Hello. My name is Alex.

[And I am not afraid of you. Not said, but implicit in his voice if you know him, if you know what to look for. Not many people do.]

[He doesn't give his designation, 605. Other days he has. The fact that he doesn't provide this information is also an indication as to his mood - if you know to look for it.]


I'll be teaching close-combat fighting techniques this evening on deck, starting at 5 PM. This is in case any of you don't know how to fight something better than human. [Not arrogance: simple face. He isn't proud, he's just being accurate.]

[He hesitates, then, for an infinitesimal moment, before continuing, his tone unchanged, starched, pressed, unafraid, and something else:]


Those of you who are new, or out of practice, or have been recently injured are especially welcome. It's important to stay sharp.

[A warning. Half a threat.]

It's a responsibility to be prepared.

[Because if there's one weak link among them, they'll all come crashing down at the next calamity. Alex doesn't think he could withstand one more disaster.]

[But of course he could. That's what he was made for.]

I . . . guess you will.

[He barely catches the figure of speech quickly enough to return it and doesn't possess the good humor to volley it back. Instead, he just hangs up. He will, however, be on deck precisely when he said he'd be.]
