( been a while since you've seen or heard from this one, hasn't it? well, he's been making his rounds, that's for sure, but he's about to bring something to your attention that he's almost positive no one else has bothered to make a note of. )

Okay, so I've gotten on board with the whole I'm-on-a-space-reality-show thing. That's not the problem here. ( he clears his throat. ) The problem is that we're supposed to be getting paid for this junk, right? Has anybody bothered checking their bank account lately?

( and here you will find a pause for dramatic effect. )

Anybody tried to find out why our assets are frozen? I mean, this is a serious oversight. Is there some kind of upper management or somebody in human resources I can talk to?

( joker … now is probably not the time to be asking these sorts of questions.

but if he doesn't ask them, who will? huh? )

Oh, well, yeah. That I've been doing. It's just -- ( vague hand-wavy motion here. ) I guess worrying is a good way to put it.

My vote's more on aggravating, though.

I guess I just wasn't terribly surprised. I mean, they obviously want us to think we have a certain amount of autonomy, but in the end, we're still prisoners here.

I guess they didn't think we'd be very entertaining if we actively knew we were being held hostage. ( essentially. that's how he sees it. you don't allow him to go home? you're holding him hostage.

well, he's got one hell of a ransom on his head if he wants to be rescued. he's worth that much. )

You been keeping busy since I last saw you? ( or out of trouble? please don't say you have, because that's not interesting at all. )

I think it's self-evident that we're prisoners, given that we've all been kidnapped here, regardless of how much personal freedom we're given.

[ Maybe the Atroma - whoever or whatever they are - consider themselves on some level benevolent, but she doubts many people on the fleet see it that way. ]

Mostly I've been working. What with the frozen accounts, and the fact that you need money to do just about anything on this station.
