[Harvey is leaned toward the camera and is giving it a sarcastic smile.]

You know, Initiative, you really should have asked me to dinner before you took me back to your place.

If Donna Paulsen or Mike Ross are here, get your asses to 305. If anyone else from Pearson Hardman is here, or if anyone recognizes the name Harvey Specter from home, let me know.

Listen, I’m not staying here because I’m happy or because I agree with you. But I’m staying. For a while. And if I don’t get a meeting with someone high up in the Initiative soon, I’m going to be angry. And you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.

[He drums his fingers on the coffee table in front of him before leaning back against the couch. It’s easier to see what he’s wearing- jeans and a t-shirt -now that he’s sitting back. He’s obviously made himself home in his unit, and looks at ease.]

Now that that’s out of the way, I’ll introduce myself. Harvey Specter. Lawyer and Senior Partner at Pearson Hardman. [Of course he’s throwing out those titles.] I’m going to need help finding the best places in Exsilium. Anyone interested in a drink or grabbing a bite to eat?

[And if any roomies are around, Harvey is spread out on the couch in the living room, fiddling with his tablet. He’s mostly avoided everyone up till now, but he spends a good part of the day on the couch.]

[His smile just got a little wider, showing off some very, very white teeth while also not even touching his eyes - a color that is not that natural for someone from Japan.]

Do have fun with that. I would suggest that you be careful about who you react to in such a way. I am sure that the gods, demons and eldritch horrors may not be so kind as leave you alone. We may have a form of police and law here, but most find them to be... mere words against them.

[He raises an eyebrow.] You're saying someone's going to kill me because I made fun of them? Maybe you should take your own advice. You were quick to mock me.

Yes.

Ah, but you are assuming I feel fear.

...Maybe you don't feel fear, but you can't try to mock and scare new transports if you die.

I've already died once. It's not so hard, to die.

[And he is not lying, though he does laugh at himself.]

I don't mock or scare all new Transports, only ones that say the same thing as everyone else has said for the past year. Mind, it would have been more impressive if you cut a building in half just to show how bad it would be if you were made angry.

Well, you haven't scared this new transport.

[Not that he's enjoying talking to him. He kind of just wants to hang up on him and change his room number. But Harvey isn't one to back down.]

Thing is, you don't have to cut a building in half to be powerful.

I know.

Thing is, whatever power you had in your world through business or law does not give you any power here. You are starting from the ground up against people who do not have much to give. This is the prison camp, and the Initiative just as much prisoners as we are.

So I'll work until I have power again. I'm not just going to give up.

I never said that you will not have it, only that you cannot have it at this moment.

[A slight pause, then] Do you feel you have power here?

Yes, given that I have been here for nearly a year and thus know a lot of this place and the Initiative.
