Fettered arrival [video] (week 19 - Friday)

[fotlenke]

[ Sigyn hadn't exactly been happy when she woke up on the ship. She was never gratious upon being forcefully waken from slumber. Neither had she been happy when she'd found that she was no longer in the Vanir Fortress, miles and miles of realm space from her mother and sisters. So when she gets her hands on the communication device, she promptly presses all the buttons, not meaning to fuzzy-up the video and turn the volume loud enough that anyone within a mile radius can hear her voice. ]

I do not appreciate being taken from my home! Why was I taken? Who are you who live upon this world? Where is transportation to return me to my realm? I must warn you, I come from the blood of warriors, and never have we taken capture of our own lightly.

[ Her eyes glow, fingertips twitching with blue light. ]

The daughter of Freya demands answers!

[She can't quite help the brief snort of laughter, or the bitterness that tinges it.]

Never heard that before.

And we don't know - no one remembers how they got into the pods. My money would be on the latter, though. I've been on military vessels, and that ship isn't one.

It is most common for children to be given names that signify their strength and empower in times of need.

[ To this, Sigyn perks. ] You are a warrior!

[evervarying]

Yeah. Alliance navy.

[She pauses, and this time there's a little more humour in the laugh.]

Which probably doesn't mean anything to you. There's a few of us here - from various backgrounds, actually.

What are your battle skills? [ She's getting really excited, if you can't tell from her grinning and cheeks flushing. ]

Ranged combat. Against ground forces, mostly - fliers are a little weird. I can hold my own hand to hand, as long as you aren't asking me to take on a krogan.

[fotlenke]

Is Krogan your enemy?

[Video]

[evervarying]

Some of them. They're mercs, mostly - I'm pretty sure it's a species trait.

[She grimaces, a little apologetic.]

Sorry. I'm still getting used to this whole 'people not recognizing common alien species' thing.

Mother taught me to not judge a stranger by their appearance. [ She looks up, thoughtful, then back to the camera. ] Unless that stranger is putting his sword through your fellow warrior's stomach.

[She can't help but grin a bit at that.]

Sound advice.

[Even if she would not entirely follow it herself - especially when it comes to alien powers being admitted to human military vessels.]

Especially that second part. If someone tries to gut one of my squad, damn right I'd blow their head off their shoulders.

Mother is very protective of my sisters and I. She tells us that we will do the same if either one of us is ever in danger. She says that family is most important.
