Attention, [intones the deep, rough, and rich voice of a newcomer.] I was told that I could contact other-- [the barest pause] -- transports with this device. This is a test signal. If you are able to hear me, please respond.

Or perhaps there is another way—?

[Without any warning, the video feed switches on, showing a green blur at first. At last it evens out, centering on a wrinkled green face possessing two startlingly blue eyes... strangely gentle, despite his otherwise beastly appearance. His hair is black and braided in front, and some of it leaks out of his beige hood. His expression is grave, concerned with recent events and things yet to come.]

I appreciate any information you can give me regarding the nature of missions and the history of this center. If I am to fight for my freedom, so be it, but I will not fight blindly.

[Another pause.] Thank you for your help. [He fiddles with the netbook for a second, then the transmission ends.]

No, although I've heard from Koltira of its similarities to my own home, Rune-Midgard.

I see. [He pauses, then looks away from the camera.] Koltira was once under my command. His life has not been full of joy, but he has good intentions. I hope you understand.

[healplz]

I do. I consider him a friend.

[He lets out a little sigh of relief.]

I am glad to hear it.
