[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?]

Not that seamlessly. The projection tech isn't there yet.

[He considers the name a moment, then shrugs.]

Doesn't ring a bell. Friend of yours?

Always happy to help advancement of knowledge.

[He's just going to go ahead an answer the inevitable next question.]

Salarian. Have explanatory pamphlet available if desired.

If she's here, she hasn't woken up yet. Or she's going by a different name.

[She grimaces slightly because a. it's bad news and b. it still sounds crazy to her and she's been living it for half a year]

Something bad happened to our . . . home realities, and this ship rescued us. As you can probably tell, it crashed.

Either you came in on Salvation or you crashlanded like I did. And I'm going to assume you woke up in a pod, with that reaction.

Another Earthling. Okay, cool. Heya, Rick. I'm Kerra. Kerra Holt.

You hurt? Or okay?

I'm sorry.

They may still be on board. The ship is still undergoing repairs, and the AI is having difficulty locating or identifying individuals still in stasis.

I don't...think I've ever seen that one, sir. But if you came in on a pod you're better off than me. I'm stuck here till I get my ship operational again.

[She chuckles mildly. She knew what movies were, of course. They had them back on Caprica.]

I'm Lieutenant Sharon Agathon, from the Battlestar Galactica, Colonial Fleet Command. What about you?

Salvation -- ah, the ship's got an AI, by the way -- would probably say that's a gross oversimplification and largely incorrect. But that's how my puny human brain wraps around all this.

[Kaidan rubs at one temple for a moment, as if chasing away a threatening headache.]

She crashed into this planet a good century back or so, roughly. A little over a year ago, the pods started waking some of us up, and people like me have been running repairs ever since, so we can all go home.

I can't say I've heard the name.

[Kerra's voice softens a bit.]

What's she look like?

You mean besides looking at the whole quarter million of them individually? You could ask Salvation, if she's feeling chatty. But she's a little touchy about divulging who is and isn't still asleep.
