[buckingauthority]

Is he one of yours?

[VOICE]

[femshep]

If he was, I'd have at least taught him to make some goddamn sense.

And in the meantime, I'm sitting here wondering how it's any of your business.

[VOICE]

[buckingauthority]

Public channel last time I checked. It was meant to be a joke.

[VOICE]

[femshep]

[Oh. That's different, then.

She chuckles dryly.] Guess this place has me a little on-edge.

[VOICE]

[buckingauthority]

Yeah. Tell me about it.

Looks like the pods are still working, though. Guess the bastards frakked up if they were wanting to shut them down. You been out there yet?

[VOICE]

[femshep]

Out where? The city? [Or what's left of it, ruins and all.]

[VOICE]

[buckingauthority]

To the alien ship.

[VOICE]

[femshep]

The one we woke up in? [Seems like an obvious answer to her.]

[VOICE]

[buckingauthority]

Not everyone. I didn't, for example. Crashed my ship. Landed in the forest south of the city.

[VOICE]

[femshep]

Haven't heard of that one before.

Either way, I've been there. Who the hell do you think was shooting down the hovercrafts?

[VOICE]

[buckingauthority]

No damned clue. Kinda had my hands full at the time, though. Any of them salvageable?

[Damn this stupid knee.]

[VOICE]

[femshep]

Not the one I took down. Salvage wasn't exactly top priority at the time.

[wait wait wait you guys are talking and he doesn't recognize you but now he's sure about shep. TESTING, TESTING]

yeah. i was her director for this sorry sitcom called one life to live involving one mutant and her sordid love affairs in space.

[voice]

[buckingauthority]

What's a sitcom?

[relativistic]

[dammit shepard you're embarrassing a bro here]

it's a waste of airwaves. people talking to each other with canned laughter in the background pretending shit to be real.

eye for an eye. how do we get out of here. theories and rumours are ok if you don't have definite answers.

[buckingauthority]

If I knew how, I wouldn't still be here. My guess is find a spaceworthy vehicle and get off of this rock that way. But my Viper only takes one, so you're sorry out of luck there. Alien ship you woke up in might take all of us, but it's buried under half the mountainside.

People who live in the dome have hovercraft, but they seem designed only for atmospheric flight. They're also trigger happy sons of bitches who'll shoot most of us on sight or snap a restraining collar around our necks.

So, welcome to the craphole, enjoy your stay.

[relativistic]

[huh. processing ..... 100%.]

that's new. i've never been in a goddamned place where the rules are a little more concrete than the last time i played this

[Audio]

[buckingauthority]

Rules? What rules? This isn't a game, chuckles.

[relativistic]

figure of speech. what can i say, i'm a time-traveler. like marty mcfly but way cooler.
