[ It takes Peter a second after he's turned his phone on to give it the direct look he means to -- he's still not used to the thing yet. Or public speaking. ]

I already got the rundown on all of this, but i've got a question for anyone. Everyone.

Who here's actually talked to the Captain? [ He pauses for a second like he's waiting for an actual response. ] Is he really the only one who gets to decide who gets dragged onto this.. ship? Because i've been hunted down by the government once already and woken up somewhere I didn't plan on being, and if this has something to do with that--

[ Getting a little too irritated sounding, he sighs, taking another second. ]

Just have a hard time believing that the guy who flies this is the only one that decides who gets on this thing. It can't be that simple. [ Just like he's still having a hard time believing he's in space but... that's all he's got for right now. ]

[ Alex knows hunted by the government - well, do an extent. He knows having missiles launched at him and hiding from the CIA, which was, and still is, his primary concern about all this. So he's pinged. ]

Doubt it is. I haven't found anyone with answers yet, though.

[ You and him both, considering he was on the run from the government and Danko's shoot to kill policy on his head, before he showed up here. It's made him just a little bit paranoid. ]

All i've heard is that the Captain isn't exactly the easiest guy to get in touch with.

Shouldn't he have an office or something? What's stopping us from hunting him down?

[ Alex hasn't quite explored the ship yet, so he hasn't fully realized how very huge it is. He's also from the 60s, so what are doors that can't just be plasma-blasted through? ]

He doesn't decide on us.
They don't even know exactly how we get here.
They think it's something broken in the jump drive.
Last I heard, anyway.

Guess people are getting mixed messages. So you heard it was the ship's fault, huh.

They don't talk to us as much as they used to.
Makes chinese whispers easy.

Ain't no one's seen the Captain, mate. I ain't head a word from him since I arrived.

[askedtobe]

He talked to you when you got here?

[bottlearum]

[He shakes his head.]

Not a word, mate.

[ There's a pause on his own end as he asses the words, curious about the whole government topic but taking pause, and politeness, before he continued on with the first topic at hand. ]

I've not heard anything from the Captain, myself, though from what I've heard no one seems to know why we're here-- I wish I could tell you more but I've only just arrived myself.

[askedtobe]

So you were picked up on this... this last jump, too?

[ He sighs, frustrated without a suitable outlet for it. ] There's gotta be some kind of reason for it.

[butwedonot]

I imagine there is, there's a very slim possibility in my opinion that this is all chance; however the true reasoning doesn't seem to be readily apparent. An unfortunate set of circumstances.

I suppose though, given more time,one might be able to assess the situation far better.

Unless somebody's holding out on me, the captain's playing a pretty great game of Hide and Seek. Minus the seeking.

[askedtobe]

Starting to sound like it isn't just you. Captain's holding out on all of us.

[angerissues]

[ He nods a little. ] Welcome to Tranquility. Wish I could say that the whole questions-without-answers thing gets less frustrating over time, but it really doesn't.

Captain's a busy man. [doing what is what Jim would like to know. he's getting frustrated, but at least he saw Resnik.] I spoke to him when we arrived, and to be honest, he doesn't seem any happier than we are that we're here.

[askedtobe]

Seriously? Not the story I heard when I first got here. [ Excuse Peter while he just.. rubs his face with an exaggerated sigh. What he wanted was at least two people to agree on a story at this point. ]

But I think i've got a different one of those from every single person i've talked to.

[lethalforce]

That sounds promising.

voice;

[askedtobe]

Which part?

[jilt]

Not I. Catching his attention seems to be an insurmountable task.

[askedtobe]

Guess he's too busy to talk to the people that accidentally end up on his ship.

The captain [ and she's using the term loosely ] made an announcement shortly after the first jump, and based on that announcement he and the first officer don't know what's brought us here any better than the rest of us do. [ from her tone, she sounds pretty doubtful that they're truly as ignorant as they say. ]

AUDIO;

[askedtobe]

[ At the very least, some of what he's hearing is starting to sound the same -- some people are at least sharing stories. Which is comforting only in that not everyone thinks something different. Sort of. ]

So it could still have something to do with the people who know back home, for instance. As far as they know, supposedly. [ ... great. ] If they're even telling the truth.

[ hunted down by the government? YOU IMMEDIATELY HAVE MAX'S ATTENTION. ]

I don't think the government has anything to do with it, but I've just arrived myself.

[askedtobe]

[ He was kind of hoping it would attract peoples attention, actually. ]

You and me both. But I still don't think there's any way to tell whether or not the government's involved.
