Most of the people who used the Sensoriums fell into two categories: They either wanted to use the place to find some new and creative way to break themselves in half, or they used it to replicate their home in some kind escapist fantasy. Leon didn't fall into either one of those groups, which may explain why he didn't use the sensoriums much, if at all. He figured whatever they would face in the rest of the ship would find new and creative ways to try to break him into pieces, and as much as he missed home, he'd rather deal with the reality of the situation than pretend this wasn't happening.

He did, however, visit the media library fairly frequently. He didn't bother looking up too much information on himself, particularly after he became aware of Resident Evil. Nor did he look up information on others unless he absolutely needed to. But listening to some music and browsing through books and articles did help him relax. So did the game of Tetris he was able to download to his phone, but flipping through stuff was a bit more productive. At least then he might learn more about this ship, its purpose, the Ohm, and the mysterious Third Party.

In between Tetris breaks, anyway.

He raised his eyebrows at the Army Ranger bit. Her, he definitely won't have to worry about, then.

"Federal Agent, worked out of the Department of Defense." That was the simplest explanation.

"DoD, huh?" Jo asks, her smile growing a bit. "We have some DoD up in Eureka. They... uh, kinda run the place actually."

She eyes him for a moment. "Ever heard of it? I mean Eureka?"

"No, I haven't." That was a curious question of hers. "What's the DoD got going on up there?"

"Seriously?" Though it's really not all that surprising, considering it's all suppose to be hush-hush. But then again, they were in the middle of outer space on some crazy spaceship, it probably didn't matter.

"Well Eureka is basically inhabited by brilliant scientists working on new scientific advancements and weapons for the DoD. It looks like a small normal town, but it's really not."

"I'm fairly high up on the food chain, as far as that goes, but its not like I'm a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff."

And a project like Eureka was more than likely something most of the higher ups would agree that he didn't need to know about. Especially if you consider how Leon prefers to deal with science by shooting at it until its useless.

"I hear whispers of things, but a project like that would definitely be above my pay grade, if the world I'm from even has it."

"Oh, that would make sense..." It did though, she guessed only certain people would know about it... Except when one of the Generals would call in the military and then... She always wondered how they dealt with that afterwards....

"I still find that strange... The whole same planet different timelines.."

How they dealt with it was one of those things she'd rather not know.

"I don't know... I think that's been one of the easier things for me to wrap my head around. If there's one thing I'm sure of, if people had to live life over again, they'd make some different choices."

"Yeah, I guess they would..." She pulls her knees up and drapes her arms over them. "Though I think half the scientists would still do everything they've done the same. Even if it was stuff like almost destroying the planet. They claim it's all scientific advancement, even their mistakes..."

The were a slight noise of disgust from Leon. It wasn't something he could help in that instance.

"I think I can do just fine without some of their mistakes."

Jo totally agrees with Leon. "Yeah, really. Before moving there I never thought that smart people could be so dumb."

"You're telling me. I'd almost think they were children with how much someone else has to clean up after them." Especially when that someone else was him.

"I know, we do a lot of cleaning up in Eureka... Thankfully no one has been really hu -" She cut herself off because that's not true. Kim had died and Stark had she didn't even know how to decribe what had happened to Stark on his wedding day of all days.

"Thankfully none of them have managed to blow the world up."

He honestly wished he could say the same. Then Raccoon City might still be standing.

"Consider yourself lucky."

"I do," She nods, and realizes that she really was. Despite all of Eureka's flaws, it's actually not that bad of a place.

"Sooo..." She says after a few moments of silence. "What do you think about the members of our team?"

"Well, you at least I know I can count on, so congratulations, you're now my new second in command." Because, Army Ranger? He was definitely going to put her skills to use.

"The Winchester boys seem solid, if a bit rough around the edges, but the MacManus brothers strike me as wild cards. They'll probably need to be reined in every now and again, just to keep the collateral damage to a minimum.

"I haven't met the other two members of the team yet. Have you?"

"No I haven't. But I'm sure they're good...." At least she hoped so. She actually hadn't met all of the team yet. She'd met Dean, and she thought he was OK and he was pretty good with a gun, so that added some more repect right there.

"I can ask around though, see what others think of them..." Not that she always took others observations at face value, but it would in a way give them something to work with.

"That would be good. I'd like to have some idea about who we'll be working with."

Not that he couldn't make adjustments and deal on the fly, he was practically an expert at that, he'd just rather not have to.

"Awesome, I'll start that ASAP." Jo has no problem snooping around, gathering info on others...

She's use to digging up information, afterall she had to keep an eye on who was coming and going in Eureka, this shouldn't be any different.

"Excellent." This would make his life a little bit easier.

"I should get back to trying to find out more about who we're going to be going up against."
