Hello. You're the anthropologist.

I just learned what white people are. The concept doesn't exist where I come from. Does that sound impossible to you?

[snaggleteeth]

Ah. We have some of that, with nonhuman species. But most of our planets don't have the concept of race within humans to begin with. Some are 'monoracial.'

This mean you are from Earth? Just not from when Patrick Swayze and American media imperialism dominated the culture?

is "mike" the kinda thing you deck people for, or do you have any nicknames?

[cassian doesn't regret trying; they had to know more than the lies this place was telling them. but he does regret, the instant that the doors to the house slam shut and everything goes wrong, that three people are trapped out there. it's like scarif all over again, when he'd listened to all the lines on his comlink go silent one by one, and he'd known exactly what that had meant, what he'd led all those people to.

he's not stupid enough to think that isn't a possibility here and now, too.

the witch he doesn't know at all, and the woman who'd helped pull him out of the lake, barely more than that. out of that number, michael is the one he's most familiar with, so he sends:]

What's going on out there? Is everyone okay?

Hello, Michael.

I'm told you're one-upping me in scientific rigor with a vengeance. To be honest, I hope you beat me soundly. That all this is worth it in the end.

I'd tell you not to be afraid, but fear is just the desire to live. Be brave. See you on the other side.

[ Lockdown has begun. News of it has yet to catch but it won't be long; people are always flitting in and out of the house. Until his involvement becomes public, he's using every available resource in security to find a single open door or window. ]
