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.

[ Oh. yeah that was a bad life choice, he was a lot more naive a year ago, give him a second. ]

Because I knew I could do something, I just hadn't figured out my abilities yet. And I wanted to... prove myself. I thought it would mean something. [ it did. Nathan flew, but... it's complicated. ] Looking back on it, it wasn't one of my more intelligent decisions. Took me awhile longer before I figured out flying wasn't even what I could do.

You're a lucky bastard in that case.

[because yeah, dude, that was pretty stupid. no wonder your brother sees it the way he does. though Jason, also, firmly understands Peter's side of the story.]

So what can you do?

[ okay yeah, he knows it was stupid. now he does. nathan was still the one who flew, and then the one who dropped him and landed him in the hospital. ]

I used to be an empath. I sort of... picked up the abilities of the people around me. I could do a hell of a lot more than just fly.

Because, I got an ability back. Should've been mine, but it's-- I can only replicate one ability at a time now.
