When: Now until he gets shuffled like the deck of cards he is! (What?)

Hi. So, this is not what I was expecting today. [He was expecting some additional rest and recovery after the last few days. Instead, he feels mysteriously good as new.] I'd just heard some great things about Netflix, and I was looking forward to chilling with it. [Someone may have missed giving him the full explanation and context of that phrase. Ooooor maybe they didn't.]

I am getting tired of being the one who always gets abducted. Winn and Alex could take turns too. Just saying.

[A soft sigh. He's staying in pretty good spirits despite everything, but he's wondering if this is doing him any good.] Is anyone even listening to this?

[And just in case someone is.] My name is Mon-El.

[Oh, wait.]

Mike!

I meant Mike. [Almost definitely no one noticed that. It was very smooth. He'll just turn this off now.]

Listening, yeah. So do I call you Mon-El-Mike or what? Either way, welcome and try not to die of boredom over there.

[spacebro]

Yeah, about that, we can just go with Mon-El.

Is it that bad over here? [He's going to be stir crazy before he gets shuffled, isn't he?] I haven't seen anyone else yet. Is that normal?

[notanoptimist]

You'll be fine. [He waves a hand, unconcerned, really.] Yeah, it's quiet. I was over there for a week or so before I was assigned to the Caprine.

[spacebro]

Was anyone else around while you were here?

[notanoptimist]

One other person. I kept to myself for the most part, though.

[spacebro]

I haven't found anyone yet. Is it bad that I'm already bored and it hasn't been a day yet?

[notanoptimist]

Well... at least you can talk to people. Good luck.

[spacebro]

Thanks. I think I might need it. What's your name? [You already know both of his!]

[notanoptimist]

Leonard McCoy, doctor on the Caprine.

[spacebro]

Doctor? They bring a little of everyone here.

[notanoptimist]

So I've heard. You'd think we were some sort of endangered species or something, the way people have been going on about having a doctor around.

[spacebro]

[He laughs.] I needed one just before I came here, so it sounds good to me.

[notanoptimist]

Please tell me that you're not the reckless type.

[spacebro]

That depends who you ask. I might just be unlucky. Not a fan of the reckless?

[notanoptimist]

I'm a doctor. Reckless usually just means that I have to fix something.

[spacebro]

Sure, but that's job security, right?

[notanoptimist]

I'm plenty secure without people actually tryin' to end up in my medbay.

[spacebro]

Trust me, that's never been my goal. I'm not the hero. [Even though he was going to try.]
