[VIDEO, shifting to ACTION potentially | 001: Arrival]

[standsentinel]

[By the background, Kaidan, outwardly a normal-looking dark haired man in his mid-30s, is still on the ship. Still beside the pod that's disgorged him even, as a blurry nameplate can be made out behind him if you squint. His own communicator has come to him in the form of a datapad, which he's currently holding out in from of him with the slight abstracted furrow to his brow commonly seen amongst iPad users as they try to make sure the camera's focusing. Some things carry down across centuries, apparently.]

Look. I don't know where the hell I am, but this sure as hell isn't the shuttle down to Vancouver. Everything's saying 'ship', but I'm not hearing engine noise and what little I've seen says this thing is way too big to be stealthed.

And there's another thing--

[He turns the datapad to let its camera pickup take in the pods along the corridor.]

That's not normal cryostasis like I'd call it. It looks more like prothean tech. So if anyone's picking up on this frequency, I could use a few answers.

[After a moment more, he stares at the camera and awkwardly rubs at the back of his neck with one hand as he's recalled to manners and lets the irritated command slide out of his voice.]

Uh. Please?

Wouldn't that be wonderful. [Kaidan: still wants to biotically punch The Illusive Man in the face.]

I don't think this is human, though -- or at least not any 'human' I'm aquainted with. It feels familiar, but it feels wrong, too... and yeah. I'll set up a ping to yours now.

[And so he does.]

No, it does not appear to be. The timing is merely...inconvenient.

[And isn't that word loaded with half again as much meaning as it should be.]

I will see you soon, Major.

Count on it -- seems like Shepard's here too, so we're going to meet up.

[Something caught between wistful and worried creeps into his expression, and edges up against his tone.]

Any sign of others?

[relicrebellion]

I have not seen anything, but this vessel seems...large. [This is an understatement.] If they are here, we will find them.

[She smiles, small and encouraging. She doesn't really feel it - but someone has to.]

I will see you once you've caught up with the Commander.
