002. Sebastian Moran in: Colonel Moran's Jungle Adventure: Narrated by Sebastian Moran

[ Interesting thing about Sebastian Moran: he absolutely loves a good jungle. It doesn't matter what type, so long as it's interesting and He considers the Tranquility a jungle within itself, really, if jungles were composed of oddly mismatched architecture. The entire ship has offered him plenty of room to explore, though, and he's finally discovered the oxygen gardens.

He knows full well that there's not anything of the nasty, sharp-toothed, razor-clawed nature lurking in the gardens, but it's nice to be back in a familiar environment, so he's incredibly cheerful, whistling some semblance of a tune when the recording begins, his eyes scanning his surroundings beyond the view of the device. Suddenly, he stops his whistling and cracks a grin.
]

Damn. That'll be stuck up there all day now. [ He taps his temple. ] How far does all this go on, then? It doesn't seem nearly deep enough for my tastes.

[ Oh, another interesting thing about Sebastian Moran, by the way: he really loves to hear himself talk. Which means that for the next few minutes, the lot of you have to him narrate his own mini documentary. And his voice is not nearly as calming as Morgan Freeman's. ]

Maybe we'll catch a tiger, eh? [ He chuckles. ]

Damn near impossible to catch one of 'em by the toe and live to tell the tale, in case you ever wondered. They've got razor sharp claws that retract, five inches long on most of 'em. You'd probably be better off putting your head between their jaws and saving 'em the trouble of shredding you to bits.

[He continues on in this manner for five more minutes or so, rattling off strangely gorey facts about tigers and other beasties and jungles in the world's cockiest tone until--

The scheduled "rain" for the lower levels of the garden begins to fall heavily, instantly soaking him and mostly shutting him up beyond hushed swears as he fumbles to turn the device off. Thanks, Tranquility.

Fantastic, because I don't believe in deductions.

If it's smart and worth the shot, it's worth hunting. Tigers are a personal preference, but I wouldn't be too concerned, chum. I've found nothing interesting to shoot in this fake jungle. Not since that blasted turkey escaped.

Those requirements could cover a lot of creatures. [And people, but he doesn't think he should start referencing The Most Dangerous Game just yet.] Why tigers?

Ah, but there's one final quality that not all of 'em have.

[ The Most Dangerous Game is a fantastic parallel, really. People definitely fit in there. General Zaroff could, in fact, be Moran's descendant were Zaroff not so very Cossack. ]

The excitement. Now, don't get me wrong, if you can bring down a lion or a rhinoceros or one of them abominable snowballs, that's nothing to sniff at, is it? Game is game, but I've found that the excitement is at its at most intense with tigers. You don't know if they're stalking you or if you're stalking them until someone ends up bleeding.

And yet you were enthused about a turkey.

That is a personal situation. Besides, sometimes game is game whether you wrap it up in a nice, striped package or not.

I suppose you can hardly have a tiger for your Christmas dinner.

Now you're thinking properly, my good man.

What, in considering hunting a matter of providing food, rather than meaningless sport?

Options. You're thinking of options. Not everything makes for a good meal, and not everything makes for good sport.

Then perhaps you should be looking for the elusive creature that manages both, rather than going after tigers.

No doubt you'll let me know if you find one.

Ah, but I'm not the hunter here, am I?
