action
[He'd only had a short time aboard the Marsiva before he found himself transported yet again, this time onto the bridge of a much smaller, less immaculate ship. Not long enough to figure out what was going on, not even long enough to browse the network.

Sayid's new shipmates will therefore find their newest member seated at the comm station, pretty much ignoring his celebratory pudding. (Someone else can eat it, if they want.) Perhaps somewhat notably, he's dressed in clothing that could reasonably be described as archaic - leather armor over simple clothing - and yet he doesn't seem awed or confused by the technology. Even with the augment, he seems pretty damn sure about what he's doing.]

network - video
[So yeah, there's this guy in fancy leather armor on screen. His arms are crossed over his chest, the look on his face is faintly annoyed, but he's calm and collected.]

I'm starting to worry that these kidnapping situations are going to become routine for me.

[Okay, but no that frustration isn't helpful, and he needs answers more than he needs to gripe.]

I'd like to know if there's anything expected of us here - other than to be amusing - or if we're otherwise allowed to live our lives unbothered. Our lives such as they are, anyway.

[Because, you know, the last time he was unexpectedly yanked from one place to another, there were games and dying and a lot of trauma. It'd be nice if that weren't repeated.]

it's definitely strange

why disturbing though

One possible reason could be a link back to the Echoes.

let's not talk about them that's a bad idea

also i kind of doubt it i've been here for over a year and haven't seen them around at all

...Ah. Perhaps you're right.

[He hasn't entirely adjusted to the idea that people are watching this, but as soon as she says that, he picks up the implication.]

Well, I certainly hope I'm wrong. Although it still leaves me wondering why there are so many of us, then.]

i mean it kind of makes sense when you think about it? if this like an interdimensional reality tv show then they'd probably be looking for people with unique backgrounds to keep things entertaining

kyriakos is about as "unique" as you can get

Yes. It definitely was that.

Have you been here long?

over a year now

What have you made of the experience?

it's a lot safer

in a year i've had like two near death experiences which shouldn't be an accomplishment but i mean when you compare it to kyriakos is a pretty good rate

That is good to hear. We could all do with a little less of that kind of experiance.
