[He takes a breath because...who the hell sends kids down to a poisonous planet?] At least the earth was apparently okay enough, but that sounds more like an excuse than an experiment. [It's bullshit is what it is.]
[There's an awkward little smile then. At least Bellamy's playing along] It's okay, old-timer. I'll catch you up to speed. I've been here for about five months now and...I guess I wanted to understand everything about this place. We've had a lot of people come to us in the last couple of months and tell us how things on Tellus should be and used to be. I've learned a lot.
[He snorts.] Not radioactive enough to kill us, but I wouldn't call it great. Barely even 'okay.' It was probably both an excuse and an experiment with those deemed expendable, honestly.
[He tries very hard not to look Fond at the use of Old Timer.] It doesn't have to be right now, but - I'd definitely be interested in what sort of things you've found. Didn't even have to be here a week before I realized how little I trusted just about anything.
Then why didn't they send adults who were more "expendable" or whatever? Man whatever, it's still wrong no matter how you look at it.
[While he's busy grumbling he doesn't notice Bellamy's expression.] I think that's how you're supposed to feel here after a while. Nobody makes sense and it starts to get more complicated the more people talk to us and give us information. I'll do my best to help.
