[Video]
[Barabas appears on the video -- fully clothed, thank you -- with a sedate expression, cordial enough. Bright red hair is less styled than he'd prefer it (his kingdom for decent hair product, really) but he still looks sharp, put together. He's set his watch somewhere so that he's in fame, seated at a table, from about the chest up, hands folded in front of him.]
Hello. I've already met some of you, but for those of you I haven't had the pleasure of encountering yet, my name is Barabas. Everyone seems fairly alive, which is better than the alternative. There's a new vacation spot in town, complete with an off-brand Loch Ness Monster. What more could anyone ask for?
[He spreads his hands.]
As... charming... as this place is, there is a disturbing lack of information infrastructure. Even Astoria doesn't quite seem to be able to keep track of who is coming and going at all times -- since the last bunch of us were apparently unexpected guests. I don't exactly find that reassuring. It does not make me feel warm and fuzzy.
[At all.]
In that vein, I think we should address this, put in place some way to keep track of who is here, who is no longer here, the abilities we each possess. [He ticks these items off on his fingers.] And a collection of information of the places that Astoria has sent us, and the general outcome of each trip. And really any other useful things to know, for all of us, and those who may be brought here in the future.
[A smile now, no teeth, but still pleasant.] Sadly, I'm only one man, so I suppose what I'm looking for is twofold:
First, would anyone be willing to help gather and compile this data?
Second, those of you who've been here longer than I have, perhaps we can chat about your experiences.

[The career military man is suitably impressed.]

[ repeated, his eyes bright with amusement. ]
Surprised?
[ you wouldn't be the only one to assume otherwise. roy is hardly offended. ]

[Though given Roy's conduct in the field, Wash wouldn't be surprised if it was a battlefield promotion.]
Still, that's pretty great.

I’m the youngest commanding officer in the Amestrian military.
[ it’s not boasting, but it’s a simple fact. ]
So it isn’t the first time I’ve heard that.
