The Past Is Prologue
Back when the first few crew members woke up, they were trapped in a rather limited are of the ship. They quickly realized that if they wanted to get out of there, they were going to need to work together, and someone was going to have to take charge. At that point, the first elections were held, and Cybil Bennett was elected the first Captain of the ship.
Slowly, the crew expanded, and as they grew and opened up more areas of the ship, a more sophisticated Command structure began to emerge. Eventually, Captain Bennett stepped down, and a new Captain was voted into place. An individual who, thanks to the manipulations of this ship, some of us can only vaguely remember him as 'That Guy Who Punched A Raptor.' But the legacy he and his successor left behind, namely leading us to get rid of the space pirates that controlled this ship, and leading the crew through the Nightmare King, helped us get to where we are today.
Beyond that, once we all realized that we wouldn't be returning to our homes any tine soon, they helped lay the foundation for what eventually became the ships constitution. And as per that constitution, its now time for new leaders need to be elected.
To the crew, you all get to decide which direction the ship goes next. This is a tremendous responsibility, one that I hope you all take seriously. The nominees will make themselves known to you over the next few days. Be sure to take a close look at them, as all of our lives will be in their hands. Know who and what you're voting for, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask someone.
To the nominees, best of luck to you all. I look forward to spirited campaigning, but try to keep it clean.
In two weeks time, we all vote. May the best people win, because that's who we need.
