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.

James T. Kirk of the U.S.S. Enterprise, yes.

[Jim says with a wolfish smile. he keeps thinking this conversation will get old and-- well to be honest, it kind of does. he much preferred Alfred's reaction to his being J.T. Kirk.

but Kirk has never liked politics, and Nathan hasn't done a great job of getting on his good side.]


And I'm not crazy. Well, not that kind of crazy, anyway.

Anyway, you called, so here I am.

You keep acting like this is something i've painted. Like Hiro coming back from the future. Or dreaming about the explosion

[ A momentary pause that's given along with the shake of his head. ] It's my present, you just haven't lived through it yet. And i've got the scar to prove it.

Or the rest of my family.

[ sigh. once he stops being so pissed about all of this, the sulking will begin. ] Right. As long as he's not invited to the club.

[ WHAT IMPRESSIVE ENCRYPTIONS YOU HAVE.

but no, really, he appreciates that people aren't listening to anything nathan's saying, and therefore don't think he's crazy.
]

That's one way to put it. [ grumble grumble. ] Think he's more interested in trying to discredit me than he is in making friends.

[ they're lovely okay, he's not denying it :c ]

Told people he could fly, that he was leading an operation back home to round up people with abilities. Nothing but the truth. Except it's a top secret operation, makes him feel better about what he's doing if he pretends it doesn't exist.

[ a beat ] And I might have punched him in the face. [ because there is that. ]

[ Nathan? Meet Kitten. She's all dolled up in a 70's-esque dress, and, more importantly, has a very Irish lilt to her voice as she speaks, even if it is a little masculine. ]

And here comes the tale of Mr. Nathan Petrelli, rushing off on a steed to save the crew of the Tranquility as--ooooh, his brother gasps--you no naught what you've done!

[ Her over dramatic reenactment ends with the back of her hand against her forehead, eyes wide, gasp imminent. ]

Darling, as charming as you are, there's no need to be so serious.

I'm afraid there isn't any sort of government or law enforcement, where I'm from. So -- yes.
