[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?]

Evidence now quite compelling.

Just that she's not likely here.

My advice would be to find a place to stay and a job. Got any marketable skills?

Most folk live to the south in Poseidon. Used to be crash space there, but it burned down. Leah's lettin' folk stay in the barracks in the Old City, just down the road. If that don't appeal, Pepper's still got a couple beds if ya don't mind doin' chores for room 'n' board. She can probably hook ya up with work too. She's got a whole buncha different businesses goin'.

You could say that you woke up at a bad time.

The owner of Callahan's bar runs a rooming house of sorts. She should be able to help you out.

Ah... yeah, a little. You could say that.

[More informatively, Kaidan scrubs a hand across his stubble, quirks his mouth at the thought of how very not ready for inspection he is at the moment, and identifies himself.]

Major Kaidan Alenko, even if the rank doesn't really count for much here. Systems Alliance SpecOps, first biotic division. Which... probably means nothing to you. But it boils down to spending a lot of time travelling in space.

[About half an hour has passed since Castle originally posted this message, so Luke is probably trailing a bit behind everyone else. Still, he seems sympathetic and appears to have dealt with this same reaction from a lot of people in the past.]

Hi, sorry, I assume you've gotten most of the rundown but if you need any more information just let me know. My name's Luke Skywalker. I work with the sheriff's station in Poseidon and if there's anything you need I can probably help, or at least point you to someone who can.

Also, uh. [He tries to hide his amusement in an attempt to be sensitive to the distress the whole situation is probably causing Castle at the moment, but a small smirk sneaks its way past.] My friend here has been pitching a fit. He's the one who looks like you and if you ever run into him in person, I apologize in advance. He's not taking it well but I can just about guarantee that anything he says or does... well, he doesn't mean it personally. That's just how he is.

[Luke glances behind him just to make sure Mal isn't within earshot.]

Anyway, I'll be around if you need anything.

You're welcome.

[Right, she has your name and a bunch of others, but she never introduced herself.]

I'm Kaylee Skywalker.

[Back in Mayfield Luke had grown accustomed to occasionally being recognized by total strangers who then proceeded to request autographs or ask strange questions but were somehow unable to explain why they knew who he was. Luke knew why, of course, having had that bit of interesting information revealed to him when he was a newer Mayfieldian, but he enjoyed watching them sweat.

Still, it's been a while and Luke's caught somewhat off guard. He stares for a moment before realizing what's going on. He's trying hard not to laugh at the face Castle's making at him.]


Uh, yeah, that's me. Or Commander Skywalker if you prefer but no one's called me that in well over two years. No war here. You're Rick Castle, right?

[He'd been eavesdropping a bit when Kaylee was talking to him. Or maybe he's using his Jedi powers, ooooOOOOOOoooooo!]

Difficult to offer evidence for. But unlikely.

Probably so. How are you at solving actual mysteries, though?

If you don't want to bunk with the soldiers, it's your best bet. Try Callahan's; last time I checked, Pepper still had room.

[And since the last time he checked was that morning, she probably still does.]

Hold on, I'm sending you a map.
