[You might have seen this guy skulking around the ship both looking like he knows exactly what he’s doing and a lot like he shouldn’t be doing it. Truthfully, he’s not done anything yet that would warrant a spell in the brig, but there’s little hope of that staying the case.

What he has seen is a bunch of people walking around without any idea of how much danger they’re in at any given moment and that’s a problem for Dean. He’s spent his entire adult life working to save people from freaky ass crap that goes bump in the night. Here isn’t any different.]

Any of you get the impression we should be keeping our eyes very freakin’ open 24/7?

I dunno about you, but I know that getting pulled onto a spaceship with no explanation and shoved in a tank of goo is pretty high up my list of pros for constant vigilance. Nobody else is taking responsibility for all the people walkin’ around without a goddamn clue of how to defend themselves. Maybe we should, ‘cause if we got a snowball’s chance of getting off this ship in one piece... time to start payin’ attention.

Interested? Qualified? Talk to me.

[Yeah, he’s aware that there’s a security team already ‘in operation’ around the ship. He just hasn’t seen them do a damn thing yet. And since he knows none of their history, he’s not apologizing for assuming they aren’t capable. Sorry, guys. He is, however, open to introductions and definitely wants to be proved wrong. Maybe then he can start to shake this feeling he’s got of being watched.]

I'm afraid not. I've been through wars, but I haven't fought in them.

You know anythin' at all about tactics? [Because that's what Dean's assuming Stats means.]

Well... no. I can't say I do. Not after so many failed evasion attempts.

...so, you have no experience with weapons, hand-to-hand combat or tactics? [Cue Dean looking confused as to why the hell Stats has responded.]

I'm drawing a blank, man. What're you into masochism or somethin'?

No, I only wanted to help you look.

[Stats, don't make Dean feel bad. You won't like him when he's feeling guilty.]

Uhhh, okay. You even know what you're lookin' for?

Well, we can't know until we look, right?

[Because you know?]

No, I have a pretty good idea of what I'm lookin' for. [Being given a gun at the age of 6 will do that to you... that and he doesn't realize yet that they might be talking about two completely different things.]

Such as?

And what makes you think it followed you here? Because I haven't seen anyone from my universe, so nothing's threatening me for now. I would say it's the same for everyone.

[Except from ex-bots with tendencies to break noses.]

[There's the small little lightbulb of understanding. Dean shakes his head and frowns slightly.]

I'm lookin' for people who can step up and be part of a security team that doesn't suck. I'm sorry, man, but what the hell do you think we're gonna find behind all these locked doors and in these restricted areas? [Hello, sarcasm.] I'll level with you here, dude. I don't think it's gonna be rainbows and puppies.

Well, until we know what's behind the doors...

That's what we're preparin' for. The worst possible scenario.

What can possibly be there? I'm at a loss.

Anythin'. We have no idea whose universe we're in. There's a few things from mine I'd hate to be up here. I guess that's the same for everyone else.

Yes. I've thought of people from mine, too. But I haven't seen any of them. You haven't, either?
I think nobody is in their own universe. But if anything threatened us, we should have heard about it.

Not yet. But it's only a matter of time.

All right. Whom are you expecting here?

There's a list. I got a whole book of mugshots, dude.

Care to share?
I for myself have thought of people whose technological level is way behind that of this ship. I admit of freaking out when I arrived, but it's very unlikely.
Unless they're from the future, but it would be a very far future.

I don't think you want me to. [Nobody ever does when he mentions who he's just faced off with. Considering what he's just left behind, he's not exactly in a rush to talk about it either.]

Please go ahead anyway; you're only making me more and more curious.

[Stats will not be stopped by 'you don't want to know's. To the contrary.]

Lucifer. Heaven. Hell. Everythin' else in between.

Er... I think I may need more details. I'm afraid I don't know about any of these.

[He's never met anybody who doesn't know who Lucifer is, or what Heaven is. It's a topic that's slightly too heavy for him right now.]

Ask anybody what Heaven and Hell are. They'll tell you.

Well... you're right here, aren't you? The most simple would be to ask you.

[Stats doesn't know... because the cultures on his world call them differently.]
