In any new situation, it's important to know what to expect, from the setting, from the people already in it, from yourself. Aaron isn't typically one to attend welcome dinners unless it's required, but while they were informed this one would be optional, it was anything but. He pays careful attention to the whispered conversations, though is also attentive of peoples' expressions and hastens to find an empty seat once hie's worn out his eavesdropping welcome.
On his way, he does grab a plate and pile it high with turkey (though he could have done without learning it wasn't really meat), dressing, mashed potatoes, sauteed squash, and some strange slightly mealy and very blue sauce, before having a seat. He'll be making the most of this meeting/party, though, and nods a greeting if he happens to be near someone else.

I know we all attended a welcome banquet, but I doubt we all had a chance to meet each other. I'm sure the situation here is far from ideal, but we are all trapped here for the foreseeable future, and that means we all need to work together.

I think a good place to start is with who we were before. It...worked for a woman I respected, and for the community she built and I think it'll work now. I don't think our life stories are necessary, but this is really just a starter circle anyway.
[Another pause, this one a bit shorter.]
I'll get us started. My name is Aaron and I used to work with a NGO, that's a Non-Governmental Organization. I was responsible for negotiating the distribution of clean drinking water to areas of the Niger River Delta and some areas of Liberia. I'm good at reading people, at organizing projects, and I can pick up on new skills pretty quickly. I'm also pretty good with my hands. I'm used to managing my own projects, but I'm...not really upper leadership material, but I look forward to hearing from the rest of you.
