Unit 1 - Video

[The video clicks on, showing a black haired man with a very mild look of bewilderment on his face. Not as much as one might expect from a total newbie, but by this point he's a tad used to waking up in strange places. Thanks Dad. Though really, this doesn't look like what he expected the afterlife to be. He really doesn't feel dead though so he's guessing he's alive.]

Oh so that button is the same...[Oh. Right. Broadcasting. He clears his throat]

I suppose I should go out on a limb and assume that this was not where I was supposed to end up. For one thing, I've been to most of the planets that like to emulate Lost Jerusalem and this does not look at all familiar. Would someone be kind enough to tell me what is going on here? Or at least where this place is? I have to admit I am a little lost.

Big ones and small ones. I don't know all their names, but they don't look human and they all attack us.

I see. Well, I thank you for what you can tell me. I don't suppose you would know a way out of here, would you? [Something tells him that this is a long shot but he's willing to take the risk.]

Not at all - um, you can leave the city if you want, though.

I suppose we have the whole planet to explore then?

It might take a long time.

Planets usually do. You have to factor in travel time and everything to do with that as well.

I don't know how you would get everywhere by boat.

Boats may take a long time, but they tend to be very pleasant trips. I don't think people mind so much.

I don't remember seeing so much water at home.

Different planets seem to have different amounts of land versus water, you could always take a trip yourself.

You sound like you want to see the other differences.

I do! It would be fun.

Where do you think you would go?

Islands.

Islands? What are you looking for there?

Life. Animals and plants.

Well, I suppose Islands would have unique specimens of such. But then again, if this world is different from your own, everything would be unique wouldn't it.

It has life naturally on it, so that's different.

Well I suppose you're right there. [Considering he made his main home on a star ship that docked in a floating artificial space station...he can sympathize.]

Still, life is life. Just enjoy it where you can.

I will. Thank you.

You're quite welcome. I wish you luck.

Luck?

Yes...did I say something wrong?

What is luck exactly?

What is it? [Hm, well, this is going to take a moment of pause.] Are you looking for the dictionary definition or the philosophical one?

Whichever one is easier to say.
