[ Well, hey TQ, hope you don't mind this fresh face on the network. She normally sticks to texting because if it looks like a phone and acts like a (kind of sci-fi upgraded) phone, why not use it like one? But she's been going through the other features — slow day on the ship, you know how it is — and after rifling through everything she can easily find on the communicator, she decides to post up a video.

So here's a young, teenaged girl setting the comm in front of her before she sits down cross-legged and twirls a lock of her hair. Alas, it's got less of a bounce than it normally does, but that's what lack of hot rollers on a ship will do. ]


If I write my best essay and promise to stay on my best behavior after, am I allowed to leave Space Detention? I mean, I haven't even gotten to mess around in a library, so this kind of blows.

[ she smiles because she's kind of hoping someone will catch the reference. If not, then well: ] Or are we all waiting for some big, space musical number?

Are there even any boomboxes to hold up outside that red smiley thing's window? If it has one. [ seriously, what is up with that thing. ] Also, I guess it'd have to be this phone thing, since I don't have an iPod anymore.

[ She lets out a very put upon sigh before admitting something you never would have guessed!! clearly!! But it's followed by a smile that's all teeth and too much eyelash batting. ]

Okay, so I'm bored. And I can't really miss anyone who left, since I just got here. [ not even touching whatever's up with the masks. ] You'd think the aliens would be able to hook us up with better movie selections or something.

I don't suppose there's someone on here with something entertaining to do?

I don't think there are very many movies here.

There's only one Angela here that I know of. 010 » 035.

Some people might argue with that. Hot water, indoor plumbing, heat and light and air to breathe, food to eat.

[Hey, he's just saying.]

You can tell her John Blake sent you.

Not everyone necessarily has a home to go back to. Also, there are windows in the shuttle bay. [Not that he uses them much, looking out at space just weirds him out.]

I've heard fancier names. And there are at least three other Johns that I'm aware of on this ship.

I'd say it depends on your definition of good.

[He wants to get home, too, but not necessarily because his home is appreciably better than this place. Fewer space monsters, perhaps, but enough human monsters to make up the difference.]

It's nice to meet you, Erica. I'm sure you can find something constructive to occupy your time. You could always check out the holodecks.

Some people think Smiley might be helpful. [He doubts it, but some people not him think that.]

Most floors have one. They're non-interactive, but there are some decent, uh. Settings you can call up, I guess. If you know programming, you can probably do more. Beaches, mountains, that kind of thing.

Some people have also been here a lot longer and have more experience with it.

[He just keeps his face and voice mild.] There are also the gyms, the swimming pools, the oxygen garden. There's a lot to do if you look for it.

I'm saying that people who've been here longer have more firsthand experience, and one creepy network message is probably not the whole picture.

[He shrugs.]

When I'm not on security patrol, I run an intramural basketball club.

Maybe. We hardly know anything.

[What is with all these kids and lacrosse? Lacrosse is what the rich private school kids play, at least in Gotham.]

I can't say I've ever heard basketball referred to as a joke, but there's nothing stopping anyone from trying to set up other sports teams, if they want to give it a try.

I don't think this is much at all like what most people think life on a space ship should be. Even those who are used to being in space.

It's survivalist space travel.

None of us exactly has a choice in the matter, I'm afraid.

I almost wish it was that simple.
