TEXT:
I asked my friend in security to let me look through the footage again. He did. I managed to find one of the new guys the Captain told me about. The footage is weird; it's from—
How did the Captain even get here? They accessed it from the Universal Stability Agency offices—
I guess I'll just ask them when I see them.
Anyway, I got the transcript from—
I'm sure he'll ask me questions about this; he's not used to pulling security footage from outside the ship. I'll deal with that when I get there.

[BEGINNING OF VIDEO TRANSCRIPT]
[CAMERA FEED CAPTURES SUBJECT "THE CAPTAIN" EMERGING FROM A DOOR LEADING FROM THE UNIVERSAL STABILITY AGENCY OFFICES INTO A STUDIO. THEY LOOK AROUND, APPEARING CONFUSED AT THE AREA AROUND THEM. THEY FIND A RAGDOLL OF THE HEAD ENGINEER MARK BEFORE HEARING A VOICE FROM BEHIND A NEARBY DOOR.]
ACTOR MARK: Coffee? How long does a man have to wait for coffee?
[THE CAPTAIN WALKS OVER TO THE DOOR AND PUTS THEIR HAND ON THE HANDLE.]
ACTOR MARK: Five minutes? Because that's what I'm doing! Amazing, that's what I'm doing, and I can't believe I'm doing that.
[THE CAPTAIN OPENS THE DOOR. INSIDE THEY CAN SEE A MARK SITTING ON A CHAIR WEARING A RED SILK ROBE WITH BLACK TRIM. HE IS SITTING BY A RACK OF COSTUMES AND IS BEING ATTENDED TO BY ASSISTANTS.]
ACTOR MARK: Oh, finally! Oh, which one do I get? Eeny-meeny-miney—the big one!
[HE PICKS UP THE LARGEST COFFEE ON THE TRAY.]
ACTOR MARK: Ana, could I have a word, please?
[AN ASSISTANT, ANA, RUNS OVER.]
ACTOR MARK: Do you see this? Do you see all of this? Yeah, I have one month left of parole left, and if I go out looking this ugly, guess who's going back to prison?
[ANOTHER ASSISTANT STANDING NEXT TO THE DOOR NOTICES THE CAPTAIN STANDING THERE AND CLOSES THE DOOR. THERE IS A PAPER TAPED TO IT SAYING "WARP CORE." THE CAPTAIN OPENS THE DOOR AGAIN AND APPEARS IN THE WARP CORE HALLWAY WITH MARK.]
[END OF VIDEO TRANSCRIPT]
Huh. From what the Captain said, it seemed like there should've been more to his appearance. Maybe he—
Captain doesn't—
whatever. I guess if it matters, I'll find out soon enough.
