001. video; Public Service Announcement
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.

[ she sees that diss against her bro, too.. ] Do you always try and antagonize everyone right off the bat? Because I've been here since the first jump any of us remember, and I can honestly say it's a new approach.
Snapped neck, stake through the heart. [ shrugging like it's nothing. (it isn't.) ] I didn't get better until here, which is something else you missed. Not all of us can go home.

[ As for antagonising everyone-- ]
And how's that working out for you? You've got a bunch of kois in your fishpond who nibble at the edges but are too afraid to go beyond their limits, and so far what have you got to show for it? You're terrified, thanks to whatever the hell's been happening on board between jumps, you're afraid to stray from the marked path, never go anywhere alone if you can avoid it, and hardly any of you have seen the Captain. If your nice guys aren't working out for you, then get an orca and throw yourself outta the water to see what's really happening, because what you've got so far is making ripples when you oughta be making waves.
Listen, I do what I have to do to get things done. I don't sit on my hands and keep my voice down and play nice. A good politician has gotta be ready to put everything on the line and shake things up, and shaking things up is what Petrellis do best. It grates a lot of people the wrong way, but a little dented pride ain't gonna kill them.

Well, if I didn't believe you were a politician before I do now. [ one eyebrow quirks. ] But I'm a registered Democrat, and my vote still swings to the "you don't know the stakes" party. No offense, but you just got here. Telling us all we're stupid isn't the best way to get yourself space's first senate seat.
[ and now a grin that might be described as smug. ] And I already voted for Kirk.

I'm joking, case it's hard to tell. Military background, ADA, I reckon I know how to take orders when I need to, so please believe me when I say this isn't about politics, nor even pride. If Kirk's your man, and not a figment of everyone's imagination, and if he can keep his damn shirt on, then great.

Yeah, I don't think so. After what he said to me in the locker room, I'm not sorry. Not right now at least, and definitely not 'til he apologises first.

...I invited him to come by and meet my niece. If you change your mind on that need to apologize, I'm room sixteen on the floor with the rest of the first wave.

I'm sorry, that was rude. I don't think I caught your name?
