[A month without smokes. That's all it's been, but it feels like it's been a year. Sam had thought that the ability to get to a new world would give him some semblance of relief, but all it did was leave him even more disappointed and more frazzled than he was already feeling. Apparently, finding cigarettes is harder to achieve than locating lost pirate treasure.

As a last resort, he turns the people for help, and when the video turns on it reveals one Sam Drake sitting on a couch in his shared living space. His appearance could be better, and his leg shakes nervously as he travels a coin across the back of his hand to keep it busy.]


Okay, you know what? This is--this is just unbelievable. I mean, we get thrown into space, on a ship that is supposed to be advanced, and is even capable of opening portals into other worlds, and yet you're telling me that nobody at all has cigarettes? There's dinosaurs running around like rodents here, but you can't even buy a pack of cigarettes??

[Did his voice just break a little at the end of that? Clearly he's getting too frustrated, as he grabs the coin as it slips between two fingers into his palm. Sam takes a deep breath, closing his eyes as he slowly inhales and tries to compose himself. When he's ready, he looks back at the camera.]

If anybody's got anything--any information, any extra packs, or just even one--I would be extremely grateful if you could let me know. The name's Sam Drake.

Wow.

[Guess who looks torn between appalled and seriously amused?]

Oh I wasn't going to say anything.

[...but that smirk on her face isn't inspiring any confidence.]

As much as I sympathize with your predicament, [ Which isn't much ] the entire economy of this station, such as it is, is a barter economy. What do you have to offer in trade?

So desperate. Right up there with the Hindenburg and the Titanic on the scale of human tragedy.

[It's very rude. Very rude indeed. And the smirk is also not going anywhere.]

Come on Sammo, don't you feel just a tiny bit better for it though?

I guess I'm a little short on that.

Where are you?

Huh. Weird. Well your stamina's been better since you had to quit, you know. Must be doing something good for your lung capacity.

[She stops to have a look at the coin with a frown of concentration as she tries to identify it.]

17..10. Is that a peso?

The better part of a pack, yeah. [It wasn't as though Elizabeth was ever a routine smoker, but when you won't drink, one cigarette every now and again was a good way to calm her down.]

[When they'd evacuated Thisavrou, she'd taken the Moira's library, her guns, her lipstick, and her cigarettes.]


I can spare one for someone as twitchy as you seem to be.

I think you're vastly misunderstanding the balance of power here. I know how much you want it. What are you willing to give for it?
