How can people be so idle when there is so much at stake at your inaction?

[It's quiet. The past jump has not been kind to Marius. In fact, he sounds positively unsettled, almost as if he needs to just go to sleep and not talk to the public at large, but he needs to do something and this is the only way he can make his heart less heavy.]

We are slaves here to the whim of individuals we cannot even see, to those we cannot even meet, and -- I cannot keep quiet about it any longer.

[He draws in a breath.]

I know there will be much discussion about why we are here and whether or not we can escape -- and I am interested in hearing all of that, but what I am more interested in is opinion. I want to hear what people feel about being here, be it anger or apathy, rather than the facts of our situation, for nothing has ever been changed with cruel numbers and statistics so much as heart.

[And he stills for a long moment before Marius shuts off the feed -- and, maybe twenty minutes later, he sends out a text.]

What can be done about nightmares?

Most of us're pretty steamin' about bein' here, you're not exactly alone there. Figure what we can do is keep this place runnin' - cos if she breaks down, we'll all die, and that's pretty useless - and some of the smarter folks're tryin' to figure out how to get us back to where we belong.

Seems to me feelings are good to have, because we don't act if we don't feel somethin', but sittin' here talkin' about how frustrated we all are probably won't do much.

Then what do you suggest we do in order to figure out how to take back control of our lives, mademoiselle?

[It's a serious question.]

Help each other. We're all stuck here together, right? And we all got different stuff we know, right? I'm a mechanic, so I help in engineering. Simon's a doctor, so he's in medical. I'm sure there's somethin' you're good at, that you can help people with.

I am an attorney.

[Which -- will end well, on a spaceship, Marius is sure.]

[Kaylee's face practically lights up at that.]

Oh, you should talk to Miles Edgeworth, then! He's a lawyer too!

[Wow Kaylee, that is such a bad idea. That is the worst idea to ever cross your mind.]

I think --

[uh]

I believe I am.

[IT'S NOT GOING VERY WELL.]

That's nice! Edgeworth is a nice fella, I bet you'll have lots in common. You even talk alike! [No Kaylee, no. That's not how it works.]

Ahm.

[Er.]

-- I'm afraid not.

Don't be rude, now! Edgeworth is a nice fella, he just gets a little uptight sometimes. Needs to find a nice girl. Or guy, not sure exactly which he'd prefer.

[what]

He and I have differing views on history, as it were.

It is nothing I have not encountered before.

Mal always says history is written by the winners. [She doesn't really know what you're talking about, Marius.]

You doin' okay? Settling in all right? You should check out the oxygen garden if you need some fresh air. It's not really fresh, but it's the closest thing we got.

It is, indeed, written by the winners -- but it is the hope that the minority is heard as well.

Enjolras mentioned the oxygen gardens.

It's nice! You should check it out.

It sounds as something I would enjoy.

[He met Cosette in a garden, after all.]
