001 ♖ [video]
[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?]

Did she tell you where you are?
no subject
[He must be pretty cool. After all, he looks like Castle, supposedly.]
Verdana? Some planet that's not Earth. Normally I would think anyone who told me that was crazy but it doesn't look like the odds are in my favor right now.
no subject
Not being him.
"Not Earth" is a good start. Prepare yourself to be here for a while.
no subject
How did I get here?
no subject
Something bad happened to our . . . home realities, and this ship rescued us. As you can probably tell, it crashed.
no subject

They may still be on board. The ship is still undergoing repairs, and the AI is having difficulty locating or identifying individuals still in stasis.
no subject
I need to look for them. Maybe I can wake them up if they're still back on the ship.
no subject
Right now, the best thing you can do is go to the city and find a place to sleep before curfew.
no subject
[If adults have a curfew here it can't mean that anything good happens when the sun goes down.]

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

no subject
Also if it's a bar it stands to reason that it has alcohol, right?
[Because he could use some of that right now.]
no subject
Callahan's is operated by one of us, so if you tell them you're new they should help you out, even if you can't pay yet.
no subject
[Or the $20 in his wallet.]

no subject
You mind if I ask your name?

Be careful on your way into town.

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.
