[ Dan's had the chance to settle in a little and wander around the Barge a bit, at least so far as to check out the gym on his floor and the kitchen. He's got a few appointments, apparently, that he's got to make, but he'll throw out a broadcast while he's got some free time.
He's in his room, and one can see a wide collection of books on a shelf just off to the side of the camera, brass bookends shaped like watchful owls peering off into the distance. ]
Hey out there. For those of you that didn't see me come in, my name's Daniel Dreiberg - Dan, if you want.
Anyway, I've heard about the uh... recent 'flood', and I understand a good many of you have been reduced to a size that makes getting around kind of a hassle.
I'm sure there have been plenty of people out there already offering, but I'm putting myself out there too. If you need a little help while this is going on, I've got a little time to spare and a Barge to keep familiarizing myself with.
So um. If you need a hand, or a taxi [ A quick little grin, self-depreciative humor and good intentions. ] I'd be happy to help you out, just let me know when, where, and what.
No charge or anything, of course.
Well, that it... Hang in there.

Though I am uncertain as to what a 'taxi' may offer in terms of assistance, I am sure those who require aid would be most appreciative.

So he's surprised, but he doesn't do more than blink and hesitate for a second before he's smiling, almost sheepishly. ]
I figured I'm not doing anything at the moment, so I might as well try to help out where I can.
A taxi is a form of transportation, where I'm from. You know what a car is? An automobile? If you do, it's just a car that drivers hire out to strangers, so they can get around without walking or taking other public transportation, where there's a lot more people. It's the most private way of getting around quick.
The word taxi actually comes from the Latin word taxe, which means a charge or fare.
Which, actually, makes my using it a really poor choice of word, seeing as I'm doing this for free.

I am familiar with the concept of automobiles, yes.
You are correct; if that is the very definition of a taxi, then it would be inaccurate to describe your service as such if you are choosing to offer assistance without fare.

I have been making several attempts to determine the exact reason behind who and how strongly each individual aboard are affected. To date, it appears to be the result of a highly randomized algorithm that modifies itself with each Flood.
