'Meat' 'n Greet
The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers. After the revelation that their worlds are gone, many of them are even more eager to see people they knew from home.
Several people are set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings. New crew-mates might see a green-skinned alien and snake girl among their number. There are also several authoritative-looking figures ready to introduce themselves.
There's a lot to tell the new people. It's going to be a lot to take in.
[ooc: Only new characters and Command Staff can start new threads for introductions, to limit the number of threads. Everyone else, just tag in and have your guys greet the newbies.]

It is, however, a little disconcerting to know that he's being recognized by the name he's calling, but Simon supposes it's only like Kaylee to talk about Serenity's crew.
"I'm just trying to find her." He nods, exasperation in his voice. "How many people are on this ship?"
no subject
He's also not entirely sure that he hasn't screwed something up when he catches sight of Simon's face. Oops. Maybe he wasn't supposed to let the other man know he knows his name? Jamie doesn't really see anything wrong with it, but heaven knows he's been taken to task for opening his mouth like that before. Oh well, what's done is done. He'll just have to go ahead and answer the question.
"Awake? There may be about two hundred of us, give or take. It's a big ship, though, and ye may not see anyone for weeks. I have no idea how many people are the pods - or even who, aye? They say it's our loved ones, but...I don't know. Ye are the first person I've seen who Kaylee's mentioned being on the crew." That doesn't seem quite right, somehow, and he frowns for a moment before shrugging. "Others have lots of friends here, so...take it as ye will."
no subject
Two hundred people...that was doable. He can find Kaylee among two hundred, especially if something like this has happened before, which obviously it has, otherwise there wouldn't be two hundred people on the ship. If they're all looking for their friends and loved ones--and Simon can only assume they are--Kaylee would be looking for him, too. At least, he hopes she is.
"Thank you," he blurts, "for answering my questions, I mean. Does...this happen often?"
no subject
At least Simon has someone who can help him with adjusting, and while Jamie hasn't known Kaylee long, he knows she'll be happiest with her crew here. That means she'll be actively looking, and they'll meet up sooner rather than later.
"Och, ye don't have to thank me for that." It's a nice change of pace from him doing all the asking, after all. He strokes his chin thoughtfully for a moment. "I don't know about 'often', but I would say it happens on a fairly regular basis. Stacy's apparently locked into these...I guess ye would call them cycles."
He shrugs. "I think eventually she'll probably be able to repair herself enough that she'll be able to change that, and people will wake up like they're supposed to."

"Her neural net. For a while, she wasna really herself. There was some backup person thing that was her voice." He means backup personality, but Jamie can be a little unclear on words at times. "That's fixed now, but she's still healing. And we're trying to repair her, but it'll take time."
He shrugs briefly. "It could be worse, aye? At least we're no longer being taken to some black market to be sold as slaves."
no subject
For now, anyway.
"The artificial intelligence?" That's what he figures Jaime is referring to. "But you say she's still being repaired. Is there an engineering crew in charge of that?" If he's going to find Kaylee, that is probably the best place for him to start.
no subject
Which actually ties in nicely with Simon's question. Jamie hastens to add, "Billy Cranston. He's one of the co-heads of Engineering. Allen Gentry's the other."
He's a little confused, however, as to why Simon would want to speak to Engineering. "Wait. Aren't ye a doctor? Kaylee said something..." He breaks off, realizing he's done it again. "Och, I'm sorry. She hasna told me everything about ye, I promise. Just that and your sister's named River."
no subject
Kaylee would be wherever the engine is, after all.
Despite the fact that he finds it a bit odd that everyone seems to know him already, he knows that it's just Kaylee being Kaylee. "It's all right. It's...very much like Kaylee to talk about the crew."
no subject
There's an easier way, though, in Jamie's opinion. "Did ye get one of those bitty computers, though? The Omnicoms?" The comm-rings would work as well, but Jamie hasn't bothered trying to figure those out yet. He just makes sure he wears his, just in case. "Ye can leave messages there and other people can leave ye messages back."
They're slightly more complicated than that, but Jamie will go for the simplest explanation whenever possible. Mostly because it's also generally the easiest one for him, personally, to grasp.
Jamie is glad that Simon's not upset, and nods emphatically. "I can't say that I blame her, aye? She's verra fond of all of ye. It's good that she'll have someone she knows here."
