Who: Bruce Banner + anyone else!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: SS Caprine
When: June 18

[broadcast; video]

[He's managed to make the transition to the Caprine without too much difficulty, but now that's he's "settling in", Bruce is realizing just what being on a ship long term means.]

So, this is it. We just play along with this show, act like nothing is wrong, and hope we eventually get to our destination? That's optimistic. How do you manage to live on ships like this for so long? I've never- This is... it doesn't seem like a good idea.

[He smiles uneasily. He has to resist the urge to pick at his own body, making him twitch a bit. At least he hasn't had any issues so far?]

The food isn't very good either.

[Action on the SS Caprine]

[At least he's used to lab work! Bruce is relieved that is assignment is something he's familiar with (although he did manage to fly a ship once...) and he spends a good amount of time poking around at the ship's equipment, testing both what it can do and what knowledge seems to come to him, because he definitely hasn't worked on a space ship like this before. Or worked around people this casually either. Not to mention the enclosed space makes him very aware of how tight it would be if he were bigger.

That's a great thought.]

[...]

You can't imagine anything worse than this?

I don't have that kind of self-control.

Anyway, I won't tell you if you'd rather not think about it.

Everybody says stuff like that, but I don't think I've ever met a member of the Fleet who wasn't a big deal one way or another. [Himself included. He wasn't the hero of his own slice of reality--the villain, more like. What he still doesn't understand is why Atroma would want to risk everything by bringing him aboard.

Speaking of which:]


Some people lost their homes. Some people lost everything - and I mean everything ever - and there's no getting it back. So the Fleet is like a second chance at life, and yeah, you can think that's sad if you want.
