01 ( video ) ✂ ICE TO MEET YOU

[WOW THIS POST IS SO EXCITING no, psych. it's an average man, holding his communicator in such a way as to just film his average face and average neck and the average background behind him. yawn. he appears to be wearing some kind of red t-shirt, and his expression falls somewhere between neutral and friendly.]

You know, most every kid dreams about going to space at some point, but I gotta say this isn't exactly what I pictured after seeing Star Wars for the first time. No stars, for one thing--you'd figure that would be one of the perks. A whole lot of walls, though. I'd ask about the resident status of little green men, but that might actually be offensive. [SHRUG. his smile is easy, if a little self-deprecating.] I've always been a Xena guy, myself. Funny how things work out.

Okay, okay--I did have a question when I started this, I swear. As a special bonus, it won't even start an ethics debate. This is an open network, right? Like one big interstellar Craigslist, internet arguments and all. I've already done some of the recommended reading--very informative, by the way--but in my experience there's not much an FAQ can do to replace real... experience. So. What's one thing you wish someone had told you when you first showed up here? Anything at all, doesn't matter what. [one corner of his mouth twists up for a moment, as if to say well, what can you do?] Not sure how much I can offer in return right off the bat, but hey, give me a few weeks. I'll owe you one.

[he pauses, looking at the camera with a wry edge to his otherwise still friendly grin.]

Also. Has anyone been able to figure how we end up with the stuff in our lockers? I mean, the--selection process. Because I for one would love to know the reasoning behind this. [he lowers the camera slightly to reveal that he is, in fact, wearing this.] Not disputing the logo, by the way. Just curious.

[ That gets a laugh, even if she's really never had much of an issue with New Jersey in general. Of course, she hasn't really spent a lot of time there; most of the cases she worked were in the Boston area or came to her. ] I think I might even take Newark over this place. At least then I'd be able to get home if I wanted.

[ TOTES NORMAL except how it's a little off, which Olivia notices but won't comment on or draw attention to. ] That is one thing I've wondered about the most up here. Obviously not having windows was done on purpose, but I'd like to know why. It's not like the entire ship needs to be made of glass.

[ Only partially. She's mostly not saying anything because she'd rather get to know him better; calling people out on stuff like that isn't exactly the way to do that. ] I guess it's possible the jumps came after they'd already built the ship, that they didn't realize it was going to factor in when they designed it. It's hard to say, honestly, with how little information we've got about this place.

That's probably because it is. Anytime we get something that seems like an answer, all it does is lead to more questions.

Seems that way. [ Olivia's used to weird. It doesn't mean she likes it anymore than anyone else, but she's used to it. ]

I'm Olivia, by the way. Olivia Dunham.

[ She nods slightly. ] Likewise, Rudy.
