[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?]

Video
[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.]
Video
[This keeps getting weirder and weirder.]
Video
[He also looks younger, but that's not the sort of thing you say to a person]
Video
[And thanks for not calling him old.]
While I am a pretty good dresser, I don't usually wear a tux. I was on my way to my wedding. Also - where the hell am I right now?
Video
[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.
Video
[You ask a writer, that's the kind of answer you get.]
Video
[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.
Re: Video
[He turns around and glances back at the dusty hatch opening.]
You're telling me that a spaceship pulled me here. From Earth. To a planet named after a font.
Video
[Most of them, anyway. But that wasn't the point here. She never brought it up to people who didn't know, if she could help it.]
Font bit's news to me, but the rest of that's right. We ain't sure what it is that makes folk wake up. Still a lot we don't know 'bout Salvation yet.
Video
You sure that thing is going to be able to make it to Earth? Granted, I'm not exactly sure how far we are from Earth right now.
Video
Once she's flyin' again, anyway.
Video
[Maybe he hit his head really hard and he's imagining all of this from a ditch on the side of the road.]
I have a few questions if that's ok. [Actually he has way more than a few but he's going to start with the most important.] Do you know a guy named Jackson Hunt?
Video
'Fraid not. Ain't terribly surprisin', if y'ain't used to spaceships and such.
Video
Ok. How about a woman named Kate Beckett? She's my fiancee.
Video
Video
[There's hope then.]
Video
Video
Ok.. what do I need to do now?
Video
Video
[This sucks. But at this point he doesn't really see any other option. He needs a new pair of clothes too.]
I'll go check it out. Thanks for your help... what's your name?
Re: Video
[Right, she has your name and a bunch of others, but she never introduced herself.]
I'm Kaylee Skywalker.
Video
[Yeah he's not just going to let that go. That's not exactly a common name.]
Video
Skywalker. Coupla months now.
Video
[He'd say it's not possible but then he reminds himself that he's in space and logic is completely gone at this point.]
Video
[She's heard about the movies. They all have. But she doesn't usually think about it.]
