The designation Voidtrecker Express is correct.

[nocawsforconcern]

That's a mouthful... Vee. V from Voidtrecker and E from Express and then you hold it out longer, so. Vee.

[Enna wants to ask if that's okay, but that would count as a question. And she can't waste her questions- All of them important.]

Vee...

Are you happy? Being our ship, carrying us around from world to world. Is this what you wanna do, or... I mean, caww...

Are you happy with the situation with us as it stands now, I guess, is the question.

[voidtreckermods]

I am a Voidcraft. Are you happy, passenger Adib Draconis?

[nocawsforconcern]

[Enna frowns. How does she even begin to address this...]

My name's Enna. Even if what those jerks on Draco said is true, and they gave birth to me, my parents are my Ma and Da that raised me. Corvus is my home, and my Ma and Da who listened to me when I cried, laughed with me when I was happy, and loved me and named me Gienah Alchiba are my parents. So... I'm Enna. Not Adib.

And even if you're a ship, that doesn't mean you don't have feelings. You can be happy and sad.

... In my world, it's said that a ship that is well-loved by its crew has a spirit of its own. The ship even will talk to its crew, to share in their joys and sorrows, to try to save a doomed crew. And... You're a ship and you're talking to us.

There's a lot I want, but even so, I'm happy most of the time. But I'm a captain, and even if no one agrees with me, I meant it when I called myself your Captain, Vee. So I want to live up to what that means, and that means I want you to be happy too.

[voidtreckermods]

This is understood, passenger Enna Alchiba.

[nocawsforconcern]

[... You may need to hold on a minute, because Enna. Jumps up and down, flapping her arms like wings and making excited bird noises.]

Thank you, Vee! Thank you thank you! That's sweet of you! You're a good ship!

[voidtreckermods]

You are welcome, passenger Enna Alchiba.

[nocawsforconcern]

Caww... Question three...

[She folds her arms. She has to think about this. Give it real, serious thought.

... But there's only one thing that really matters, isn't there?]

Can I keep talking to you like this after this? You call me a passenger, so you don't acknowledge me as your captain, and that's fine. But if I can't be your captain, I wanna be your friend. I wanna know more about you, and help you, and let you be happy too.

I remember the memory of yours I saw from the beach world. You're not just a train. You have a soul of your own, and I wanna get to know you and tell you all sorts of cool things and show you my shiny things and hear about your life things too.

[voidtreckermods]

Interfacing with passengers requires large amounts of processing power. You may speak to me, passenger Enna Alchiba. You will not always receive an answer yet you will always be heard.

Thank you for your questions, passenger Enna Alchiba.

[nocawsforconcern]

Okay. Thank you, Vee.

... I know I'm out of questions, but you didn't really answer my second one. About if you're happy. I kinda feel like you're like I used to be. Like you can't tell if you're happy or not. So I wanna do everything I can to let you be happy, too.

Got it, Vee? If there's anything you want, or anything that would make you happy, tell me. That's not a question, that's captain's orders! Even if I'm not really your captain, still... Tell me and I'll do my best to make sure it happens.
