[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?]

[Now there's a sight she wasn't expecting. At least not saying those words.]

Cap'n?

[She shakes her head. No, that's not quite right.]

You ain't the cap'n.

Sorry, Toto. You're not in Kansas any more.

Do you want the absolutely insane answer, or the one that's even harder to swallow?

Ya look so much like him.

[She's taking this rather well, all things considered. So much other weird stuff has happened in the past few years. You eventually learn to just accept it.]

From the background, Kaidan is somewhere on the ship. From the fatigue lines around his eyes, he's been 'somewhere on the ship' for some time. The half-repaired section of opened wall plating behind him might suggest just why that is.]

Ah... no. I have to say you're the best dressed wakeup we've had in a while, though.

You're about a century late, depending on how you measure it. And on the wrong side of a transdimensional rift.

[That, presumably, would be the difficult to swallow part.]

The planet's Verdana. There's a military outpost about a mile and a half east, and it's a half hour drive down to the city of Poseidon. And don't get your hopes up - despite the naming scheme, no one knows where Earth is.

Afraid not. This land is known as Verdana. You are a new arrival from the ship, no doubt?

[This is new.]

What are you doing?

Cap'n Reynolds. From my ship back home. He don't dress near as fancy as you though.

[He also looks younger, but that's not the sort of thing you say to a person]

No. The world is called Verdana, the nearest city is known as Poseidon. Those of us who awake on the ship come from all over, however.

[She's worried about you, fool. Well. Not you.]

Where are you? Why are you dressed like that?

Sorry Salvation had such rotten timing.

[On his way to his wedding. That's just not fair]

Cap'n's here on Verdana. Expect he might be a bit grumpy to see you.

Trust me, that ain't half the weird that happens here.

[Kaylee's standards of weird have been thoroughly recalibrated]

It's a planet, but it don't appear on any star chart any of us had seen before. Salvation grabs up people from different universes, so it might not even exist in some of 'em.
