last voyages // 7. video. no filter except for t-x.

[ audio; filtered to jesse ]

I'd really resent having to ask whoever the frak your Warden is about where you've got to, so you'd best actually be missing.

[ ... :c ]

[ video; public ]

[ Here would be a description of how stressed and anxious Gaius looks, but a) when isn't he, and b) so is most of everyone, and c) he didn't even do anything apart from hide in his cabin possibly clutching a steak knife. He has his far share of healing scrapes and bruises, and is back into his cigarettes. ]

Are we missing anyone, after all that? I'm-- checking in about where Jesse Pinkman happens to be.

And while I'm here, I'd also like to thank the management for an absolutely phenomenal weekend.

[ No. ]

I'm fine, by the way.

[ Allows the smallest of smirks, less at the joke itself, more that Capa made it. ]

Who knows, someone's bound to have had a good time. Certainly the impostor.

You were one of that lot, then.

Mmhmm. He did...at our expense. [Capa turns serious for a moment.]

I was. It wasn't anything like I expected. This ship is vast. [A pause.] Also illogical.

Of course.

[ But of course, you don't get to be any kind of academic without curiousity. He taps ash off his cigarette, and asks; ] What'd you see?

[He has enough sense left in him to change the filter, at least.] Floors that turned hot and disappeared. Corridors that twisted and turned when you looked at them differently.

Like being inside the sun again, only...nothing made sense.

[ Hard to say where the morphine ends and Capa begins, but Gaius will assume the latter, particularly with the filter switch. Being inside the sun-- ]

Rules pertaining to dimension seem to be rather relaxed, at best, and it makes me wonder about the Barge's measurable size, if it has one.

So, nothing made sense, unlike the inside of the sun?

I'm inclined to think that it doesn't have one. At least not a set one.

[Hm. The sun.]

Well, yes. It made sense because I was inside of the sun. We weren't inside of a sun. So it didn't make sense. [Yeah, even he pauses there to try and figure out what he just said.]

Right, of course, I could've worked that one out.

Did you find your friend?

I did, actually. He's in Zero. [ Vaguely unhappy about this, in a reserved sort of way. ] Suppose it got lost in the shuffle.

Oh. Why? [He is not aware that this might be a personal question.]

Some scuffle during all the mess. I think someone's got it in their head he's there for his own protection.

And his warden hasn't taken him out? That doesn't sound fair. He should be safe now.

Shouldn't he? [All this talking is making him strangely dizzy.]

He should be.

I don't know any more than that, but I'm finding out. As for you, I don't think today's a day for thinking very hard, Robert.

Maybe not. [A pause.] You know...not a lot of people use my name.

Well, you don't call me Baltar. No one does unless there's a 'Doctor' attached or they're angry at me.

But everyone calls me Capa. Except for Hayley. And Alice. They called me Robert.

[He lets out a soft laugh. This is obviously funny.] So you're the only one left.

You're easily amused. At least someone's in good cheer, chemical or otherwise. I'll call you whichever you prefer, Dr. Capa.

For now. I don't like doctors or infirmaries much. But the medicine is worth it.

And Robert. Stick with Robert.

Sorted.

Is it death toll or otherwise?

A concussion. And blood loss. And exhaustion. Apparently. I wasn't exactly paying much attention.

But I didn't die this time.

Could always be worse, then. [ When 'not dying' is the silver lining. ]

Yes. At least this way, I can leave when I want. [Brave words from a man who is currently awake and not in pain only because of the drugs circulating in his system.]

I'm sure the medics would love to hear that.

Shh. [And he actually put a finger to his lips.] They don't have to know.

But I should go to sleep, or they might find out.

They won't hear it from me, rest assured.

Or just rest.
