I've sailed frequently, and I've seen wonders at sea, but none of them prepared me for...this. Traveling among the stars is so far outside the realms of what I thought possible...but, I suppose that all knowledge is worth having. How is this done?
Ah - forgive me, my lords and ladies. My name is Imriel nó Montrève [there's a short pause, and then he adds, very slowly,] de la Courcel.

As it should be, my lady.
