[OPEN; VOICE]
[The sound pops a few times, the microphone getting jostled all over because the guy holding this communicator? Yeah, he's flipping out something fierce.]
No, no, no, this is so-- Oh man. Oh man. Every kind of not good, it's--
[Awkward, nervous chuckle.]
Help destroy the mainframe, get sucked into it. It's like living The Matrix except I'm not Neo and I--
This is one hell of a mental sock, I mean, wacky space ship, big fancy dome that screams perfect, idealized society free of worry and then all the little people trapped on the outside. Sounds like the premise to a summer blockbuster! Or a B movie on SyFy. But it's not. It's gotta be part of the illusion my brain cooked up to constantly keep the adrenaline running.
So, if I'm gonna believe Echo, Priya and Anthony about their reports on what this whole Attic thing is like, where's the constant conflict, the puzzle I keep looping through, never able to solve no matter which way I think about it...?
Oh, oh! Can I take a guess? Because it's a pretty good guess. I'm gonna keep walking down this quaint little path and I'm gonna find Boyd and his little buddy Clyde in Saunders holding Bennett hostage or something. Save the girl, they get on with the thoughtpocalypse. Let them kill Bennett again and bam! Loop stars all over again and never get to know if it saved the world because I just get to agonize over the choice again! And again! Oh man, that sounds like so much fun! Bundles-o-fun like none other! I just can't wait to feel--
I, ah, Yeah. Gonna shut up now, I think.
No, no, no, this is so-- Oh man. Oh man. Every kind of not good, it's--

You're pretty much my childhood hero.
I might throw up.
...And that's totally a compliment.

The nature of your reflexes aside, I'm afraid I don't quite follow. That's two hundred and fifty years ago. How could there be a television program documenting my... adventures?

But...I could probably write unofficial biographies on you. And Spock. And McCoy. And the rest of the crew.
I've got NCC-1701 tattooed on my ankle.
...Yeah, you probably think this is creepy. Sorry, it's just not everyday that you meet the guy you've pretty much wanted to be since age three!
Still with the creepy. Uh. I'll shut up.

It's a little intense. [Still, Jim's met heroes before. They've usually turned out to be the opposite of what he thought.] I really don't know how to explain this, but I suppose I'll have to believe you.

On the other hand, I think I might like to know exactly how much you do know.
