No matter how it goads you, no matter what you've seen, or what you think you might know--don't go looking. Nothing ever good comes of it, and nothing ever will.

If you're too arrogant, or too foolish to take my advice, then don't come running to me when it all blows up in your face.

DISCONNECT.

[rixatus]

everyone goes looking, nathan. everyone.

[indestructigirl]

So then what's the plan? Just ride this out until it blows up in all of our faces at once?

voice; private

[cargojet]

The last time you went looking you never came back. That made you one of the lucky ones. People who go out there lose a part of themselves.

[ancientalien]

And who are you to make such a demand?

text

[cargojet]

Someone with your best interests in mind. You want me to make a case for my authority? Not going to happen. But if you want to look at this as an opportunity to learn why it's a very bad idea, I'm at your disposal.

[emergingspirit]

Go looking for what? Where have people gone that they do not come back or come back missing parts of themselves?

[voice]

[cargojet]

They go into the ship. They go looking for the smile, for answers, for a way out. They go looking for a fight, or they go looking for lost friends. Some of them get messed up, some of them go mad walking through looping corridors with no sense of time, and the rest--well, they disappear.

STARFLEET ENCRYPTION 100%

[leaps]

They don't listen, not to warnings like this.

STARFLEET ENCRYPTION 100%

[cargojet]

You still gotta give them. It's like telling your kids the stove is hot. They're gonna touch it either way--this time, when they come back after getting burned, they might resent you for it but they're gonna be more willing to listen.

It spoke to you. It called you by your number, Nathan.

private;

[cargojet]

Not by my number. Not my any number I know about. You got any bright ideas?

audio;

[tumbleweeds]

You don't need to go looking. Sometimes it finds you. Especially if you've looked before.

[ That's what happened to her, after all. ]

[cargojet]

It's still a case of minimizing the risk.

[ God don't tell him that. He's paranoid and creeped out as it is. ]

[withlace]

What did you go looking for?

[cargojet]

I didn't go looking. It expects me to, but I know better.

[coffeeking]

There are different ways to look. Remember when I asked you before about the information you'd compiled?

[Oh, look who's back in the land of the living.]

video; private

[cargojet]

Look who it is. Back with us? I thought the flu was gonna take you out.

I remember. And you're right, it almost makes me a hypocrite.

Ye realize they're are too damned many heroes here for that to work, right?

Voice

[cargojet]

I know all about heroes. I gotta family of them. I know there's no making them listen to reason when they set their mind on something.

[makedo]

Do you really expect that to work?

[cargojet]

Been a while since the last time anyone's said it, and it seemed like an appropriate moment. You got the Pied Piper of Hamlin there offering everyone their hearts' desires, someone's gotta make a noise to snap them outta it.

[20mentholkools]

You or the smile. Limited options.

[cargojet]

I still reckon I'm the safer bet of the two.

SURPRISE ACTION dwi reg

[became]

[ whatever room nathan is exiting next, there's neal: leaned ( posed, fine ) casually against a wall, studying his cuticles with the kind of focused concentration that implies he's been waiting for hours. he hasn't, but details. ]

About time, Petrelli. Claire, really? Do I look like a Claire to you?

[cargojet]

[ Nathan stops dead, then firmly closes the door to the Comms room behind him. Ew computers. Dangerous. Covered in listening devices. ]

Claire's my daughter, it seemed like a safe excuse.

And you--you idiot. It saw you. It knows.

People take that thing seriously?

[ seriously though the fuck. ]

More often than you might think, for a red smile. Some of them just act like it's an interactive video game, not their lives on the line.

[klutziness]

Nothing good comes from sitting around either.

[cargojet]

Many wars get won without a single person being harmed, and nobody ever notices, because it's all done by people who're "sitting around."

A year and a half. Give me a break, I've been dying to hang up on that little bastard.

[thatsaflaregun]

You're gonna have to stop tellin' 'em, brotha.

[He had this conversation with Sulu. It's enough to make him a little hopeless.]

[cargojet]

What? If you can't beat them then join them?

[hypospray]

You did set yourself up to be the one they run to by saying this.

[ he's js, even if he completely agrees one hundred percent. ]

[cargojet]

I know, but in a manner of speaking, that's probably for the best.

[rejack]

What if it actually wants to help us?

[cargojet]

If you think that then be my guest. The spider/fly comparison comes to mind.

[inspirited]

You think that will help?

[cargojet]

I think right now I have to try what I can. Stop them if I can.
