HI STEVE.
THAT'S YOUR NAME, RIGHT?
...
MY NAME'S PILOT. OR "PI" IF WE'RE TRUE FRIENDS AND YOU HAVE LITTLE TIME TO NOTIFY ME OF AN IMPENDING DISASTER.
I CAN TELL WE'RE GOING TO BE FRIENDS.

MY CAPTAIN ALWAYS SAID LIFE IS LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES, FULL OF DELICIOUSNESS!
SOMETIMES THERE ARE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE BACK OF THE BOX ABOUT ITS CONTENTS, BUT THIS BOX IS RATHER ANTIQUATED AND SUCH HAVE BEEN RUBBED OFF ENTIRELY.

MY CAPTAIN KNOWS ALL, FOR CAPTAIN POSES MIND-BUCKETS FILLED WITH SAGELY WISDOMS.

I BET THAT CAPTAIN, BEING A WIZARD OF SPACE-TIME CAN SEE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE BACK OF THE UNIVERSE, UNLIKE US LOWLY HUMAN-MINIONS FOR WHOM THE INSTRUCTIONS DON'T ALWAYS EXIST.

PERSONALLY, I CAN SEE THROUGH THE BOX IF I BLINK HARD ENOUGH AT IT. THE WORDS IN MY HEAD CAN TELL ME WHAT EACH CHOCOLATE CONTAINS. I DON'T WANT TO RUIN THE SURPRISE, SO I HAVEN'T BLINKED AT THIS BOX YET. I LIKE SURPRISES. I'D LOVE TO SHARE THIS SURPRISE WITH YOU STEVE.

I CAN TELL, WE'RE GOING TO BE FRIENDS.
