Boy, that was a close one! That gas formation was a clever trick.

Hello there.

I know I've already spoken to some of you—I had hoped to do this individually—but it appears we need to move things along more quickly than we'd realized. That ship of yours seems eager to shake us, and we simply can't let that happen.

My name is Lina Barnez. The rest of the team and I have been working on contacting the Tranquility for some time. Unfortunately, our tech isn't perfectly compatible with what you're running on. It hasn't been easy, but we're managing. I don't know how long we'll have.

We're here to help you, but in order to do that, we'll need you to help us. You've been through a lot on this ship: it's a miracle so many of you are still with us. We'd like to make sure you stay that way, but we can only do that if you're completely honest with us.

We know about the events on Strela, the Cyllene and Arima, as well as the Scylla. What happened to those poor people was not your fault, and you have my word that we have no plans to hold you responsible for those events.

But we need to work together to make sure it doesn't happen again. The more you tell us about what's been going on aboard the Tranquility, the more we can do.

You know what? It kinda does.

[Even though he doesn't know what half of that means. Whoever the hell their president is, wherever the hell Alexandria is, whoever the pilot is. It's all useless information, but it's humanizing information, and that goes a long way.]

I'd say it's a pleasure to meet you, Lina, but given the circumstances. You know.
This ship kidnaps people. And I don't just mean from different planets, I mean different UNIVERSES. Different dimensions. Wipes their minds sometimes. Is that what you're looking to hear?

[jeSUS FUCKING CHRIST they came out of nowhere.

Just when he was getting somewhere, too. Son of a bitch.

He fires back one last text:]


Dean.

Sometimes people forget they've been here. Sometimes people forget they've been other places, other universes. Sometimes they go home, come back, and it's like a blank slate. I've heard I've been here before a couple times myself, but that's not what I remember.

That's all you're getting from me- if we're not in the pods in like ten minutes our insides are gonna be our outsides and our outsides are going to be on the walls. But hey, never mind our monthly near-explosion, good luck with YOUR thing. Sounds like a real challenge. Over & out.

[Tralala time to go deep throat a trach tube. Everyone's favorite time of the month.]
