Transcript, Part 1:
1. R. Gerald Cross
2. Reagan
3. Umm, 38 years, counting time dilation? What month is it?
4. That ID that says gchristopher? I just paid 30 C's it on a passthrough station. Sanctuary isn't so great at background checks, I guess. They didn't ask a lot when hiring me.
5. Hah! The scratch sheet on my bunk said "Mission Specialist." I was a galley's mate, third class. If you ate something on this ship, I pro'lly peeled it!
6. It was the only job I was qualified for, and I wanted off that damn asteroid I'd been stuck on for 4 months. Plus the section chief let me keep a little grow operation up in the hydroponics.
7. I actually kinda liked the job. Not too much in the way of responsibility, get to see some wild places, pretty solid compensation package for if you get blown up. I've had worse.
8. You kiddin'? Nope, I never really talked to the bridge crew. Some of the engineers would trade for weed sometimes, though. Never figured out why a ship'd need so damn many engineers on it!
9. Heh. "Incident." That's a cute word for it. Yeah, I was out of cryo when it happened. But I was pretty heavily "medicated," if you know what I mean. I have no idea what happened.
10. Hell if I know. I thought I was on a roller coaster in one of those action-movie adventure parks. I probably passed out. I didn't come to for hours, and by then everybody else'd jumped ship. It was completely empty.
11. No really, no clue, last thing I remember before that was watching old 20th century TV and laughing my ass off. Heh, "Gilligan's Island" is fuggin great. Come to think of it, that was kinda a psychic thing to be watching, huh? Crazy.
12. What'd I do next? Well, a crash pod'd wrapped me up in a survival suit, so I was alive. Can't say as much for most've the crew. Me? I crapped my spacesuit and passed out again.
13. Uh, well, after that, I guess I had to do something. I'm in a cracked-up station covered in dead engineer guts, eating my own recycled shit. There were a bunch of tools lying around, so I grabbed a couple and a half-scrapped shuttle and went for it.
14. Naw, I've never been much for engineering. I mean, you can't spend all that time in a ship full of pinheads without learning something, but about all I ever got good at was messing with the gravity generator during shipboard cricket matches.
15. Yeah, it totally worked. Messed up their bowler big time. Hah!
16. Uhh, no, I'm not a member of any ... what'd you call them, "radical agentries?" I couldn't even get a job as a head cook.
17. That's it, I tried to get out before I got smashed up any worse, maybe find somebody else alive. There was a big manual of parts and stuff in the shuttle. I guess I tried to put stuff together from that.
18. No. That's all I know. Can I have some real food now?
