I guess that answers any questions about whether or not I wanted to be an extra in Master and Commander. [Although, really.] That said, it definitely could have been worse. I mean, can you imagine if we ever got stuck somewhere like that, permanently? I'd take running water and modern medicine over pirates any day, I don't care how cool Jack Sparrow makes it look.

[Private to Alex]

Bummer about not finding any treasure.

[Private to Racetrack]

Hey. [... now what to say :|] I know this is weird, but. You do get kind of used to breaches.

[And Public, after he's realized SOMEONE hasn't seen Star Wars]

Alright, so, who here hasn't seen Star Wars? Kinda sounds like we need to have some kind of group movie night when people are taking a break from being all obsessive about port.

[Private to Bond]

I'm making Alex watch Star Wars. You should come. I promise I won't make you watch any of the prequels.

We do. [A beat.] Though I've...never...actually seen one myself.

[This is what happens when you spend ~10 years of your life behind bars.]

[... That complicates things, yes.]

Well, it's sort of like that, except it's recorded like the video function on the comms, here. You'll like it, it's cool.

I should like to see it then.

I'll let you know when we're doing it. How've you been?

As well as can be expected. I trust you have been well?

More or less. I still kind of can't get over how weird breaches are.

[She laughs a little.]

Honestly, I'm still trying to work out the idea of ports.

Me too. I bet I could make a fortune if I actually cracked the physics of how this place works.

You don't strike me as the type.

The make lots of money type or the secretly awesome at physics type? Because I hate to break it to you, but I'm not so secretly awesome at physics.

[With laughter:] How unfortunate. I don't know if I will ever look at you the same way again.

In a good way or bad way?

That's for you to find out.

Well, I guess I have to watch what I say.

Because that's never ended poorly for anyone before.

I mean, it's that or you judging me forever about being a nerd.

I'm not even sure what a nerd is...

Oh, right. It means someone who's really smart, and people think they're kind of a loser because of it?

Why would someone think poorly of another for their intelligence...?

It's complicated. Maybe I should drag out some high school comedies or something you can watch after Star Wars, that might explain it a little better. [Except not really, because basically, high school makes no sense, Snow.]

High school?

Oh man, it's like... where a lot of us are from, people are supposed to go to school pretty much from when you're like, five to eighteen, at least, and high school's kind of at the end of that. It kind of sucks.

I imagine most do not like performing their lessons. At least that much is familiar to me.

I'll try and find some stuff to help explain it better.

You have my thanks.
