[The water at Alkali Lake is cold. The water surrounding this damn turtle isn't any better. Logan is freezing his perfectly sculpted buns off when the Kedan haul him out of the water and is thankful when they drop this itchy blanket on him. He doesn't sleep on his way to his suite and about 95% of what the Kedan tell him about his new residence is dismissed as irrelevant. He's not planning to stick around long.

Once he's home, the Kedan give him a fresh set of the local threads and Logan's still thankful. Even more so when they're finally gone. He takes a few moments to take a look around his suite. The console is the last thing he approaches and it takes a few tries but he finally manages to get the thing working.

The camera begins to record and it captures Logan glaring in the lens.]

I don't give a damn who you people think you are. Send me back. Now.

[And this is about the time John would tell Logan to be nice.]

'You people' is way to much of a generalization, you know.

[video]

[idkmybffcyclops]

You in charge?

[He remembers the Kedan mentioning something about an emperor. Or Lady-In-Tights or something.]

[video]

[plumlucky]

No way. I'm Stephanie. The one in charge, that's the Emperor. She sometimes holds open sessions, if you want to talk to her.

[hackingyoursensors]

You're yelling at the wrong people. The consoles only connect you to other castaways like us.

[He's trying out words other than "foreigner." "Prisoner" sounds too pessimistic.]

[video]

[idkmybffcyclops]

[Didn't ask for your name, kid. Logan looks decidedly frustrated. Well, more frustrated than when this recording started.]

I'm lookin' for a man named Victor. You heard of him?

[video]

[plumlucky]

[Too bad you got it anyway. :D]

No. I don't know anyone by that name.

[video]

[idkmybffcyclops]

Who do I need to talk to?

[Barely contained rage is barely contained.]

[video]

[idkmybffcyclops]

What about Stryker?

[He needs to get dead too.]

[video]

[plumlucky]

Definitely not. Sounds like something out of a movie.

Who are you, anyway?

[video]

[hackingyoursensors]

[Luckily, he's used to people with anger management issues.]

The Emperor, most likely. She holds an audience once a month. I wouldn't get my hopes too high, though. I don't think she will send you home just like that.

[video]

[idkmybffcyclops]

[You know what. YOU KNOW WHAT? Logan is this close to just disconnecting. Instead he just scrubs a hand over his face.]

Logan.

[video]

[plumlucky]

I know it's frustrating. I'm sorry. We're all in similar situations. Stuck here, can't go home...

[video]

[idkmybffcyclops]

Yeah we'll see.

[video]

[idkmybffcyclops]

The hell do they want from me anyway?

[video]

[hackingyoursensors]

I know it's hard to believe, but it's actually not bad here. We get free rooms and everything.

You're a charmer. Send a post card back from the other side if that demand starts working.

[video]

[plumlucky]

I don't know. I don't think anyone really knows. The Emperor just says we're here for a purpose, but I'm not sure what it is.

[Video]

[myothertights]

[Have a squinting face. He should start a 'New Arrival Bingo' card going.]

Making demands isn't exactly the way to go. Making demands to people in the same situation as you is even worse.

[video]

[idkmybffcyclops]

Shit.

[His head drops for a moment. This is really frustrating.]

[flawedgoods]

[Guess who's totally not impressed?]

Do strangers commonly jump all over themselves to do as you say when you speak to them as such?

[video]

[plumlucky]

...

Maybe get an audience with the Emperor when she does it again? I mean, she's kind of uptight but I like her.

video

[sophos]

If we had control over that, do you think any of us would still be here?

[video]

[idkmybffcyclops]

This is bullshit.

[Oh are you a kid? Sorry. But it IS bullshit.]

video;

[idkmybffcyclops]

Piss off.

[Video]

[idkmybffcyclops]

Yeah I get that. Ask the people in charge.
