[Tommy's transmitting this from the bar, where he basically has been living ever since his last post. He sounds a little distant, distracted, and very very drunk.] I had a wife back home. Jeanie... We married before I shipped out to Iraq. Never even had a chance to open our wedding gifts. [Gifts that he shot.] Never will, now. [BECAUSE HE SHOT THEM. Also, he's in space. Which is good, since she has a restraining order against him.]

I keep thinking about what I'd do if I ever saw her again. What I'd say... [How he'd make things right.]

I know I'm new here, but I can't be the only one missing someone. You all have somebody, right?

[He's quiet for a while, then:]

What would you say if you could see 'em again?

[OOC: To folks I owe tags to: I have not forgotten! Just gonna play catch up later today.]

You don't think this ship could get you back where you belong? It took you away from home, didn't it? Somehow it got you here, should be able to get you back, too. Just gotta figure out the process, and reverse it!

You make it sound so easy.

The trickiest part should be figurin' it out in the first place. I'd need access to... stuff I don't have access to right now.

What, like the control room? The place where they beam us all up from?

Jump drive, I think. Seems the place. Can't get in, though.

Sure is, Resnik don't want anyone down there.

If everyone wanted to get in there, he couldn't stop all of us.

[OR COULD HE? Truth be told... Tommy doesn't care all that much. If he's dead back home, getting to the jump drive will do nothing for him.]
talkstoengines: (yeah no)

Not sure how anyone's gonna break the lock on those things. Our tattoos get us in places - I think all the locks are on computers.
