[In the time since he was released from Zero, Scorpius has been spending the majority of his days in the library. The availability of knowledge from other universes is too irresistable to ignore, and much of his time is spent cataloging facts and figures he feels may be useful to him in the coming time]

The enormous accessibility of resources even to known prisoners on this ship continues to amaze me. I wonder if I might entreat on a warden who would be able to provide a personal databank? It's far easier than writing notes by hand.

Additionally, I would be interested to learn if anyone has bothered to map out the Barge's destinations ahead of schedule, or started to plan for each flood and port we encounter. It seems to be on a rotating cycle.

And there are still concepts I come across every day whose meanings continue to elude me. I have seen...[He pauses to double-check the name he's written down] Abbott and Costello's 'Who's on First' three times and each subsequent viewing leaves me more perplexed.

John, if this data reel is any indication of your species' intelligence, I don't know whether to feel superior or afraid.

[Private to Catra]

Have you tracked Crichton's meal cycles yet?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yeah. And he's just itching to crack my brain open to get at it.

[And just recently he'd tried, literally. Which makes hearing that Scorpius is asking around about human psychology concerning in ways he doesn't really want to think too hard about.]

If I may ask, who do you associate with aboard the ship?

[The question catches him off balance.]

Why?

I am not without allies, neither are you. I wish to determine an overlap.

[i.e. can you he trust you human B(]

Fine.

Aeryn Sun: she's from my home [if not his time in it] and she's an inmate here. Her warden is Alex Summers, and I trust him. There's Stephanie Brown, also an inmate and Dean Winchester. He's a warden, and he knows what's going on with Scorpius.

I've made casual acquaintance with some others around, but those are the people I'd trust to go to for help.

Mr. Winchester [he does a quick check of Dean's broadcasts and finds the one about the port. Hm.] and Ms. Brown - regardless of her status - are trustworthy. I will accept your testimony.

If you have more information I would appreciate hearing it as promptly as possible.

Thank you.

[He thinks a moment on that.]

There are details I'm leaving out. But I have my reasons. I'm sure you can understand my need for caution. But there's one more thing. Scorpius can read energy signatures, and it makes him very good at telling when someone is being less than fully truthful. Something to keep in mind.

Vulcans do not lie. I have nothing to fear.

[He understands and moreover, approves of the need for caution. This is a strange ship, not everybody is what they seem.]

I know. But humans do. And those friends I mentioned, they can and probably do. Scorpius can tell. So it's worth knowing about.

I understand. Thank you.

You are welcome to call on me for assistance if required. I suspect I am physically more capable.

[Physically more capable?! Okay, just this once, he's gonna let that go. Because he likes you Spock.]

If he starts getting uppity, I might just do that.

[What, you don't want to see Scorpius getting nerve-pinched? Come on, Crichton.]

Additionally, if you are willing, I would be interested in these living ships. We have not encountered anything like it.

[That's one of the reasons why he likes you Spock. Also, he'll make you a freaking friendship bracelet if you do the nerve pinch on Scorpius for him to see. He'll make it by hand!]

Sure. I can tell you what I know.

In person, if you do not mind?

It's not the kind of conversation to have long distance anyways.

Where can I find you?

[EEE he's gonna meet Spock in person! Ahem...sorry.]

[He would usually say the mess hall, but he has little interest in being publicly seen with Crichton so soon after his conversation with Scorpius. His quarters... well it's his space, but it's not like Crichton is living there.]

My cabin: level eight, room three. If you are concerned for your safety, we may meet elsewhere.

You said Vulcans don't lie.

So, you planning to jump me and hand me off to Scorpius if I come meet you in your cabin?

We do not.

I have no intention of "jumping you" and handing you to Scorpius.

Great. Then I'll see you in your cabin.

In an hour. Please be punctual.

[And ta-dah.]
