[ No video, here -- really, despite the obvious setbacks to this place, Wash has to say he prefers its communication devices to the seals. At least he's not hearing voices in his head anymore. (Aside from the normal ones, that is.) ]

So I'm wondering.

[ He's looked through the network, but for some reason, he can't seem to find an answer to what he thinks is a rather simple question. ]

Every few weeks, the ship makes a jump, and we go heading off somewhere else, right? Just making our way through this system.

The question is: why? Where exactly are we going? It's not like the ship's just driving itself.

[ ...At least, he hopes not. That business with the corridors was bad enough. ]

Anyone out there got an answer?

Here? Two months.

Before that, I was somewhere else. Kind of like this.

[halves]

That 'jump' thing really happens every few weeks?

[articletwelve]

Yeah. Twice, since I got here.

[halves]

Fuck me.

[He really didn't think he'd have to go through that process over and over. So that's nice.

Moving on.]

Where were you before?

[articletwelve]

[ Sorry, bro. ]

A city called Splendor. It was-- different.

[halves]

[Splendor, Tranquility...]

I sense a theme.

[articletwelve]

Tell me about it.

You got a name?

[halves]

Lou. You?

[articletwelve]

Washington.

[halves]

Nice meeting you, Washington. [Or something. You never know.] Here's to hoping someone else manages to be useful.

[articletwelve]

[ Around here, he'll take the "or something." ]

We can hope, anyway. Watch your back, Lou.
