[ There's a moment of dead air first. Very brief, just long enough for a breath (a hesitation, possibly, it's all relative). Then: ]
Riverview Quarantine, this is Dr. Elizabeth Weir speaking. Now, you might be thinking that you don't know me. [ Her tone warms. ] Don't worry; the feeling's mutual. Since I've been very generously offered the position of public representative to the government of Riverview, making some introductions felt pretty prudent.
[ There's the slightest bit of emphasis on generously: not quite sarcastic, not entirely sincere. She pauses briefly. ]
I'll be honest and say I really don't plan on being in this city long-term. If they make the right calibrations to send me home, I'm gonna take that opportunity. But for however long I am here? My job is to make sure we're all heard and that our needs are met. I'll be representing all of you. And I don't intend to take that responsibility lightly.
So, you can-- consider my door open. [ Elizabeth seems pretty optimistic about that, at least? ] Unless the paperwork was misleading, that should be half the point of the job.

If I can play my cards right, you won't have to. Well. Not after the installation. That's gonna be a disruption no matter how you slice it. [ She's not going to bother with the 'oh that could be' rhetoric. Like, she negotiated treaties about nuclear weapons proliferation and stuff. If she can't manage to get carpet put on stairs, why is she in this job at all. Confidence is the key. ]

Credit where credit is due. It's not a go to I've heard anyone else use before.
