[ A bit of silence, and the sound of someone clearing his throat.

Guess who finally decided to stop lurking? Thiiiis guy. ]

-- Can I say one thing, about the final frontier?

I thought it was supposed to be a little grander than this. [ THOUGHTFUL PAUSE. ] More lights, you know, and perhaps more windows in the ship so we could actually see things.

But as a measure of curiosity, show of hands, how many of us are just from good old Earth? Been to the moon and not much further, that sort of thing? Because an awful lot of you seem very at home on a bloody spaceship, and I'm feeling a little left out.

This place is like a maze, too, so if you get lost on the way there it could take you longer.

There's no reason for me to head to engineering, anyway. I'll wait for a map, before I decide to take myself on a tour.

[yeah he didn't think so.]

From the sounds of it you might be waiting a while.

[ :( ]

Not that I have much of a choice, either way.

What did you do before you got here?

[ Laughing, a little sheepishly. ]

-- Depends on what you mean by do.

[his eyebrow raises. you can almost hear it in his voice.]

When you say it like that...

I'm a gambler. [ He'd be shrugging if you could see him. ] Some don't consider that an actual occupation.

What were you doing before waking up here, then?

You do what you gotta do.

[coming from a kid who's been gambling since he was old enough to hold the cards.]

Heading for the galactic barrier.

You'll have to forgive my ignorance, but.

Barrier?

[ how do you barrier space. is it a place? what a weird name for it!! ]

It's a barrier of- I guess you could call it energy- that separates the Milky Way from the rest of the universe.

[putting it simply.]
