[The video jumps around a little, shaky as he moves around the rec area. Thankfully he's going at a pace that can actually be seen by the human eye. The screen is just a shaky shot of the pool area, jerking a bit as he speaks.]

So, the pool. That's a really nice touch. Almost makes up for us being stuck in space. But, you know, I'm going to give it to you guys because I've always wanted a pool- well a bigger pool. We had one of those blow up kiddie things, but no one over the age of eight wants to be caught dead in that thing. Anyway, this. This is a step towards making this place less like a weird prison sentence.

What's not cool, on like the top ten list of really screwed up things about this place, is what you're lacking. You do have some issues with with rabid dogs and apparently you guys blew up a planet, like what? And while I'd really like to punch whatever lost my headphones, hey. I'll live. But the worst thing?

[Peter finally comes into view, a frowning mess of silver hair and bad fashion.]

I've not found a single Twinkie in this place. No Ding Dongs, no Ho Hos. Not even a Sno Ball. You guys are really killing me here.

Historically, sure. But it's way behind Beta Colony in terms of technological output and the Cetagandans have the big empire. It's got a weight, though, if you wanna put it like that.

( he doesn't think that's fair, considering it's the only one peter's been on. maybe. )

Well if you're as fast as you say you are, it won't.

I am putting it like that. I don't know what those places are so. Yeah. Go Earth.

[And what? No. No. This guys surely ain't dissing the speed.]

I am as fast as I say. I'm the fastest thing on this ship!

( is this how miles feels when he gets people to do what he wants, or at least tries to? ivan can see why his cousin does it so often. )

So you'll be fine. Although I believe you, you don't have to prove it to me.

( actually true. but you know, peter, don't you just want to find out if you are faster than energy weapons? )

[He does want to find out, his pride is on the line here.]

Of course I'd be fine. Got nothing to prove to anybody. But, you know. Might be fun to show it off.
