[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?]

Things are bad out there.

Good.

[Luke holds his not giving in face for a moment but gradually it softens and he sighs.]

Tell you what. I know settling in around here takes a while but when you feel like you need a break from everything just come and find me. I'll give you a couple lessons.

[He knows that Castle would never have the reflexes to handle a lightsaber properly but he'll keep the blade at a low power setting and let him swing it around to de-stress. Everyone could use that around here.]

Her.

[It's important information. Most women don't appreciate that confusion.]

Owns accomodations. Best current option for newcomers.

Probably not animals. I don't think that the . . . things have come close to the city for a while.

The locals really don't trust outsiders right now, and you're going to look new. If the Authorities stop you, cooperate with them. If anyone else tries to stop you, keep your head down and keep going.

There's currently a planetary defense satellite grid that we really need to deal with before I'd recommend taking anything extra-atmospheric. Legacy of the war, I guess. [Which reminds him, he really needs to track down what happened to that one satellite that crashed... Kaidan's expression goes absent for a moment as he pursues this line of thought before returning to conversation.]

But the way we leave is by getting Salvation repaired, which has been a bit of an, uh, ongoing project for me and a few others over the last year or so.

Uh...

[Yeah, about that]

Over a year. There's usually only about three of us, and she's the size of a city.

[Luke doesn't miss Castle's carefully controlled response and he smirks.]

Oh! Uh, yeah, she's usually out at Callahan's. It's her cafe-slash-office. It has its own building in the center of town but if you need help finding it I'll be on duty around that area in a couple hours.

Correct. Previous communal accommodations no longer available.

[This is really unsettling. Mal would probably have belittled her or called her names three times by now.]

Of course. You're going to be all right, it's a road we've all walked. Just be careful.

[If it helps, getting mugged is probably the least of your worries.]

I know. I'm sorry this happened to you.
