"Where are we?" is a "hidden" audio log among a trio of human and robot corpses, on a balcony-seating section of the movie theater on the Executive level of Citadel Station. The log is an easter egg, and cameo for Kevin Murphy, Bill Corbett, and Michael Nelson: three starring actors from the long-running sci-fi movie comedy review show Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K).
