Audio. Catfish Day 24

Hey guys!

[ The slightly breathless but usually excited voice of Peter Parker comes over the intercom. ]

So I figured out how to play music over the intercom-I think. If not it'll still play through like.. my laptop screen-speaker. Whatever.

So, anyone that hasn't ever heard Imagine dragons and like so many other bands, I'm about to fix that for you.

[ And so, without further ado his playlist starts with Natrual and then goes on to These songs on shuffle. ]

I don't suppose the real man was quite so adept at music?

[hashtagparkerluck]

Probably not. I mean, I wasn't there I was kinda born in 2002

[pleple]

Still quite far in my own past. What nation is this, then?

[hashtagparkerluck]

Uh, America, actually. United States-so you you're from like... far into the future?

[pleple]

Ah, I've heard of it. The individual nations from your time are... less individual, I suppose.

Far enough for that to happen at least.

[hashtagparkerluck]

That's cool. I've read tons of books that take place in the far future but like I doubt anyone's come close?

[pleple]

Speculative fiction is only that - although I can confirm that many people live in space, in orbital habitats.

[hashtagparkerluck]

I'd say that surprises me but it doesn't. I mean-global warming is kinda a think no one back home really wants to deal with-I mean there are millions-but no one really in power that can actually do that... it's really messed up. I have a friend that would talk to you for hours about how flawed the system is and how game is rigged against the poor and anyone not rich.

Humanity is so predictable. The environment drove most of us into space, and yet those who remained on Earth held onto power, as well as all the now empty, wide open spaces to keep exploiting anyways.

I still don't think it was wrong of us when we tried to destroy that government.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Eh.

[ Peter responds as though he neither agrees nor disagrees with the sentiment. ]

People in power just don't wanna give it up.

[pleple]

Absolutely. And when you overthrow them - then you find yourself with power that you, too, would rather not give up.

It's a vicious cycle.
