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.

Just because he's loud, doesn't mean he isn't private.

privacy doesn't exist around people like me.

[ A metahuman who can hear a whisper in another country, who can hear a pulse quicken when a person tells a lie. And a hacker who can make her way under, over, and through most of the security systems native to her homework.

It's not an exaggeration.

[ He doesn't question it. Erik has already given up enough of himself to her, that the specifics no longer matter; she's one of them. ]

Good. I'd be concerned about my own privacy, but I think we've already established that.

I can handle Peter.

You owe me another conversation. I'll trade.

[ It's the sometimes that got to him. ]

Indeterminate. I'd say 50-50.

[ More like both; he's like them, which means Erik is obligated to earn both of those from him. ]

being brothers could mean a complication.

[ Or it could mean their benefit. It was hard to tell, this early in the game. ]

It's always a complication. I've had that happen.

[ Though not brothers by blood; Charles was a brother by species. ]
