[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?]

Sorry. There's a lot of pods down there though.

Species designation, yes. Appear to be less common in multiverse than humans.

[Which he was going to figure out yet!]

Was stationed on human vessel.

That last bit describes just about everyone here, Rick. But she doesn't sound like one of the other offworlders like us. Unless that's a nickname for Sif.

Novels, huh?

[Cool.]

If you woke up in the pod, you have a guaranteed ride out of here when they get Salvation back online. Me? I don't.

Could be. Ain't unheard of to have more than one person from the same place on the ship.

Well... that's good. [With a brief stab at humour, as well as further explanation, Kaidan explains.] We have a couple aliens here, and while they're still going to exist whether or not you believe in them, it's a little awkward when people don't.

As for the insane... well, maybe. But I've been here for over a year and I'm pretty sure this is more than just head trauma or psychosis can explain.

[It might, he hasn't quite been able to reassure himself out of wondering, be Indoctrination. If it is, he's screwed regardless.]

We don't know how to wake anyone up. We don't even know why we woke up, or why people sometimes . . . go back.

Right now, the best thing you can do is go to the city and find a place to sleep before curfew.

It's controlled by an AI, so yeah. It does.

Yeah, I do. Have you published many?

Yes. I crashed here after my navicomp went nuts.

Less musical. And less homicidal. That's probably the more important part.

[He shrugs, as though dismissing any possibility that the resident AI might become murderous.]

Name's Tony Stark. And I'm not an AI, in case you were wondering.
