[So we've been stuck on the poison moon for a couple months now, so a lot of people probably want to get away from that.

Unfortunately, the only place you really can get away from it besides your own ship is the Iskaulit. So, here's a June Iskaulit mingle!]

I'm definitely jealous.

The closest I get to that is watching Star Trek on TV.

You mentioned liking that before. Seems like it was really influential for you.

I wouldn't say influential - but I'm a fan of the genre. It's one of the few things I actually watch every week.

Entertaining, then. I've learned a lot about scifi since hanging out with Winn.

Is he into the genre too?

Boy, is he. He has a catalogue of knowledge about a bunch of things.

I should ask him about that . . .

But - speaking of, sort of. Have you run into anyone here that you . . . recognize from media back home?

Oh... kind of? It always seems rude to bring up.

Mm, I haven't brought it up either.

Okay, I'm glad it isn't just me. I just - it's not a situation I've experienced before.

I mean, with infinite earths, everything is possible.

That's true. I didn't really consider that until I met - someone. I suppose, in the long run, I've experienced much stranger.

Who?

Jim Kirk.

Really?

Really.

Guess what Star Trek's about.

...Captain Kirk and his friends?

That'd be it. His crew and the adventures they get into.

So... it's weird for you? Is it as you would expect?

Well, he - looks nothing like he did in the show. He looks much younger.

I don't know what I would've expected because until I met him, I didn't think it was possible.

I mean, based on the show.

It's - different? Not a bad different.

Still, it seems eerie.

It is. Also not in a bad way, but in a more surreal way.

I guess so.

Is there anyone else?

Not that I've met. Just Jim, so far.
