Who: Sam and [OPEN] to all!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: December 2nd
[When Sam wakes up, he expects to be laying in his bedroom in the bunker, tired from a particularly long case (clown, there was a clown, he's getting too old for this shit—) but nope. He opens his eyes to stare at a completely foreign ceiling, in a completely foreign bunk. He's of course in his nighttime clothes, to boot. No weapons, no phone, no nothing. Okay. He considers all kinds of possibilities, first. Djinn? Some sort of curse? Witchcraft? Maybe even some sort of dream-root-related snafu, or angels being dicks (somehow). There's also that little elephant in the room, in the back of his head: dude, you know exactly how this kind of thing plays out.
He rises up, easy to spot among a milling, small group with his six feet and four inches of [giraffe-necked] height. When he finally sees the high-tech machinery, the casual and potentially oh-so-different newbies wandering, the absurd amount of space out there — he says but one thing in front of the people around him, first and foremost, to break the ice:]
Well. Shit.
[Well shit indeed. He doesn't panic, but he does suddenly crave another vacation, somewhere without rips in space and time (if that's even the case here; maybe he's a captive to some higher power, because that wouldn't surprise him at all). When he's got the broadcasting thing down — thanks Adstringendum for the life lessons on what to do first — he begrudgingly addresses yet another audience, slipping on that polite and professional (and, okay, exasperated) aura that he's good at.]
So, show of hands. How many of you out there have fallen into other universes before? Because this sort of thing's getting kind of old.
... Did anyone from Adstringendum show up? Guys? Don't tell me the PCD's teleporting feature is going on the fritz or something. I know it was kind of too good to be true, but it was going well for a few months there. [Silly Sam, nothing stays good forever. But he hopes, y'know?] Let me know if I'm riding solo here, fellas.
And, uh. This isn't exactly my first rodeo, sure, but it's the first time I've ever... um... been in space. So I gotta ask, for my sanity: where exactly do us new spacemen go from here? Other than shooting jokes about Roswell, New Mexico.

But I do find it interesting we're supposedly here for a reality show. And that, while we're usually separated into different ships, we were recently all gathered together. I suspect we're being experimented upon. ]

[DEAR GOD NOT AGAIN
IT'S GABRIEL ALL OVER AGAIN]
What makes you suspect experimentation?

[ A pause so his "audience" will presumably have time to comply, then: ]
Those devices translate for us. They also teach us the skills needed for the "jobs" we're expected to perform after being assigned to smaller ships.
But their existence implies our captors have access to our minds.

No thank you.]
Gift and a curse, then.
It's not exactly comforting to know that they've got tabs on us.
Or that they could potentially alter things to fit some agenda.

[ The sad thing is this isn't even the first mind-control device Ken has implanted into the back of his neck. It's not even the only one he has in there right now.
What is his life. ]

Speaking from experience, huh?
I'm definitely familiar with that technique.

The name's Sam, by the way. I appreciate you taking the time to fill me in.
