[ This video starts out much like any other - new person being mildly awkward, staring a little to the left. Sheepish might be a good descriptor for Peter at the moment. ]

Right, so. [ Which isn't what he planned to open with, hang on, let's rewind. ] My name's Peter Petrelli. I'm from New York, year 2006. I've read back on the network enough to get a decent idea about what's going on, but not nearly enough to make sense. I did read that we have a medbay, and that I was here before. So uh, sorry about this, but I don't remember being here the first time around.

I guess what I'm trying to say is — who do I actually talk to about getting on the medical team?

Oh, and I can't figure out the space microwave. A little help with that, maybe?

Surprisingly, it's not as confusing as I thought it'd be. Funny, huh?

But hey, it's nice to meet you for the first time again.

[yardbird]

Guess so, in that... funny-but-no-one's-laughing kinda way.

Yeah, hey... [Awkward pause.] Uh, I'm... Murphy. You probably don't remember that, so...

[heroisms]

Peter. [ By sheer force of will Peter will steer this conversation out of the awkward zone, or die trying. At least you're not a girl or this would be ten times more awkward. ] Seriously, man, it's nice to meet you.

Do you know how to work those space ovens, by the way?

[yardbird]

[...Yeah, Murphy definitely knows about the whole awkward-around-girls department. He's gotten better about it these days, though not by a large margin.]

The ovens? Yeah. They're not that hard to figure out. [At least he's managed to get them to turn on without starting fires and summoning a hell dimension this time. Score one for Murphy.]

[heroisms]

That makes one of us who's figured those things out. [ See, this is not so bad! Though if stoves are a gateway to a hell dimension where you're from, Peter's got some serious questions about your world's purpose. ] Think you could help me figure one out?

[yardbird]

Well, I've had a lot more time on my hands to get things worked out, and you kinda got to make your own food around here. [Which is something that Murphy hasn't had to worry about in a long time. Not in prison, anyway. And that's honestly not a bad thing.]

...But sure, it's not that hard to work.
