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?

The government we're fighting against, here.

[freezerburned]

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

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

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

Video;

[freezerburned]

[Ouch.]

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

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

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

Video;

[freezerburned]

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

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

Unfortunately, they're not very talkative.

Video;

[freezerburned]

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

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

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

Video;

[freezerburned]

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

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

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

Video;

[freezerburned]

[He frowns.]

Why don't we have a choice then?

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

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

Video;

[freezerburned]

...just happened like how?

[That doesn't bode well.]

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

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.

Video;

[freezerburned]

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

[That... sucks.]

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

Something like that, yeah.

Video;

[freezerburned]

[He winces.]

That sounds terrible.

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

Oh, yeah -- it was a barrel of fun.

Video;

[freezerburned]

[A wry smile.]

I didn't get your name.

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

Didn't offer it yet.

I'm Mystique.

Video;

[freezerburned]

[...well that was- an interesting name.]

Isaac. Good to meet you, uh... Mystique.

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

[Shut up it's a totally cool name -- like Raven is that much less weird, really.]

Your world much like this one, Isaac?

Video;

[freezerburned]

Not entirely.

[He... sort of glances around.]

Less futuristic, I guess.

[studieswaitressing]

[She lets her lips twitch into a smirk.]

Aliens, no aliens?
