Experiment 001 // Video;

[so have one curious looking Jane Foster, recently woken up and in the ship]

All right, this is interesting. I seem to have found myself in a pod in a crashed ship, and frankly, that doesn't look like Earth tech. And need I add that it looks like somebody went trigger happy with the terraforming? It looks a bit desolate out there.

My name is Jane Foster, and so, um, who's out there, and what is going on?

There are three, maybe four dozen of us, and at the moment we're repairing fire damage and watching Mister Lehnsherr get himself killed.
femshep: (ehhh)

[personal profile] femshep 2012-07-05 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Wildfire. And stampede, but that one was handled a little faster.

And Lehnsherr's under the mistaken impression that rallying troops on the public network and bringing the Authorities down on our heads is a good idea.

We're taking bets on whether he gets himself shot before or after he runs out of steam.

[...She sees you, Hudson, hitting on the new chicks again.] ...Also? As much as I'd like to let you learn for yourself, I have to warn you: Hudson probably couldn't keep you safe from much more than a wet napkin.
femshep: (roger that)

[personal profile] femshep 2012-07-05 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
The Outer Authorities. 'Outer' in this case refers to outside of the dome--you'll see it if you head outside. [Assuming she just woke up, anyway.] They've got more advanced technology than anything we've got out here, and they shoot to kill.

[What are the odds, you ask?] Not sure. The term 'full of hot air' is coming to mind, and if that's the case, my bet's on 'shot'.

[She'll leave the Hudson bit alone, since Jane seems to have told him off well enough on her own.]
femshep: (ehhh)

[personal profile] femshep 2012-07-05 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
I'll take your word on that one. [She's never had much time for pleasure reading.]

It's a safe presumption, yeah. [Especially if they know what Erik can do and arm themselves accordingly. She's not going to say that, though. No use dooming him, he's already bringing them down on his own head as it is.]
femshep: (I spy)

[personal profile] femshep 2012-07-08 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Your self-confidence is refreshing, Jane. Shepard likes you. :|b

...She does, however, think you could say 'one' a bit less. But she'll go with it.]


Straightforward enough, I'd say.

[Hello hot chick who used video so Hudson knows you are, in fact, a hot chick.]

We're working on it. Kinda hard to keep it tea-party ready with the dinosaur stampede.

Don't worry, though. I'll keep you safe. [WINK.]

[personal profile] game_over_man 2012-07-05 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
You think so? Yeah, well, we'll see.

[You will come around to the Awesome that is Hudson, chiquita.]

That's pretty much it. Dinosaurs. Stampeding.

Don't worry, though. I led them away from the city.

[If screaming and flailing counts as 'leading'.]

[Oooooo, confidence. Sexy.]

Good to hear. Just remember, the Colonial Marines are here to serve.

[What's Thor got that Hudson doesn't? Besides the cape. And the stupid hammer. And the ABS OF THE GODS. Seriously. Hudson's got, uh, other stuff!]

Yeah, well, there's a lot you don't know about dealing with xenos. My specialty.
game_over_man: (chickenshit outfit)

[personal profile] game_over_man 2012-07-06 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
What other kind of xenos you got?

Nasty bastards, most of them.

And the one that aren't? We shoot anyway. Just in case they get ideas.

[Ah, Marine humor.]

[personal profile] game_over_man 2012-07-07 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah uh no. We don't got that kind. Because, trust me, if Weyland-Yutani had a way to make some other stupid race die protecting us, they wouldn't have swung this little deal with the USCM.

[He does the 'Earth protecting' around here.]

[Hudson just snorts, but deducts at least 5 cuteness points.] Yeah, ain't never heard that attitude from a civ before. Strange how happy they are to see us when the shooting starts.

If the ship is human technology, it is human technology from a distant future. As for the desolation, I believe it is the result of generational war compounded by natural disaster, rather than a terraforming accident.
relicrebellion: (Of all I survey)

In terms of survivability, it is not entirely bad news. This planet was clearly either chosen because its environment suits your species' needs, or was terraformed in the distant past to make it do so. Both war and disaster can be recovered from. A planet that cannot support life would be...difficult, with no way off-world.

I was only stranded the once. [And she's still embarrassed about it, if the defensive note to her voice is any indication.] But yes. It was a necessary risk.

Unfortunately, the weight of history speaks against that line of reasoning.

Our people share a saying: those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. Which has become a very literal truth in my own recent history.

But I was speaking of cultural patterns, and the fact that it quite often takes repeated exposure to learn how to deal with something particularly difficult.

Jane? Jane Foster?

[Aside from their shared status as Adjunct Partner To A SHIELD Member, Pepper doesn't really know the younger woman all that well, but she's got a knack for faces, and in this setting a familiar one is a welcome one.

She's looking a little less perfectly-polished than usual, hair back and half escaping from a ponytail, but the fact that she's calling in against the backdrop of some swirling activity is pretty darn Potts.]


It's turning into a convention -- Tony and Steve are here as well.
pepperspray: (hold the phone)

Re: [Video]

[personal profile] pepperspray 2012-07-07 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
That's the one. And Steve is Steve Rogers. Captain America, one of SHIELD's other irregulars...

[Pepper trails off then, and looks faintly embarrassed as her assumptions catch up to her.]

Well, in any case, there are people from our world and time here. There are also a lot of, um, other complications. The ship is alien, and we're on a planet called Verdana. No-one's really sure when it is, except some time significantly in the future.

He's... surprisingly true to what was written. I didn't actually think people could be that honourable and genuinely nice. But I'm sure he'll check in and you can see for yourself.

[Pepper twitches an escaped lock of hair behind one ear, and actually answers the question put to her.]

Most people seem to find some place to stay in the city -- there are a lot of ruined or abandoned buildings, some in better shape than others, and a lot more than the population of the city needs. Um. If you need a place, I've found one near the hospital.

Re: [Video]

[personal profile] pepperspray 2012-07-16 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Come by the hospital and I'll walk you there. There are still a few street signs here and there, but not enough that I'm subjecting anyone to directions using them.

The hospital's actually located underground -- remnant of some war-era design, I think...

[And insert some directions, as precise as Pepper can make them, and including things like 'turn right at the third collapsed building'.]

Just ask where I am when you get here.

Not right now. A week ago there were stray dinosaurs -- long story, I'll explain later -- and a wildfire had made things hazardous, but it's pretty safe at the moment.

There are only about 1500 people here, rough estimate, so the streets are safe through being deserted. Pick your favourite post-apocalyptic city setting and you've pretty much got it.

Hudson?

[Pepper looks briefly pained, but also faintly amused.]

If you're talking about the private first class with an inflated sense of his own charm, I am so sorry. I'm thinking a rolled up newspaper might be in order...

I'll look for you at the hospital, then. See you soon, Jane.
