[ Nathan has found himself a shirt and tie, and feels a lot more like himself than he did when he arrived. He's set the NV up very carefully, framing himself against a backdrop of the city, as though he's making a political broadcast. The clear afternoon sunlight glances from a beautifully blue ocean behind the tallest of Siren's Port's buildings. ]

Reckon I've got this thing all figured out now. I understand I'm addressing all Newcomers, but I don't know how to narrow this down so I'm just talking to people who've been here longer than I have--sorry about that.

My name is Nathan Petrelli--that's Senator Petrelli. I've got a background in politics, formerly law; I was an ADA. Before that I spent some time as a pilot for the US Navy. Figure that over-qualifies me for a job down at Costco.

To that end I'm looking for someone called Raul Creed, or anyone else who can tell me about the Newcomer Political Party. Also, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like to hear from anyone who can shed some light on getting back into law. Reckon all those years of study have got to qualify me for something. I'll settle for anything gets me out of this rat-hole.

Audio; Private to Peter

We need to talk.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

That's one way to make friends around here. [ a beat ] About what?

Let's at least try and be functional human beings about this, and talk about it in person, rather than over the phone, alright?

[ Basically: you are in big trouble young man. ]

Functional and Petrelli's have never gone together, but fine. You're not even gonna tell me what we're talking about?

[ One guess, Peter. ]

Do I have to? Where do you want to do this?

Where are you?

Top of the apartment building. Spent the last ten minutes trying to fly.

I'll be there in a minute.

[Oh, Crowley knows men like you. Cocky, overconfident, full of ego. You people are the ones that are fastest to fall and the quickest to sell your soul when your fortune, your pride, your reputation is at stake.

But it's not Nathan's admittedly full resume that catches his interest. It is a name.]

Raul Creed. I know who he is. You should attempt to call him via his feed number. It's listed practically all over the city. He has his fingers in most everything associated with citizenship in this city.

[And then, a pause, before Crowley continues.]

Did you serve in war, Senator Petrelli?

I'll need to know before casting my vote.

[ His fingers in most everything, huh? It sounds almost resentful, but he can ask about that later, and will answer the question he's been asked first, since it's a matter of pride. ]

In the early nineties, yes. Bosnia, Serbia and Rwanda.

[ He shouldn't assume that everyone here should know anything about it, considering he's met a Japanese girl and a Second World War fighter pilot so far, yet it's a mistake he keeps on making. ]

Well. Color me surprised. Most politicians flaunt their military record with absolutely nothing to show for it. My admiration and respect, to you -- though, as you can tell, I have little sway in American politics.

[Given the accent, and all -- though Crowley has to catch himself from having his tone tilt slightly into a laugh.

No sway.

Crowley owns a sizable amount of the soul population of the extraordinarily conservative right of the United States. George Bush and Dick Cheney didn't win that election because of their superior intellect, after all.]

What with people going native around here, I'm gonna take a wild guess that we're all just a little off holding sway in American politics right now. It's a shame; I was pretty good at it.

My time in the military showed me how hard it is out there. Gave me a new appreciation for scotch, too.

[ His life is so hard. ]

[Oh, you've said a magic word.]

Scotch? Your preference?

Makes tequila look like a kiddy-drink, so yeah, it is.

[ Don't put tequila past him though he will totally take you. The problem is that he can't actually get drunk any more and can't figure out how that happened. He's blaming the alcohol around here. ]

You know where to find liquor that actually works?

[He's actually never been asked for right away by a Newcomer. It's a rather pleasurable feeling, actually; perhaps he might get some things done much sooner, now.]

I am Raul Creed, Mr. Petrelli. A pleasure to make your acquaintance. You wouldn't happen to be related to Peter Petrelli, would you? Not that you need to tell me, but this is not the first time I've heard that last name.

What is it you would like to know?

The pleasure's all mine, Mr. Creed. [ Touching his chest. ] Peter's my younger brother. At this point I can't say it's much of a surprise to hear of his infamy. [ He may just have cocked his head to one side, quirked the slightest, most politic smile. ]

I'd be interested in anything you can tell me about the NPP's policies, and what services they perform for the community, if you could. I assume there's a brochure? Maybe a website?

[He nods a little. Infamy was one word to use, and it did make sense. Otherwise, he never really had many dealings with the younger Petrelli, before.]

There is a brochure, but we've had a few changes to our community in the past few weeks, and I would rather give you a current one. I'll have my assistant send you one straight away. As for the policies, we are a group committed to helping both Newcomers and citizens, and working to make sure the two groups can live peacefully. This has yet to happen, but these things do take time. We have a board of seven members right now, and we are based out of our offices in the Newcomer Community Center, which you may have passed when you were walking away from the baseball diamond. We have meetings once a month, and open forum meetings every two to three months.

I appreciate that.

I don't suppose a drop in meeting is out of the question to discuss what I read? If you have time, of course.

I always have the time for a meeting between Newcomers. [Nods.] I have an office in the community center, if that would make things simpler for you?

It's perfect. Do you keep specific hours?

I'm Dr. Yumeno, part of the NPP committee, and- Mr. Creed and I are fellow citizens...and I'll try to answer any questions you have. As for pursuing law, I'll point you in the direction of Prosecutor Diego Armando?

Any relation to Peter, by any chance??

Would you mind my asking first what you're a doctor of? If it's not too impetuous. And I'd appreciate his number, if you happen to have it.

Peter is my kid brother. [ Deliberate use of the word 'kid' there to be as willfully condescending as possible. ]

Medicine. General practice, here, though I also have background in genetic research and cytology.

I see. I take it you've found one another, then?

Genetic research, huh. The last doctor I knew was into that, too.

We caught each other when I showed up. Managed to post to the network upside down, but I figured it all out eventually. You a friend?

It's...a field they've barely brushed into, in this day and age.

Good. Ah... He's a colleague? A nurse, so- we've both worked at Skye, and the community clinic.

I doubt it even touches on the volume of genetic research they're doing here.

[ He tilts his head slightly. ] Not working there right now, though, is he? [ That's what happens when you harbour a criminal. ]
