Guessing everyone's feeling a little closer to compos mentis now. Great, that's gonna make this a whole lot easier.

My name is Nathan Petrelli. I'm Senator for New York, elected representative of the people, and recently made Head of Homeland Security by the President himself. It's my job to do what's in the best interests of the people, and in this case I figure that's gonna be easier said than done.

I don't want any of you to worry. Once I get up to speed on the details of what's going on here, I intend to get to the bottom of how we got here, why we were brought here, and how to go about getting back. And I mean how and why, not the bullshit they've been feeding you about jumping and wormholes and the ship needing a crew. There's a malicious intent here I'm gonna address, and then I'm getting everyone back where we belong.

I realise we're not all Americans here, and maybe you think I have no jurisdiction, but I earned the right to intervene the moment I woke up with a tube shoved down my throat, just like everyone else. I want to speak to people who know the most about this place, or be directed toward them. Captain Kirk: you're on my list for starters, but I'd rather speak to the real Captain, rather than some washed up wannabe.

Oh, and before I wrap this up, there's one other thing. A few of you will have spoken to my brother, Peter; he got here during the 'jump' previous to this one, and as I understand it he's been pretty liberal with his imagination ever since. Some time ago my brother convinced himself that he could fly. He stood on top of a twelve story building one day, called me up and told me he was going to show me he could do it. He jumped, and he fell - fortunately only as far as the fire escape - and a couple days later woke up in the hospital with minor injuries. It wasn't long after my father's death, right in the middle of my run for Congress, and I guess he was desperate for attention.

What I'm trying to say is that he's had brushes with depression before - it runs in the family - and he's not exactly stable right now. All of this doesn't make it any easier. If everyone could please be delicate with him, take what he says with a grain of salt, and inform me if it sounds like he's planning to do something that might hurt himself or others. I appreciate it.

[ it doesn't really with peter either. thus, the punch to the face. ]

I would've done it back home if I'd had time. But he'd probably just use it as ammunition to talk about how dangerous we all are.

I think on this boat he's going to have a hard time getting that little play into the game. Metahumans and aliens match regular human beings nearly 1:1.

[ Peter looks beyond perturbed, if only because Nathan refuses to believe him about anything. But he finally grabs the collar of his shirt, yanking it to the side and down, far enough to expose him from collar to deltoid. Closer to the joint of his arm and underneath his collarbone is an undeniably recent scar from a bullet hole, though it's only healed further since his arrival here.

Letting go of his shirt, he raises his eyebrows, daring Nathan to question that.

Happy?

Yeah, I already tried telling him that. Think he just took it as a threat.

[ she's not buying it. She can't reconcile thinking people are so generally shitty that they wouldn't try to help each other in this situation with caring enough about them to take that responsibility seriously. So she'll just watch him with a eyebrow raised and an expression that's veering into a smirk. ]

Except by you, right? I never had a sibling, but I'm pretty sure most people outgrow that "only I can beat on my little brother" deal at least by thirty.

Like I already told you, Danko takes over your operation. Anything you tried to tell him about who he doesn't get to kill, he's thrown out the window.

And from what I saw on the news, you get to save Matt from being his own personal bomb threat. [ Because they all know how likely it is that Matt would do something like that. ] I don't know a lot more than that, Nathan, it's not like I talk to the guy.

[...He can't even-- Nope. Sorry, Peter. Get out.]

Well. Aren't you feeling self-important today. Tell me, oh great American Senator, what exactly is your expertise? Temporal physics? Or perhaps quantum mechanics? Xenosociology? Being a twat?

[ what's 'europe' ]

It's in the Dustbowl region. A big zeppelin port, great nightlife.

May I ask where, ah -- 'New York' is?

No, I've got two options on what to believe.
And there's more numbers on his side.
The problem is that you decided to make this speech without looking at your audience first.

Only talked to him once.
It was enough.
