[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?]

[She shakes her head]

Place called Mayfield. 'Verse is stranger than we ever reckoned. This ain't the only place that grabs folk from all over.

[So far this has been Luke's favorite reaction from a "fan". Oh, he's totally going to tell Wes all about this later. He laughs incredulously and raises his eyebrows at Castle's request. Yeah, that's definitely a new one.]

No. Sorry. [Then he furrows his brows in confusion.] What would you want with a lightsaber anyway?

[Luke doesn't see things from your viewpoint of 'oooooo cool toy!' Lightsabers are dangerous weapons!]

Yeah, it's been a crazy few years for us. This place ain't as bad as Mayfield.

Local infrastructure considerably improved since temporal disruption. Hospital primitive but effective. But medical personnel always useful.

[Murder mystery writer... he's dabbled in pulps, but it's still pretty far from his expertise.]

Potts will find use.

Then you'd wanna talk to either my flatmate Mulan, or Skywalker. I'm not in law enforcement.

But if you do find a publishing job or a copy of your book? Definitely let me know. I love good mystery stories.

Certainly, my name is Inara. I . . . don't normally greet newcomers by yelling at them, my apologies.

Do not be afraid [Kaidan's delivery is deadpan-robotic in the way that says cult classic sci-fi tropes survive even in the very sci-fi future.] I come from the future with a message of universal peace... or at least I will once we take care of the little galactic war I really need to get back to fighting. [His delivery's snapped back to a wryly joking normal on the other side of the ellipsis.]

Most of us are from some version of Earth, or have heard of it, I'd say. But yeah, there's others where they're so far future that Earth's been abandoned, or there are realities that have never heard of it. I'm... not actually sure which class Verdana fits into. It was part of an interstellar civilization, but that's crumbled -- just Verdana now, and maybe the sister planet they were fighting with, but there's no contact one way or another there.

Good, good.

'Bout the only thing to do is hope she fell in with good folk, if that's the case. That's how we got through Mayfield. What we do here too.

. . . You could say that.

Be careful on your way into town.

[Here we go. Luke sighs and can't help but put on his 'suddenly authoritative' face.]

Am I going to have to give you the a lightsaber is a dangerous weapon used only by a Jedi Knight speech?
