[When the video transmission starts, there’s a rather neat and tidy man in a suit, seated in one of the passenger quarters.]

I’ll give it to this place, this has to be one of the oddest awakenings I’ve had. Still doesn’t beat Nepal though…

[The last part is muttered, almost to himself, before he turned back to the camera, all business.]

Not to ask the same question twice, but I’d like to go home as much as the next person, so perhaps I’ll save on some of the legwork and reach out. How can I help make sure this ship reaches its destination in one piece? I do have military training and my information gathering skills can be useful.

[There’s a small pause, and then he smiles, a small almost innocent look.]

Also I’m rather decent at poker, if that will help us any. So, who’s recruiting?

SEC could use a few better poker players.

[ he loves u guys, really. :') ]

It seems like security could use more people regardless.

But if you have access to cards and a decent drink I could be talked into organizing poker nights.

[lostsoldier]

cards i can manage, but the local battery acid you might just to have to learn to love.

You're telling me this ship has hallucinogens and suspension pods but no decent alcohol? The future's rather bleak indeed.

hey, there are plenty of raw ingredients if you want to try your hand at bootlegging.

i don't suppose they teach you that in the army.

If the brew on this ship is as unappealing as you say, I might have to try my hand at it. It can't be too difficult.
