotation to read badly written literature and entertain ourselves up here while some guys down below work on new ways to irritate us and generally bring down our spirits. [sighs] So far, it...hasn't really worked out for them, but they ARE trying I suppose.

[Maes pulls out a note pad, apparently going over someone and trying to figure out what else to tell this guy] In the meantime we're pretty much stuck up here and we're free to do anything we want. There are several decks and a few of the bots are helpful, mostly Cambot, the one you're broadcasting with, and Gypsy, who pretty much runs the ship. Tom Servo and Crow are...well...they're entertaining, but not much help with basic ship functions. Mike's also helpful and a pretty good guy, but the rest of us on board are fairly new around here, or at least, the newest of the crew since some of the people up here have been here for several weeks now.

[Flips the notepad shut] And, that pretty much covers the basics of what this is all about. It's...going to be a lot to take in, trust me.

[Holy crap, info dump! Give him a sec to process this...]

[Realizes this and smiles slightly]

Ah, sorry, that was a bit much wasn't it? Why don't I just start with an introduction? I'm Maes Hughes, at your service. [salute]

Huh? O-oh. Kotetsu T. Kaburagi. Nice to meet you. ...I think. So... what's this all about experiments now?

Great to meet you too.

Let's see if I can explain this a little better. They're not very GOOD experiments mind you, but I believe the motive behind it was to originally put Mike through hell by forcing him to watch bad movies and the like. Unfortunately, something happened several weeks ago and various other people ended up dragged onto the SoL as well. And, now, the Mad Scientists down on Earth plan on just keeping up the experiment but including us in it as well.

That's kinda stupid...

And everyone puts up with it 'cos there's no way out, right?

Like I said, they aren't GOOD experiments. Really the premise is ridiculous enough that at this point I just go with it.

And, yeah, also because of that. We're in the middle of space after all and the transports off this thing aren't working like they should.
