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.

Yeah, got here in time for the island... stuff. You?

About four months, give or take a couple days.

Got any tips?

Don't be surprised if your inmate threatens to shoot you at some point.

Is - wow. [Long pause.] Did that happen to you?

Yeah, not a big deal. We usually get along fine.

[He nods.]

Good to know.

What's your name?

Sam. [A short pause.] From Earth. Some people here are from space.

And from like, a couple decades in the past, or the future, or from totally crazy alternate realities.

Peter. From Earth.

[A small salute in acknowledgement.]

I'm still getting used to those crazy alternate realities. 2019.

2012. You'll figure it out, it's actually pretty cool once you start getting used to it.

Yeah, you bet. I still can't believe people come from space.

That's probably some of the less weird stuff.

Yeah? How so?

I've met some people who say they know me, but I've seriously never heard of them. That kind of thing.

Anything and everything really is possible here. Wow.

[Careful incredulity, to disguise exactly how uncomfortable he is with that kind of thing.]

Pretty much.

Cool. See you on movie night, then?

Sure thing.
