arrival
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.]

Sometimes not saying anything doesn't work out the way I want it to. Usually I- I remove myself from the situation.
[ Except he can't. Not this time. ]

( Sansa sighs a bit. She wants to help, desperately, but she doesn't know how to help in ways other than what works for her. )
You can remain on your ship and choose not to go down to the planets. That eliminates some risk? But it also prevents you from getting nicer food or nicer clothing.
no subject
[He almost stops himself from saying that, but then says it anyway. There's no way to avoid it.]
Have you tried? To get away?
[Through the shuttles or anything else. It's worth asking.]
no subject
( She pauses for a moment, thinking. )
Others may have tried to escape, though. Perhaps we should ask around?
no subject
[That's a thought he's been tossing around, wondering how safe the Fleet is compared to everything else he's seen.]
Maybe we should. Some people must want to get back to wherever they came from. This just seems... off.
no subject
( Sansa pauses for a moment, uncertain if she should say anything. )
I don't want to go back. It's better here for me than anyone else. I think that makes me a coward.
