"Hello, Starmourn sector!"

[A bright cheerful voice speaks from off-camera. The view pans up a heavily tattooed lilac-skinned leg and pulls back to show The Voidwitch sprawled on the captains chair on the bridge of a starship. Light glints off her glass white eyes as she smiles and continues.]
"It's that time!" [Poet claps her hands together, sitting up and leaning towards the camera.]
"Our lounge contest is over. I enlisted Morgan to help me judge, and without further ado, here are the winners."

"In first place, and taking home the 500 credit top prize." [She pauses dramatically.]
"NIKO, with 'The Hangar On Bar'. Whee!" [She swats at the camera drone and it spins wildly before stabilizing and sliding back out of reach.]
"Our four runners up, in no particular order are... Afesotinuilar, Holgorath, Nathaniel and Marcella, and Sabika. Each wins 150 credits." "Bringing up the back of the pack were Bugbo, Shulamit, and Zarrach. And ya know what, I'm going to throw some credits at you lot as well, out of my personal stash. 25 each, hrm?" [She nods at the camera, which begins a slow circle around her.]
"Many of the entries had items we think would be great in the finished lounge and with Niko's permission," [Poet pauses to bat her eyes at the drone.] "We will see about adding in the more interesting bits into the finished space."

"That's it. As you were. Carry on." [Poet aims a finger as the drone and a ray of frost destroys the camera, which dissolves into static before cutting off.]
