[There's a short gasp as the feed comes on. Nico just, stares a second, before tipping his head side to side, then reaching out with his hand and waving it around. If anyone is watching, the image shifts around as he takes his earpiece off to examine it.]

Wow. I wish Bianca could see this. She would never believe me.

Ah, buongiorno! This goes both ways? I've been hearing some interesting things over this ear ... device? ... that don't quite seem right. Troubling, maybe, is the word...?

Also, it's my understanding this a prison? There must be a mistake. I'm only fourteen. There must be laws against this?

Also, what is a dimensional stabilizer?

[ Action ]

[Nico is confused. And excited. And also nervous. (Why is he here? He's not a bad person! Not... not really. Mama will worry.) He's nothing special, just a regular teenage boy. He goes to a boarding school and he doesn't really know his father, but his mama is beautiful and amazing, just like his older sister. His family migrated to America from Italy a few years ago, when the war started taking over Europe. His English is pretty good, even if his accent is still strong. He's a good student. A little hyper. He likes comic books more than book books, and wishes he had super powers (he doesn't). He has a crush on Jimmy Langly - but he'll tell you it's Jenny he's got the crush on.

Is that why he's here?

This is very new and strange, so no matter where you find him, he's likely to be gaping in wide-eyed wonder, and touching everything.]

	I guess they were trying to make it seem more human, and that's a thing humans do, right? Smoke. [But there was something more important to discuss here. He leans forward with a squint.] When you say "starship", what do you mean, exactly? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Since Nico will likely find starships more intriguing than the fun fact that humans don't smoke in the twenty-third century, Chekov lets that go.] I mean a ship that travels in outer space to search for new planets and lifeforms. Do you know very much about space? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know there's nine planets in the solar system. And there's another star out there called, um, Proxima Centauri that's the closest star to us besides the sun. And there's an asteroid belt. [He gets most of his information from the comic books his sister buys him so he'll stay out of her hair.] But we're still stuck on Earth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know a good deal for someone from a time before traveling in space became common. [Probably. Chekov doesn't have a lot of people to compare him to.] We established a colony in the Alpha Centauri trinary system in the twenty-second century... it was one of humanity's first interstellar outposts.

	[Nico just kind of, beams at that. No one had ever commented on his useless trivia before (except his sister, when she wanted him to shut up about it.)] The twenty-second century... That's so far away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action candothat 2016-09-05 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, maybe, but you have experienced something more impressive than space travel. The physical prison is in a universe separate from yours and mine, so by coming here, you have traveled between universes. Very few people can say that, even in the twenty-third century.

	[Gasp! Holy mackerel!] I hadn't thought of that! Wow... It's too bad I don't remember any of that happening. But at least I get to meet people like you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action candothat 2016-09-08 03:59 am UTC (link)
	I'm pleased to meet you as well, Nico di Angelo. Maybe this is difficult to believe, but the past when you are from is as mysterious to me as space is to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action nico_di_angelo 2016-09-16 01:47 pm UTC (link)
	That is hard to believe. Do you... do people in your time keep records of the past? Would they go back as far as my time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action candothat 2016-09-26 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	Unless your time predates written history, then yes. When are you from? The nineteenth century? Eighteenth? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action nico_di_angelo 2016-09-27 02:50 pm UTC (link)
	Not that far back. Twentieth. It's 1946. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action candothat 2016-09-29 12:21 am UTC (link)
	Before the launch of the first artificial satellite. [SO long ago! Honestly, history prior to the advent of spaceflight blends together. It's all in the distant past for him.] Maybe you will get to space. This prison is proof that everything is possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action nico_di_angelo 2016-10-04 11:23 am UTC (link)
	Yeah... Maybe. But probably not. It's okay though! I've met people who have, and that's the next best thing! (Reply to this) (Parent)
