ONE. | VIDEO
[The man in the video is sitting on the ground, leaning against a wall in the catacombs. There are voices in the background, sounds of people gathering their belongings to move back to the world above. He doesn't have much with him, just the notebook and the blanket he's sitting on, since his knife is safely hidden in his belt behind his back. His bare, tattooed arms are covered in cuts and rope-burns, but since it's been over a day now, he's cleaned off the blood as best he could given the circumstances. They are slowly beginning to heal, and in the process have gone from stinging mostly to itching uncomfortably, so that every now and then, he reaches over and briefly rubs the skin next to one of them, to distract himself from the sensation.]
[But for now, his attention's focused on the notebook, as he's trying to figure out theseverely outdated, by his world's standards technology.]
Since it looks like we're finally getting a break... My name's Daniel Zhu, I only arrived here a while ago. Anybody mind filling me in what's going on here? I got the basics. Now I'm still waiting for the explanations.
[Oh, yeah. He has figured it out enough to attach a fake name, corresponding his story, to the post. Operative and all.]

You aren't the only one still waiting, believe me. So far everyone on this planet is completely useless.

[But wow, those are some prominent tattoos, girl. Not that that's a bad thing, since she looks mostly human to him, and the inhuman features - skin colour, eyes - aren't anything that isn't possible in his own universe with some effort.]
Where'd they take you from then?
no subject
[But that's right. Totally human here. Totally. And she slumps back a little further into her corner at the question, frowning.]
Some planet called Mandalus. I can't tell you much more than that, because I never heard of it from any system I know of before I arrived there. What about you?
[The back alleys of some backwater rim planet is her guess, but hey. That's just her.]

Anything specific you wanted to know, though?
no subject
No idea. Haven't had time to talk to many people here. How long have you been here?
And what I want to know is, how many of us are there? We've just gone through an air raid, I understand. Who's in charge of the defence here? What's our current objective?
no subject
For a little while. Few weeks.
Hard to say how many we are now, as people are prone to popping up and disappearing seemeingly at random, and we haven't got a status report yet. I'd say between hundred and two hundred right now - if you mean only the transports.
[ maybe he'll have an exact number again later. ]
As for your last two questions.... hell if I know. The simple answer would be: The Initiative, and defeating the UE.

Or you will decide that we are all insane or have already been brain washed. However, I have been here for seven months so if there is something specific, do ask. I may actually have an answer for you.
no subject
[He snorts, but hey - at least there seem to be plenty humans around. That makes him relax a little, even grant the other man the brief hint of a smirk.]
I just got here a day ago or so. I'm nowhere near where I was before. And I have no idea how it happened. I'm not going to call any of you insane.
Give me an update then. You know the people who greet the newcomers, I guess. Anything you can think of that they wouldn't tell me?
no subject
Usually people ask for the nearest bar and brothel, after getting told that the Initiative are fighting a war in time with our help. The United Earth is their target and what remains of this planet is something they also wish to reverse. the Initiative are not some great evil as many will claim, but they are not without their own sins.
Let's see... The weapons do gain skills as you use it; it will act with you commands and develop tricks to help your own weaknesses and within their structure. However, if you do not use it, it will 'die'.

I am so slow this week sob
Oh man, me too! I'm just getting used to a quicker game again, and to the timezones here.

Yeah, I got that part more or less. Doesn't mean I can completely believe or understand it, but it sounds like that hasn't been a problem for you.
