You make it into the hall and join a crowd of roughly 20 people. The captain is standing in front of them while leaning his hands against a small wooden podium. He is wearing an old fashioned uniform that would be recognised as a cross between a WW1 French army uniform and an Orchestra Conductor's formal wear.

"This is your briefing," Captain Bert speaks to the crowd, looking over it with enthusiasm and speaking boldly "We are going to be heading to the Andromeda Galaxy, with the heading of finding a strange, unique, creature. It is called, an Uulish. No-one has ever described one before and I plan that this expedition will mark us down in history as some of the only people in the universe to have ever seen one. There will be dangers, as we will be acting outside of the local law of certain civilisations. There will be no room for dishonesty or treachery, no room for theft or the killing of comrades, no room for any people who do not uphold our morals. I do not care of your background, only what you do for this ship, and it's mission. I am Captain Albert Wesley, this is my First Officer Gregory Halving and this is the Quartermaster: Mister Tobaks. I hope you all find yourselves comfortable here and en route. This mission has an unspecified time of return. Now, as first order: Get to work on your shifts and duties. We head off now! Dismissed." He says, lifting his hands into the air with bent elbows.

You found yourself murmuring along the lines of the speech towards the end, apart from very specific personal details it was the same as the story extract you read. You can tell it has influenced his life a lot and that he has a flair for the dramatic. Your first shift starts in two hours.
