So that was a "port," huh? That was some crazy-ass shit--

Oh, thank Christ.

Anyways, are you all, like, back now? Or is that one guy still flopping around on the deck thinking he's a psycho mermaid?

[Private to Claire]Didn't see you out there. Anything crazy go down for you

The fuck is a Rukz?

Uh, that psycho mermaid dude tried to drown me. Otherwise, I guess nothing. I didn't even... [He waves a hand vaguely, not sure how to express "turn into a Disney prince."] I was normal, I mean.

Figures.

[yeahscience]

...Like a Teletubby? [He's just going to stare.]

That's what happens when you go overboard? Geez. So uh... like, what happened? Did "Violet" hit her head or stick her finger or whatever it was supposed to be?

[bargemods]

[After a little while, the Barge (or maybe it's just Jesse's room) gently shudders once-- twice-- three times. If Jesse's paying attention, he might just catch a little self-satisfied chuckle coming from somewhere above his head.]

[yeahscience]

[Ffffffffffffffffffff--]

[bargemods]

[Oh, yeah, that's definitely the Admiral laughing.]

[restoringhonor]

[Dryly:] Not that I've noticed.

[yeahscience]

Too bad. That woulda been pretty funny. [And also some just desserts, Merfect :|].

You ever find your inmate? Uh... Vanessa, right?

[restoringhonor]

Yeah. She's pretty upset.

[yeahscience]

How come? It... didn't seem so bad back there.

[timesbureaucrat]

[Narvin is pretending that port never happened. Conducting warden/inmate business is a good distraction.]

Yes, all right.

But if I catch you doing anything underhanded behind my back [like secretly making killer robots with death rays] you're out.

Private

[yeahscience]

Yeah, yeah. I got it. No problem. [He's definitely not going to use the lab resources to make narcotics! No sir.]

When do we start? [He's going to need to, like... read about physics, probably.]

Private

[timesbureaucrat]

I'll give you a tour of the lab tomorrow afternoon and start your training.

Provided, of course, that there isn't a disaster going on.

Private

[yeahscience]

Sounds good, Boss. Or, uh. What should I call you? Mr. Narvin?

[justareverie]

That was trippy. I was wonderin' if it had affected you.

[yeahscience]

...You were? How come?

[justareverie]

Well, from what I see, everybody's crazy Disney selves were no coincidence. And a man's entitled to be curious.

[yeahscience]

I didn't change into anything, though. I was just me.

Why, what'd you think I was gonna be, old man?
