Alright, go ahead and leave me a message, an' I'll get back to you soon as I can.

Yeah, that's him.

[ It was a little weird to go from seeing huge graffiti murals of him to hearing him being called "hat guy". ]

... Yeah. The Cap wasn't too pleased about it, when it happened. Wanted to take the guy in for questioning, a trial. But Miller, uh - didn't think he was worth givin' any kind of leeway, I don't think. Had pretty mixed feelin's about it, at the time. But now?

... I don't know. Can't say I wouldn't have done the same.

[ Sometimes bad people need to just disappear. Apollo isn't one of those superheroes who preserves the status quo; if there is an asshole who needs to be removed, they get removed. What Alex is describing is him - on a good day. ]

Maybe you would have done the same. Maybe it's best that someone else was there to do it for you.

[ And Apollo means that. Not everyone should be the person who does the shitty - if brutally correct - thing.

But then he quirks a smile, realising belatedly what Alex had said. ]

Also, hey - what? Captain? I mean, you never said as much, sure, but I always thought you were the captain...

[donkeyballs]

Yeah. Ain't gonna lie, I'm pretty damn glad I didn't have to make that decision.

[ At the question, he looks genuinely surprised. ]

Me? Captain? Good gracious no, partner, I'm the pilot. I fly, and I shoot, and the last thing in the world I wanna be doin' is callin' the shots.

[ Not that he wouldn't argue a bad order, though. He has, and he will, fight Holden on a lot of things, if he thinks he's making a bad call. But he's only overtly refused an order once. ]

Holden's our Cap. James Holden. But he ain't - he ain't woke up yet. Haven't been able to find 'im.

He might turn up yet. We seem to be getting all sorts of people on here...

[ He reaches out for the bottle, pouring them both another healthy dose of space alcohol. Joking and drinking is far better than talking about hideous experiments and space molecules. ]

Who knows who else is on the invite list?
