Better than back home, for some of us.

[ For her. ]

I remember. It was different, in reality -- but I'm sure you saw that.

action;

[leaps]

I saw a lot of things.

[ a pause. ]

Is everywhere like that?

[suddenlycaptain]

[ A pause. ]

That depends on where you saw, exactly. If it was the desert planet...

No, not everywhere. But that whole planet was.

It's how I knew to look for you.

Someone got impaled.

[ it's a little detached, like sulu needs the distance. ]

[suddenlycaptain]

[ Her flinch is automatic, as is the way her hand claps over the scars on her torso, hidden beneath her jumpsuit. She takes a deep breath. ]

I'm sorry.
