Well, it's not much, but at least there's some direction. And it gets you away from the things going down in your... world for awhile.

[Yeah, the whole 'world' thing is a pretty new concept. Not quite sure how he feels about that one.

And really, not that he's generally one to look on the bright side- but where Isaac comes from, getting away from his world means getting away from the 99% of the population that seemed to want to kill him at any given moment. And with the added bonus of the whole missing-slash-fugitive status gone? It's enough to at least give this place the benefit of a doubt.]

So I got the official story- what's it actually like here?

[Simple, a little bit demanding.]

Anyone?

Seem to be getting that impression, thanks.

[A wry smile, and then he really pays attention and- well.]

Woah.

[Dude, you're pretty much blue.]

Look, I'm not the biggest freak you're going to see. You should probably learn to hide your surprise better.

[Equius has a temper, after all. She crosses her arms and tries to look ... well, comfortable, even if she isn't.]

Trust me, you've got no idea.

I didn't-

[He chokes a little. Whoops.]

Sorry. As long as you're not on a genocidal rampage, I guess it's not a big deal.

I'm the one who got shot at not too recently, all right?

[She raises an eyebrow at him.]

No genocidal rampages.

[Yet, at least.]

...right, yeah. Sorry, hope you're feeling better.

[That was the most unconvincing apology ever.]

Glad that you're not... rampaging.

It's not like you were here, or the one trying to kill me.

[She snorts.]

You should just be glad that the citizens stopped rampaging long before you got here.

If these guys expect me to fight for their cause when it doesn't even matter in my world-

They're supposed to be the lesser of two evils, I guess.

And the greater?

The government we're fighting against, here.

Everybody's said they're oppressive- nobody's told me what they've actually done.

They implanted tracking chips into some of the Transports, before I was brought here.

[Ouch.]

Kind of a dick move. Maybe not enough to warrant dragging us in on their rebellion...

I've heard they're pretty oppressive, too, or that's the party line.

Yeah. I'd just like to find out why I'm supposed to risk my life for these guys.

Unfortunately, they're not very talkative.

Then I don't feel any particular obligation to help them.

Yeah, it turns out we don't get much of a choice sometimes.

What do you mean? If they force us to fight, then they're no better than the government oppressing them.

I never said they had proved they were any better, yet.

[He frowns.]

Why don't we have a choice then?

It's not like any of us signed up for the last 'training session'. Just sort of happened.

...just happened like how?

[That doesn't bode well.]

One second I was minding my own business, the next I was in some sort of weird memory-gone-nuts. That's the long and short of it.

They just transported you? Sort of like they transported us here?

[That... sucks.]
