[Video clicks on and it's just a shot of Perry, an Xbox controller in one hand, chilling out on his bed. He's been enjoying the downtime til the next big disaster.] So that thing where people who aren't stuck on the cruise ship of the damned get to say hello to all of us jerks who are is happening again, huh? Okay, whatever. Anyone who matters knows who I am, so I'll skip the introduction. As long as I don't get E-freaking-T talking to me again...

[He shakes his head and continues in a tone that's a little bit sarcastic but more bored-tech-support-guy:] Hey, folks. If you're seeing or hearing this, you're experiencing a little glitch in the matrix. We have a network here on said damned cruise ship and your phone, computer, hologram machine or whatever the hell else is tapping into it. Don't be alarmed, it'll all be over soon. [...] Guy with the "thinking machine", you out there?

[The feed cuts off there, but Perry adds this to it a few minutes later:] Actually, I was thinking about this the last time it happened... If you've talked to people from your world, are they always from the same time as you are? It doesn't seem like it'd have to work that way-- I mean, just based on the wide range of times we're all from, right?-- so has anyone talked to, I don't know, their childhood friends or their dead brother or whatever? People you hadn't seen at home for a really long time? [A shrug.] Just wondering.
