Well, what do you know, they updated the Pearly Gates. I always thought, you know, if we got to an afterlife it wouldn't be brimstone. Probably wouldn't be a crocodile and a set of scales either.

[The Motorcycle Boy has to pause to light a cigarette]

I didn't figure the Gatekeeper would be so much more fair than the Man in the Book. You can never get a square deal in life, maybe it’s about time we got one in death.

[There’s another pause, this one more lengthy. His eyes don’t focus on the camera anymore, but on something just above it.]

How many souls are we ferrying?

Just inmates? Or staff as well?

No, not really! Not in the long-term, anyway. There are one hundred and thirteen sapient beings aboard. One hundred and fourteen if you consider the Admiral to be on-board.

Well, I'm of the opinion that he is, anyway. I have a very good memory!

I was in my egg. I think my clutch was being relocated at another chamber, there was a lot of sloshing.

Very dark. It didn't bother me at the time, having no basis for comparison. I wasn't quite alone, I could sense the clutchmates of mine that had also become aware in their own eggs nearby.

Death is a temporary state.

Too many.

I think that's an incredibly vague question, and you'll have to be more specific to get an opinion that means anything.

Something to be utilized if you can manage it. Most people can't.

Did you know most of the Ancient Egyptian religious iconography came from the Osirians 'aving parked an offworld prison of their own down there?

Quite a bit worse. Amazing 'ow a culture can run into the billions of years and not get even a little civilised.

...That's a good point, actually. For me, it's a question of scale and degree, I think? You're right that a certain amount of ...call it predatory behaviour's built into bein' alive. But I've seen it applied on galaxy-wide scales. It's not a thing you forget easy.

Take it on a case by case basis, usually. Same like people, come to that.
