[ 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???? ]

[His tech tells him he can stay a week on the Ingress Complex - he's not feeling it.

Bryan was born and raised in metal can floating in space. Maybe he missed it sometimes, but once he'd had the ground beneath his feet, it'd felt like home. Might be because he was from farm station and he could actually do some real good on a planet with dirt and room to grow, but he didn't think people were really meant to spend their whole lives in the stars.

So he tells the love birds he's going to look around and takes the first ride down on the EN-Line to Kauto. It sparks up a ton of questions.]


Hey, name's Bryan. New to the area, fresh out of that blue tunnel.

Anyone in region one looking to make a trade? Fine company and an iou in exchange for a meal.
[The first month's stipend had to stretch, but as someone who has never eaten half the things these restaurants are advertising, he can't be blamed for asking.]

I've got a few more questions.

Anyone know anything about that storm that's got us pinned in?
What are the farms like?
Are there many people my age around?
What the hell is a tanglesnake?


[All important questions, obviously.]
