[He's so bored, he can't take it anymore. Asking for trouble, maybe, but there's all kinds of excitement he's missing with the new arrivals, and he's not used to missing out on it. He keeps the video feed off, unlike usual, because both his cell and he himself are a mess. His voice is only slightly hoarse, recovering from a first week in custody that was spent screaming.]

So what's the deal with all you new guys? Usually I do this in person but I'm, uh, a little tied up right now. Anyway, lemme hear it. Where you from? Whatcha usually get up to? How you feeling about being in this skanky shithole up on the moon?

Hope the rest of you guys didn't leave 'em starving.

Is that woman in charge of you?

[hostage]

Ros is in charge. I think.

[payback]

I don't know her. I hope so though.

[hostage]

Yeah, I mean... She still listens to Sonya a hell of a lot more than she listens to me.

[payback]

Yeah, that makes sense though... being they're mad at you.

... I'll try to visit, Jesse.

[hostage]

I'd like that. If it ain't trouble for you.

[payback]

It's not like I have a tight schedule here.

[...] Are you going to be okay?

[hostage]

Yeah. Yeah, I'll be fine.

[payback]

You've made it this far.

[hostage]

Yeah.

[payback]

You can do it, Jesse. They can't just leave you rotting there forever.
