[ see john murphy. see what looks like the interior of a very fancy treehouse behind him, as the tab sits propped up on a sink faucet, murphy in front of what looks like an electric stove (no gas fires in the tree houses, okay). he's turning the knobs and frowning as he talks, distracted, but multitasking well enough. ]

Show of hands, how many here actually want to head back to their world? [ he's asking with what seems like a bored drawl. it's just how he talks, okay. ] How many think they have it better here?

[ murphy and emori certainly do, but that isn't the sole issue. there's bryan, and if emori weren't here, murphy knows he'd be doing everything to get back to earth with her. they can't ask him to stay without nate. so - ]

Have they said anything about being able to pull people through to this place from your homeworld, once they lock onto it? [ or how many can be pulled through? because who knows if bryan wants just nate, or all of skaikru. which seems like more of a pain in the ass than murphy wants, but thisavrou is a big place. easy to avoid the others. ]

Last one - anyone know how to use this? Like, for food making?

[ he knows what a stove is and what it's used for, it's just the how he's concerned with - the actual cooking part. the Ark had rationed food tabs, and on the ground they just used campfires. how do appliances??? halp???? ]

I'm still trying to work it all out, but if they could send us back it doesn't sound like it would be too difficult to bring others here. They got us here.

[rekt]

yea p sure they probly CAN do it
wat i want to kno is will they

[ not everyone likes taking in refugees ]

[polyphobic]

They might need a reason to.

[rekt]

wat do u figure ull offer?
work seems liek a standrd
ez 2 exploit that tho

[ easy to end up in indentured servitude ]

[polyphobic]

I wouldn't offer them anything. I don't have anyone I'd want to bring here.
You might need to do a specific job, or something to show loyalty.

[rekt]

jobs included in what i ment by offer
seems like the most likely option tho

[polyphobic]

As long as you're willing to do what they want it would be fine.

[rekt]

r u assuming itd b fine or do u kno itd b fine?

[polyphobic]

Assuming. You'd have to make the choice.

[rekt]

if/when it actual ends up relevant ill let u know

[polyphobic]

Finding out what they want now could help for if/when that happens.

[rekt]

guess so

[ it could also let them know they have leverage over him, that he wants something from them, and he'd rather not make that obvious. ]

ill consider it
