[this is Stilinski's first time using the video function, because hey this guy doesn't even use Skype back home, why would he do it on the Tranquility. still, he has a question and he's not really sure who to ask so why not ask everyone, right? this is supposed to be a forum.]

I hope with the most recent injuries people are going to be exercising a little more caution up here. We can't keep you people safe if you keep running off into the ship.

[he's been around medical, he knows how hard the staff are working, and he isn't going ot elaborate because while he's on security, it isn't his job to police people. not until he gets that order.]

Got a question for ya though. Is it normal to get things in your locker that aren't yours?

[his expression crinkles, because he knows how that sounds.]

I don't mean something significant that isn't yours, like a picture or- or a ring that belonged to someone you knew. But I mean, something you've never seen before in your life.

[and because that isn't all that clear and because he honestly doesn't know that this is a potentially dangerous substance, he holds the bottle up.]

I thought this was gun powder or a spice or something, but, it isn't. And I have no idea what it is.

[he looks at it again, shrugs, sets it down, and ends the transmission.]

She knew things no one else could possibly know.

[But she was still just a kid.]

[this is edging into dangerous territory, Stilinski can tell. things Blake is hinting at but doesn't want asked after. the sheriff nods.]

I'm not sure how a bottle of dust is going to relate to my future, but I am on a space ship so I can't really discount anything, can I?

I couldn't say for sure, but yeah. In this place, keeping an open mind is as important as anything else.

[No, he's not saying anything about his duffel bag. Too many people already know he's from Gotham and because of that, think there's something more to him than just a cop. Which is off-putting, because more and more lately, they're kind of right.]

[he sighs, heavily, and it sounds and looks kind of like he has the weight of the world on him for moment before he brushes it aside.]

How're you holding up, by the way?

[Blake's face goes rather studiously blank.]

It's not my first rodeo. Not even my first dead kid. [Possibly the most gruesome, but he's not saying that aloud.]

[he's not pleased to hear that, especially not for a kid his age; but that's the job. it's never glamorous.]

You never mentioned where you're from.

Gotham, New Jersey. I know, I know. In some people's worlds, it's a fictional city or something.

[yeahhhh Stilinski himself has read those comics not that this is public information. still, he doesn't remember a Blake.]

You get that a lot, don't you?

Pretty often. I've had people ask to see my badge, like there's something special about a Gotham police badge.

I feel like part of that is just having a badge.

Sure, I get it from kids back home sometimes. But a grown man? And not in that way they have when they don't believe you, or they think they're going to report you to a supervisor for something. But in that star-struck way. It's weird.

[he chuckles low, then, despite himself.]

Guess you're just lucky.

That's not exactly how I'd put it.

A lot of people would love that kind of attention.

More power to 'em. Where I come from, that kind of attention could get me in a lot of trouble.

I believe it.

[no really, he read Detective Comics when he was little.]

It's a bit of a relief here, actually. I don't have to hide so much. But it's still weird.

I can't say I know what it's like. I'm sure Spock does. [he smirks]

He probably gets it bad. And Obi-Wan Kenobi.

[Blake doesn't envy those guys, not one bit.]

You're telling me.
