Some stuff is better than nothing, so...[ It is embarrassing but since Bobby asked, Scott considers it fair to ask back about. He's got a penchant for bluntness, on occasion. Who knows, maybe we will even have fun with this.
He feels a bit guilty about leaving people behind but Scott doesn't have a whole lot of family. What he has is a ton of unresolved issues with the world and himself and being here could do everyone good. He can always ask to be brought back if things end being too much for him to handle, proven that the Corporation hasn't lied about that. ]
How forward, Mr. Kaplan. [ Scott tries to fake sounding scandalized but the grin on his face gives that away. He's feeling more at ease with this conversation that he's been since he set foot in the planet. ] I see that you are using the very scientific approach of asking for proofs first.
[ He raises his eyebrows at that, impressed ]. I'm more of a Douglas Adam's fan but...Many are the strange chances of the world, and help oft shall come from the hands of the weak when the Wise falter.
[ Yes, he just quoted the Silmarillion at you, Billy. And if you get Scott talking about Star Wars or Star Trek, they would be here all day.
Different universes and that sort of shenanigans, life hasn't been as cruel to Scott as it would be while growing up so he's much more social than the man Billy knows. ]
I can't even remember the last time I went swimming, that alone can be fun. For now, though, we could go see if we find a place to crash or even our assigned rooms.
