[ There's a quick upturn in his tone, like he's not entirely sure if that's the right term to use. ]
... I mean, not all that complicated, actually. But you know those pods up top?
[ And he points upward with his index finger, apparently indicating Thesa Station. ]
I just woke up one day, and when I stepped out, a couple of my buddies were telling me I'd been awake and wandering around with them for months before then. And I still don't remember a single day of it.
[Wow, that is very worrisome. Caleb really, really doesn't like the idea of someone not remembering the things they've done.]
Did something happen to you? Did they say?
[His voice is suddenly rougher. It might almost sound like he's actually concerned for Peter's sake, even though it's...not true. But surely, for this man to have woken up and be told that he'd been walking around in the world...
Though, of course...perhaps....well, Pumat Sol did have his simulacrums. Was it possible someone had made a copy of this man without his knowing it?]
[ Peter takes the concern at face value – why wouldn't he, after all? – so he just shrugs. ]
No. The first time, I guess I was just up and gone one day, and they found me up on the station. The second time, I don't remember anything weird happening, aside from the usual weirdness of, like, finding yourself stranded on some alien planet while the Sharks and the Jets snap at each other from across territorial lines.
[ Another shrug. It's fucking weird, certainly, and probably not the best thing to tell a newcomer, but, hey, that's how Peter started his tenure here. ]

I'm sure it doesn't happen all that often.
