Okay, to save time, my name is James T. Kirk. I'm the Captain of the USS Enterprise. I've decided to come here as a Warden... to come back as a Warden?

[He has to ponder this for a moment.]

Honestly, I know I was here before but I must've been wasted the entire time because I don't remember any of it. So fill me in. What happened, what I'd do.

If you have no idea either, then hi. Nice to meet you.

Wow. Did you get cookies, too?

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

Unfortunately, no.

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

I didn't either. Stingy boss. [He waves, smiles pleasantly.] I'm Sam.

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

Pleasure to meet you, Sam.

Especially since I don't have to awkwardly ask if you're an Inmate or not now.

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

And I don't have to ask whether you'd mind a few drinks now and then when this place gets crazy. I was on an island with pirates yesterday.

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

I heard about the pirates.

Still lacking an explanation.

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

They called it a breach. Not much of one.

[A shrug. He rolls with it.]

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

Like a breach in the hull?

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

I guess. I don't know that much about ships.

[Private] -his brother's name is sam i just remembered

[captain_jtkirk]

Hmm.

So where are you from, Sam?

[Private] - oh dear

[unknownsoldier]

Earth, 2019. I'm guessing that's way different from where you're from.

[Private] - they are meant to be bros

[captain_jtkirk]

Earth, 2258. Well, the starship Enterprise technically but that's a recent development.

[Private] - a disaster waiting to happen

[unknownsoldier]

So you're from space too, huh? What you guys do up there anyway?

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

The same thing the old explorers did. Travel all over the place and see new things and meet new people, and sometimes fuck it up but hopefully most of the time it goes well.

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

[How nice that must be, he thinks. To wander, and not run.]

Most of the time? What happens the other times?

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

People die.

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

[Mildly:] You really know how to lay on the charm.

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

Not point in sugar coating it.

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

[Zack appreciates that.]

The risks are worth it, right?

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

The losses have been worth it so far.

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

That's a yes?

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

It's a yes.

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

Some things are worth it.
