[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?]

[His dad, certainly. Kate, no.]
Is there a way to check the pods?

[Castle rubs his face. What was he going to do if Kate wasn't here with him?]

Who am I talking to, by the way? I'm Rick Castle.

[He shrugs, as though dismissing any possibility that the resident AI might become murderous.]
Name's Tony Stark. And I'm not an AI, in case you were wondering.

A lady named Kaylee told me to check out Poseidon for housing?
[Video]
[And since the last time he checked was that morning, she probably still does.]
Hold on, I'm sending you a map.

[This is not, strictly speaking (or at all), true.]
There are a few of us working on the ship. If we see your Kate, we'll let you know.

Thanks. She... means a lot to me.
[Obviously. He was only on his way to marry her.]
