Okay, so, a flood turned hostile takeover attempt, another sinister plot, a port... now do you think we'll get a little bit of downtime?

I know people had their issues with port, but seriously, at least for the most part, barring a misadventure here or there, most of us got out pretty unscathed. That's got to be worth something on the scale of boring to traumatic.

... And it was kind of fun, being a cop again. Even if there wasn't exactly much chasing down bad guys involved.

I mean, not that I'm saying "sign me up for a universe transfer", but I guess all I'm trying to say is I'll take what I can get.

[Private to Port Family: Olivia, Wally, Seven, Tim, Shego, Isaac]

Seriously, as far as fake families went, you guys were pretty cool.

[Private to Tim]

Were you ever going to get around to telling me my best friend survived the Crisis?

[Private to Ariadne]

Did you and Jensen get to say your tearful good byes, or are you now parted from your one true love forever?

And hey, I think this port's the first time we've ever gotten to hang out that hasn't been interrupted by the Barge trying to collapse around us or something. Clearly a celebration is in order.

[Private to Bourne]

So... How's your shoulder?

I imagine it's rather useful to know, aye.

These things should be written down somewhere.

No one's written a "Everything You Need to Know About the Good Ship, Barge" book yet?

It's been discussed now and then, but it's hard enough to find time to do small organisational efforts, let alone write a whole guide book.

I mean. If everyone was interested in helping people out in one sense or another, we could do both, but as it is? Only a handful of people (a sizable one, don't get me wrong) are interested in doing that kind of thing.

And floods, and things going wrong, and Lord knows what else don't help.

Things like that do tend to get complicated when your sense of normalcy is constantly in flux.

Losing your sense of self, or getting thrown into a crisis every week does tend to get in the way of any kind of bureaucracy.

I'm sure some people manage okay. [Meaning, well, Bruce. But he was... Bruce. And therefore sort of an enigma.]

I mean, back in the real world, anyway. I'm not sure how that would go down here.

Well, I'm trying my best to manage. It's... well, I'd love someone around who could manage better, but I imagine they're rare.

You never know. We could get lucky next time the admiral decides to pick more people up.

One can always hope.
