[There's nothing interesting going on here in this rather plain bedroom. Not too many posters, but there are labels on everything that describe actions like turn off the light, make the bed, turn off alarm. In addition to those labels, there's a young man whose alarm clock is blaring at the top of its mechanical lungs until he rolls over and slaps it into silence. He slowly drags himself out of bed, shirtless with a long scar running down from the nape of his neck across his shoulder and down his arm, and shuffles to the closest window, pushing the curtain aside to place his hand against the glass. He stands there for a moment as a confused frown forms on his face, only to shove the drapes back and come face to face with... space. The final frontier.

It's not what Chris Pratt expected. It's supposed to be Kansas City out there.

He hurries back to bed, knocking off knickknacks off his nighttable until he comes across a small notebook with a red cover. Chris flips through it once, twice, three, and then a fourth time, looking for something that isn't there. And in a fit of something that's a mixture of panic, fear, and frustration, he throws the notepad across the room and begins stomping towards the door.]


Where the fuck am I? Lewis? Lewis!

[You're welcome, bro.]

Just follow the sound. Do you see anything weird or out of place here? A small device, should be able to fit in your hand...

[Arthur sighs and starts up the feed again.]

Well, at least you found it.

...Yeah.

[He pauses, trying to consider what to say next.]

Before you ask, we're not related.

It's just a coincidence.

I'm a warden. [Pause] There are two kinds of people here: wardens and inmates. Inmates are people who've died-- or come close to it-- and need some guidance before they can go back to their lives. Wardens are the ones who're supposed to look after them. Judging by your confusion, I'd say you were an inmate.

You may be. I couldn't answer that for sure. What I can tell you is that this place is a second chance; you do what it takes to graduate, and you're free to go

You could say that. It certainly feels like one sometimes.

There aren't really any classes here. Most inmates get a job, help around the ship. You spend a lot of time working one-on-one with your warden.

[Precioussss-- not that Arthur thinks so. But.]

Well, we have a maintenance crew here. And inmates work on the meal shifts. Some help out in the greenhouse, library and other areas. Any of that sound appealing?

[Secret relief from KING OF THE LIBRARY. He doesn't really want to work with his identical twin.]

It's just something to think about. You don't have to work anywhere-- not unless your warden assigns you.
