For the people working the breakfast shift, I apologize for the mess. I wasn't myself during that flood for a lot longer than I wanted, but I just cleaned up the last of it. If there's anything missing or broken that I didn't get to, let me know and I'll take care of it, okay?

Major? We should talk. When you're ready. I'll be in my cabin.

[Private to Rube]

You all right?

[Private to Ralphie]

Care for a drink?

[He scoffs]

That's unlikely. I wouldn't want to hear about any story starring myself.

I don't think I would, either. [She shrugs.] Stories end, and I don't think mine or yours is finished yet.

No, I'm quite certain mine was finished when my face was torn to shreds.

[She realizes there's no overly sensitive way to put this, and it's not likely to go well that she's defending the purpose of this place, again.] Then would you be here?

My being here has nothing to do with a 'story'.

Oh, calm down. You know that's not what I'm suggesting at all.

Then what were you suggesting?

Nothing. If you were really done, then, you wouldn't be here now. That would have been the end.

I see. [He doesn't quite buy it]

Well -- no one can really be sure of that. [She frowns.] We get glimpses sometimes of what other fates there are. Rube said he worked pretty close to it before he came here, but even then they were never assured of what really came after -- just that there was something.

Well, I hope whatever it is is better than this.

[She looks a little distant at that.] It has to be.

I think, if anything, the Barge has proven that it absolutely does not have to be.

[She mutters] Were it not for hope.

[She stands up, then.] I'm glad we had this talk, Henry. If you still want to work in Security, I'm fine with it. I think you'll do well there.
