I knew I should have looked up 'reality shows' a few months back.

[ The man who appears on the screen is currently looking at what seems to be a little notepad before adding the word 'space' next to the words 'reality tv'. Really, he could have done this space setting if it included an inter-galactic war or helping planets in peril.

But in all honesty, Steve Rogers: entertainer has never been his career choice and it's not his forte, either. At least now the whole thing doesn't include singing and girls in scandalously short skirts. ]

My name is Steve Rogers, currently aboard the SS Pathstone. I've done a little bit of reading while aboard the Marsiva. I understand there are those who are trying to help the people on the moon we're visiting, if there is anything you need, I'd do whatever I can do to help.

[ you might catch a glimmer of red and blue and silver just behind him. A wink as the light hits metal ]

The same goes for going home. I imagine people have already looked into ways for us to leave this place. No one should be taken anywhere against their will. I'd like to hear about the information you have managed to collect and I'll do everything I can to make sure everyone will be able to go home safely.

[ you all get a little smile. he's so awkward at these things, can you tell by now. ]

I heard I've missed quite a party.

[ it is and unheard, unseen, he sighs his own frustration too.

not at bucky, never that just at the entire situation. ]

it'll come.

how long have they been holding you here?

text;;

[reconstitution]

Eleven months.

[uprightness]

What is the last thing you remember

before this place?

text;;

[reconstitution]

The bridge.

text;;

[uprightness]

[ he sighs, rubs a hand over his face and the only thing he can think to tell him, once again is ]

I'm sorry


I know I put you through a lot.

text;;

[reconstitution]

I know what happens after. You told me everything. The helicarriers. My team.. Pierce.

text;;

[uprightness]

It's long over.

I've been trying to find you.

text;;

[reconstitution]

You won't. You'd said you've been looking for two years.

text;;

[uprightness]

Sounds about right.

I will.

eventually.

[ because god knows he'll never stop ]

text;;

[reconstitution]

We'll see.

[uprightness]

Winter

you know I don't mean any harm to you

I just want us to talk

text;;

[reconstitution]

Then talk.

text;;

[uprightness]

Not through these.

[ it's not a conversation that can happen over these devices, he suspects Winter already knows as much ]

text;;

[reconstitution]

Heron. Cargo bay. Thirty minutes.

text >> action;

[uprightness]

[ he's there exactly on time. not a minute before or after. he knows better than surprising Winter. stepping out of the shuttle, he nods at him. ]

How big is the crew aboard this ship?

action;

[reconstitution]

[ He's in the cargo bay waiting for Steve by the time he gets there, offering a nod in return. ]

Nine including myself. Capacity for ten.

action;

[uprightness]

That's a good number.

[ a nod ]

it has all you need?

action;

[reconstitution]

It's sufficient. Most facilities are fully upgraded.

[ His gaze flicks around the cargo bay, shrugging a shoulder. ]

Could do without the cold, but nothing can be done about it.

action;

[uprightness]

The crew has sufficient clothes and blankets?

[ he looks around, too ]

it's not bad. Much better than the Marsiva. The constant music was --

[ entirely too annoying.]

distracting.

action;

[reconstitution]

Yes. We restock at the stations or some of the planets.

[ He makes a face, recalling the unpleasant first stay on the Marsiva. ]

..Agreed.

action;

[uprightness]

Was there anything useful on the moon to take?

[ he leans on the wall of the cargo bay, arms folded ]

There's not much here but the people seem kind.

Re: action;

[reconstitution]

Not much. Knife cleaning kit, small repair tools. The station before was better.

[ Winter shifts where he stands, sending with himself before he looks back at Steve. Belatedly, he remembers his manners. ]

Do you want something to drink? Or anything?

action;

[uprightness]

They seem to be big on their brand of medicine.

[ and - little dolls that also wear gas masks which steve finds entirely too creepy and not at all good as souvenirs.

he has to smile at the offer. ]

Non-toxic water might be nice.

action;

[reconstitution]

[ Winter turns, heading down the main hallway. The halls are still a little chilly, but once they enter the kitchen, the wall panels are a soft, inviting color in contrast to the harsh chrome just outside.

He motions for Steve to sit. ]

Water, tea, or coffee?

action;

[uprightness]

[ he has to smile a little at the question. really, Winter, surely you can guess that the answer will always be the same. ]

Coffee will be great.

[ he looks around the room ]

You're captain.
