[ 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.

Elizabeth is... pretty biased, too, yeah. Maybe that's just leader's prerogative. Everyone at the top shows up for the PTA meetings with other leaders, holding their kids' straight-A report cards and a pocketful of appreciation. ]
I'm glad you've been able to. [ None of them are so bad off that they couldn't use more friends. ] And I hope we do. I'll be representing you and yours as much as I represent anyone else. As interesting as sitting in an office making wild guesses about what everyone needs sounds, I'd rather try and keep as many people in the loop as I can.
[ She's seen enough of the former in government for a lifetime. ]

Instead he's more of a proud leader than anything else. Yes, if he did report cards on his people they'd all have straight A's, and he might even frame them. Or stick them to the walls of the Enterprise with little delta insignia magnets because he can. ]
Prefer a more involved approach, hm? [ He tips his head. ] You're always welcome to come by the Perimeter Guard, of course. It's easier if you're ever wondering about our conditions or if we might need anything in particular.
