[ Public speaking is far from Ben's forte, but the good thing about uploading a video like this is that he can do multiple takes. In the frame behind Ben are shelves full of books; he filmed this in that little anteroom of the library that he and Peter had unearthed from the rubble.
He gets right to it; no introductions, no small talk. ]
Can anyone with experience at interpreting maps, handling old and fragile documents, or just anybody who speaks multiple languages please get in contact with me? I found some interesting stuff in the library a while back but I'm not making much progress with it.
[ A pause, and he seems about to terminate the video. Then he adds as an afterthought: ]
Oh, and I guess if anybody is just looking for something good to read to pass the time, I can help out with that. I can check if a particular book is down here, or recommend something.
[ Ben's self-appointed himself as the de facto librarian of the Anchor, because he wants to contribute in some way, and he's always been a bit of a bookworm. ]

[ He's also got just about no clue what the SSV is. A ship? A base? A habitation, or nation even? This is the trouble with meeting people from different times, different worlds. Gotta explain all those pesky acronyms it's so easy to forget about. ]

[ She'd mentioned the year she was from, might as well provide that information for himself, too. And then he gives a little wave, because standing up to shake her hand would seem weird and over-formal and awkward. Maybe waving is awkward, too. He's still working on this normal social interaction and small-talk thing. ]
I've got all the stuff here if you wouldn't mind taking a look...
