text --> video (come fly with me)

Given all that has happened lately, we need more help down in Shuttle Bay.
We currently have 5 shuttles properly running and we need more if we ever have to leave here.
So if you're interested in helping there let one of us know, we'll answer any questions you may have.

We're also looking for a few others who are willing to learn to fly – idiots need not apply.

- Capt. K. Thrace (battlestar galactica)


[ Wait, something’s wrong. When you open the message to start your reply, it seems to glitch, and then Casey’s face appears on the screen. ]

Hah, got it. Now listen up, if you’re hearing this it’s because you’re about to throw in and offer your no doubt endless talents to a good cause down here in the shuttle bay. I thought it only fair to warn you that we don’t take nerds who can’t keep their mouths shut down here. [ No breaking Obi-Wan, okay? ] We want hard workers and only hard workers, because if the shit hits the fan you lot are going to be grateful that there’s a fleet of shuttles kept ship shape to save your sorry asses.

And if you want to learn to fly, you’d better have a good sense of direction and survival instinct, because with Captain Fry as your teacher you’re going to need it.

Casey out. [ The video feed crackles and is dead. ]

Maybe it is. Maybe we're all being brainwashed into wandering off when we're not supposed to.

Maybe the ones who come back are just lucky.

[ He's such a joy to be around. ]

That's the great thing about not knowing what sort of crap we've signed up for. Except I don't remember signing up, do you?

Where did you get brainwashing out of that?

[ And yet she keeps hanging out with him. ]

No, I don't. [ But there's something in her tone, not quite an "it could be worse" but more of an "I don't have much other choice". ]

Brainwashing. Infinite sleep. Experimented on while we're all unconscious - think about it - we don't know what happens when we climb in those things.

They'd have to do it without opening the couches up. They put people into stasis.

Sure, I know. But since we are in stasis, we wouldn't know better. We'd sleep right through the end of the world.

[ There's a pause. ]

Did you go to Strela?
