I used to believe it’s the things in life you don’t choose that make you who you ah. But now I’m here, lookin’ around at everyone and I’m stahtin’ to think I was wrong. We’re all here because of choices we made, paths we took, whether we signed up for this or not. Doubt the Admiral would’ve bothered with us if he felt otherwise, anyway. There’s gotta be some reason why we’re all here, right?

… All right, maybe it’s more half an’ half, since I’m obviously can’t speak for everyone, inmates don’t get a hell of a lotta say, and I’m sure you’ve all got your reasons foah bein’ here and stickin’ around, whether you wanted it or not. I’m definitely not here to judge. Just thinkin' out loud, you know?

My name’s Patrick Kenzie. I’m a former private investigator from Massachusetts. When I left, it was 2007, but from the sound of it, that don’t matter much around here. Where’s everyone else from?

Depending on how things went after I died, Morgana le Fay might have been brought back.

No kidding! But seeing as we've got people from five hundred years ago on this ship, it's not that amazing.

[knowsthepeople]

Well, considering most people I know are from 2007, anything different's pretty amazing.

I hope most of the people you know are from 2007, otherwise that'd be real strange.

I mean, unless you're some kind of time traveler.

Hello, Patrick! Welcome to the Barge. You do indeed need a reason to stick around here....

My name is Chromie. I'm from a world called Azeroth.

[knowsthepeople]

Azeroth, huh? That like... some kinda planet?

[strangehistorian]

A planet and a country!

[Like New York is a city and a state.]

[knowsthepeople]

That anywhere near Earth or what?

[strangehistorian]

No, I believe they're in different universes.
