Who: Indiana Jones and cool people
Broadcast: Fleet-wide, from inside the Marsiva.
Action: Any other newcomers on the big'un
When: Now.
[Thanks to his prior conversation with one Peggy Carter, Indiana has at least a slight grasp on the situation. Now that he does, there's nothing for it but to make contact with his fellow 'passengers'. After all, there might be some slim chance he'll encounter someone he knows. Failing that, answers will do just as well.]
I've seen a lot of spooky and strange things in my time, but a fleet drifting through space is a first. [Though he's reminded of that 'job' in Roswell only a few months ago. Hardly a pleasant memory.] My name is Indiana Jones, I'm a Professor of Archaeology -- not that there's much call for it up here. I'll take any volunteers eager to fill me in on the situation.
[He stares at the communicator a bit longer, scratches at his stubbled chin, and decides to ask the inevitable.]
Just tell me it's not the Soviets. [Because dammit, he's retired from the spy business.]

[Someone who doesn't have much call for academia period, perhaps? Or someone who sees the value in learning something by hand so that you don't have to depend on a device which has been put in your brain without your consent.]
no subject
[Not that he's exactly looking to pick up a teaching gig just now.]

Then I say that learnin' how ta do somethin' on your own, so it sticks, is way better than the information bein' put in your brain. Especially when ya never know just how long that information's gonna stay, as it is, in your brain.

[This is not permanent.]

[Though he might be interested in the ratings boost? ...nah, give it a couple of months. New people to places like this were only ever really interested in one thing: Getting the heck out.
Not that she could blame them. But five years in quasi-mad-science-land did tend to put a damper on that sense of urgency.]
