cargojet: (Let's get political)

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.

i think that guys like you try to justify the shit you're pulling so other people think you're in the right

i think that guys like you repeat it that much that you start to believe you're doing the right thing soon enough

i KNOW that guys like you need to step back and take a look at yourselves before you fuck up completely

Yeah well, he's a politician. He's better at giving them than anyone else. Question is if people'll be less willing to believe him here than they are back home.

[ Peter sounds unsurprisingly pissed off. Not that he really expects Sylar to listen, but that's not going to stop him from bitching. ]

Of course you aren't.

[ THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL RLY. ]

You realize what you're getting done is making Peter look like an even nicer guy-- and make you look like a pathological liar, right?

[ you can have BOTH, pete. over-identification + mama bear complex, go. ]

Are you sure? Because I like you.

[ beat. ]

I'm sorry, Peter. Siblings shouldn't-- he should look out for you, not this.

But if it isn't already a democratic process then shouldn't there be one?

[ George would be so much better to discuss this than Buffy is equipped to. ]

But then, I really don't know how things work yet. And neither do you, it sounds like.

You don't want any of us to worry? Well, that's a weight off. I'll just skip past the fact that in my time here I've been fed on, lost in an endless corridor, trapped in a room with skeletons and possessed, 'cause you're gonna get to the bottom of things.

[ and as much as hearing someone else bag on Kirk may normally get a smile from her, this guy grates way worse. At least Captain Smooth doesn't go airing other people's issues on the network. This guy is... ]

...kind of a dick, aren't you?
