I still don't understand that. ( the being watched thing, naturally. it's like big brother in space. :| ) We can't be so interesting that someone would want to watch us run around like mice in a cage.

( okay, so being on different ships and things doesn't exactly equate the caged-in feeling of mice, but he likes to think it's a good enough metaphor that it'll get his point across. )

That's ... one word for it, yeah. ( he gives a tiny little laugh. ) But I'm going to do what I can with it, and hopefully I'll end up making something everyone will like.
