[ The feed doesn't kick on until one of them is moving. Two separate people on Marsiva's hospitality deck, one clean cut and dressed in a rather sharp business suit while the other looks a bit rough and tumble in his polo and jeans and multiple piercings in his eyebrow, cartilage, lobe, etc., but they seem to have come together after waking. Jordan, the clean cut one, has his arms around Alex, the rough but handsome one who looks STARTLINGLY FAMILIAR, from behind and a head on his shoulder. ]

What the fuck—?? Get off of me, stupid fucking pixie.

No. I'm looking at something. [ And it's true, he has his head tilted and a hand comes up to hold Alex's ear aside, and Jordan just huffs lightly before he lets go and holds on tight. ] How long were we asleep?

I don't care, leave me alone. [ Alex just reaches up and smacks Jordan's hands aside and growls. Not a very pleasant one, this guy is. ] What do I look like, your goddamn wristwatch? I have no fucking clue.

[ Jordan ain't even bothered. ] Are you hungry? Has it been long?

Ugh, I'm fine. Maybe if you stopped messing with my ear, you'd fucking notice this.

I've already stopped, sugarplum.

[ And he just finally looks around and. what. what is this place. where are they. ] The fuck are we? Hey, pixie bitch, the fuck did you take us? [ BECAUSE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY JORDAN'S FAULT, RIGHT? ]

... Alex, we've been here since we woke up. You know as much as I do, so why don't we look around together? [ Meaning he isn't letting you go, so there. ]

Weeks? Months? And nobody's found a fucking way home yet? That's bullshit.

We're all working together to find a solution, maybe you'll be able to find something that we all missed?

Ah, my apologies. I haven't introduced myself. My name is Nunnally. Although I'm sorry that we have to meet in these circumstances.

If I end up figuring this shit out, it'd say a hell of a lot about you guys.

[He grew up in a basement and had like. Zero education. So if he figures things out, you guys were screwed.]

Alex. [If you're expecting him to be nice, you'll be waiting a while.] It'd be pretty fucking unlikely we'd be meeting in any other, but I get the sentiment.

Mm, I'm glad you understand. [she sighs slightly] I appreciate the opportunity to meet so many fascinating people, but it always feels strange to say "pleased to meet you" with no additional qualifiers.

[anyway...] Oh, and you should know, you'll only be trapped on that large clean ship for a few more days. Once a week newcomers are moved from that ship to the various small ships that make up the fleet.

Well, this is one way to meet new people. Get kidnapped by who the fuck knows, suffer together until we escape.

Wait, a ship? The fuck kind of ship is this?

[Nunnally help, he's never been on any kind of ship before. He does not understand this.]

A spaceship. I've never been on one either before coming here.

[she's working hard to not sound condescending or judging. She really does feel for him]

But they're amazing. Like enclosed boats that sail through the stars, but much faster.

I've never even been on a boat.

Man, if they didn't fucking kidnap me, that'd be awesome, but the kidnapping ruins the whole damn experience.

[she nods. preach it dude]

It's true... We're lucky that none of us are alone in this, and there are some amazing things that we get to see out here-- but the way they ignore basic human rights is horrible.
