[Unus is on deck, motioning to the stars around him.]

What the hell is this? Some kinda trick of Xavier's? First he gets his little freak to swallow me, then he sticks me in some dump in space? He thinks this is enough to get rid of me? [Pffth, he's from Marvel comics. The concept of living in space isn't shocking to him.] This place ain't gonna hold me forever. [He thrusts a thumb to his chest.] Genosha's my island, you hear me? Soon as I get out of here, I'm takin' it back, and Baldy and his little friends ain't gonna stop me!

[He cracks his knuckles and looks around, losing steam.]

What is this place, anyway? [He taps the camera.] Can anyone hear me?

Okay, let me reword that: You're alive so long as you're on the boat or anywhere the boat stops. Think of the Barge as a really complicated life support system.

[blobsbff]

[SO CHEERY. He's almost suspicious]

Who's this?

Video

[blobsbff]

I'm not--

[Wait.]

The ship makes stops? [HMMM. This is good to know.] So, what, everyone here's dead?

Video

[gotgreenmagic]

Yeah, but don't get any bright ideas. When we land, you cannot hit the ground running fast enough to get out of the Admiral's range.

Inmates are either dead or would've died if the Barge hadn't picked them up. Wardens....eh, varies. Most are alive.

[blobsbff]

He won't be able to get to me; I'm untouchable.

And how d'you know who's a warden and who's an inmate? They got uniforms?

Video

[gotgreenmagic]

[She just makes a SNRRK noise at that.]

No uniforms here, sport. Best way to find out is to ask.

[Not mentioning the Items just in case you get it into your head to try mugging a warden or something B|]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Worse: wardens.

[Scrad says.]

And just wait until the floods. You'll wish they just locked us up here and that was the end of it.

[Charlie adds.]

[wecanavenge]

[MORE MUTANTS yep that interest is doubling.]

Loyal to?

[strangehistorian]

My name is Chromie, I work here!

[notthatfondue]

No. You'll eventually be assigned a warden... They'll keep an eye on you and try to help you redeem yourself so that you may graduate and leave.

[wedonot]

The Admiral. No one's quite sure what he actually is, but he's quite good at defending the ship.

[blobsbff]

Floods? I ain't scared of a little water.

[blobsbff]

[Scoffing.] You all make this clown sound like the Wizard of Oz.

[blobsbff]

What, so all I gotta do is say I'm sorry and I can go home?

Video

[blobsbff]

So which one are you?

[blobsbff]

Me. Which was workin' out fine til Baldy showed up.

[wedonot]

I can think of a few less accurate metaphors.

[blobsbff]

You're cheery for a prison guard.

[blobsbff]

So who're you? One of the wardens, right?

[wedonot]

Yes. I'm Charles Xavier.

Video

[twoheadsofcabbage]

It's not water.

[Scrad says.]

It's way more fucked up than water.

[Says Charlie.]

[blobsbff]

You're joking, right? [He laughs.] I just saw Baldy before I got here, and you sure as hell ain't him.

[Pause.]

Unless you're his... son?

Video

[blobsbff]

What is it?

[wedonot]

No, I'm not. I'm from a parallel universe, and at least twenty years behind the man you know. [He still has hair and everything!]

Video

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Basically they're a bad trip that last a couple of days. You turn into somebody, or something else, or you think you do, or you do and you think you don't...

[Charlie says. Scrad shudders.]

It's traumatic.
