[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?]

I should be thanking you for keeping me out of these ledgers for a few minutes.

More established ship people in private accomodations. Potts bridging gap. Several dozen awake from ship, exact number fluctuates.

[Kaylee shakes her head]

She ain't from here. Crashed 'bout a century back and the locals are just as confused as the rest of us.

[Luke nods and sighs wearily as if he knows all about said various things.]

We've been facing some restless civilians, riots, angry drunks, mostly with political motivations. In broad daylight you should be alright but I can contact someone to bring you a transport if you'd like. Someone working on the ship today might have one, too, but if you're armed I wouldn't worry about it too much.

[Of course, to normal people this would be scary stuff but Luke's been fighting bone creatures and sea monsters and he just finds this stuff more annoying than anything else.]

I know I should be pushing myself to improve, but it's all bad news and worse penmanship.

[Sorry Neville, but it's true.]

Not specific phrase. Many comments on speech though.

Try 'advanced'. Think like, uh...

[Kaidan trails off, trying to ratchet back across nearly two centuries to find a reference that should work. Inspiration dawns palpably, as he thinks back to Classic Movie Night and comes up with something roughly in the right era.]

Think like the Wright brothers being handed an F-14 Tomcat and being told to get it running. Then multiply that by a hundred.

[Bless you, Top Gun.]

Screwed? Oh, hell no.

[Kaidan looks sheepish for a moment as his attemts at realize have instead gone too far the other way, and without his crewmates to poke him in the shoulder and tell him to lighten up.]

Ah, no, definitely not screwed. We've had a year to work on her, after all. So, uh, yeah. There are a few things up and running that I don't want to discuss the specifics of on an open network, but if you want to talk about it I can fill you in. Bring beer.

Oh no, screwed is when you're stuck on a half-sunk wreck on a water planet, with no way off unless the galaxy's last best hope of a unifying figure manages to come back from a one-way dive down to convince ancient asshole aliens to help fight ancient genocidal AIs. This? This is an Armageddon I can actually help try and avert.

[Kaidan does pause for a moment to reflect on just what turns his life has taken. He shakes his head as if to clear it.]

Yeah... I could use that beer. There's a bunch of bars in Poseidon, if you can get someone to give you a lift into town. There's one called Callahan's that's owned by another of us from the Ship, so she might even give you beer on tab at first.
