[The man on your video screen is wearing a tux. He's not James Bond though.

In fact he's a writer from New York City, who was on his way to get married (for the third time) when he blacked out while driving and woke up in a pod. It was by far the oddest experience he's ever had, and Richard Castle has had many odd experiences. At first he thought he was in some kind of government facility, that the SUV with the black out windows that had been tailing him had put him here where some kind of weird experiments happened. Waking up in a pod in your boxers is enough to throw anyone. He'd put on the clothes he'd been wearing, found in the footlocker next to the pod and managed to locate the rest of his stuff. His cell phone was deader than dead, of course, so he couldn't call Kate. It seemed, other than the creepy pods filled with what looked to be people, nobody was around keeping him in one place. He wasn't a prisoner, so he decided to explore.

Stepping out of the hatch, he observed a completely different world. It was not New York. It was possibly not even Earth.]


Uh. I take it this isn't the Hamptons?

[What the hell has he gotten himself into now?]

Yeah, we're tryin' to get her back up and runnin' to get everyone home.

[Most of them, anyway. But that wasn't the point here. She never brought it up to people who didn't know, if she could help it.]

Font bit's news to me, but the rest of that's right. We ain't sure what it is that makes folk wake up. Still a lot we don't know 'bout Salvation yet.

No. It is not.

What - why are you talking like that -

[Luke had recognized her from Mayfield, but her impression had been that these 'other versions' of people were supposed to be similar.]

You're . . . not him. Did you just arrive?

Yeah.

Take a look up, once the sun goes down. The Manhattan-sized spaceship could just be a movie set, but we can't fake the sky.

[There is a lizardish face. And it is twisted into something that is probably a smile. Oh, this is an exciting development! Clearly not the same person but... humans always look similar to him, but not that similar.]

Fascinating.

Damn. Ouch [is Kaidan's opinion on pre-wedding dimension hops, one hand rubbing at his neck in some form of somatic sympathy.]

Ah... well, the good news is that once we get Salvation patched up, we can probably get you back on the road with no time lost. The bad news is that you're probably going to assume I'm insane or you are when I tell you where you are now.

So, uh, do you read much science fiction at all?

[Guess who's not fond of Mal? This girl. She blinks at the camera for a second...]

No, Wokling. Didja hit your head or something? Still Verdana...

[Oh...well...this guy looks like he came from a Caprican ball. She doesn't recognize him, or the name Hamptons, but...since she's on a break from fixing her ship, Sharon pipes up cheerfully.]

No, it's Verdana. A whole new planet. You okay? No bumps or bruises or anything I hope?

Trust me, it's a point in your favor.

Did she tell you where you are?

[She rolls her eyes.]

Not being him.

"Not Earth" is a good start. Prepare yourself to be here for a while.

[Eyebrow raised.]

You don't know who I am. [...but Mal sure as hell did. She'd definitely messed with him more than a little when he arrived.]

What's your name? And what planet were you on last?

She don't work like any ship I'd ever seen before. She goes to different dimensions. Ought to be able to get everyone back to the right time and place 'cause of it.

Once she's flyin' again, anyway.

Other planet. Surprised others haven't explained.

Would have to ask Salvation about timing. Sounds most [sniff] unfortunate.

Congratulations, then. [Says the space marine, with a crook of his mouth.] You're living in it now. The ship you're on is named Salvation. She's around the size of Manhattan, give or take a few hundred metres, and she was created to try and stop the spread of rifts between realities.

She was also programmed to retrieve and heal up any poor bastards that were unlucky enough to fall through one.

[The swept hand he gestures with is normally part of a bow, but serves well enough to include both himself and Castle in the category of poor bastard.
