[Terms like 'down time' and 'free time' were somewhat of a foreign concept to Samus up until only a few days ago. Between bombing and catacombing and Mongolian battling and Monster slaying, and then believing it some imperative duty to patrol around the Hold in-between those times like an armored guard dog set on (well justified) high alert, she's not given herself much of a moment to relax. Samus has, however, has made it a point to become in need of a good shower very acquainted with the tablet-formerly-netbook device, and especially appreciates the recent upgrade. Her technology is still far more advanced than the tiny little device, but it suits its purpose well enough.

Much the same, she's made it suit her purposes, if literally. The particularly astute will recognize this video feed is coming from the forearm of this person, fixed in place as if it's just another part of them.

"Person" is a generous term--what's being displayed could be more accurately described as a orange suit of armor from the torso up, heck, maybe even some kind of space robot with how distinctive it looks. (Though, there's also something very organic about the suit, like it were a second skin in some parts.) The voice is quite muffled under the helmet and opaque green visor--to the point of questionably androgyny.]

...

[It's a very talkative robot person. A damage report seems utterly moot.]

More Transports and more Exiles. It really is a testament to how miserable this place can be when the island population never seems to grow despite that. Some of the new arrivals seem... ill.

[Then again, if the last mission was any indication time can change anything, can't it...?]

I suppose an overdue introduction is in order. Here's my resume for what it's worth. Take it or leave it.

SAMUS ARAN
» Bounty Hunter (and for hire)
» Formerly employed with the Galactic Federation. Includes both military and police experience.
» Guns and fists, I'm skilled with both. I don't miss my mark, either.
» Piloting, with a preference for smaller ships.
» Also skilled with mech and tech, though mech is more my thing.
» Common sense is also an important skill to note.
» Not fond of dance parties.

[ACTION for el residentes of unit 406]
[KNOCK KNOCK. HONEY, I'M HOME. Actually Samus might have let herself in and out of here previously just to quickly use the shower, chances are when no one, or Maya was present so no time paradoxes happen and saying nothing more than 'hi' and 'bye' before leaving as quickly as she came.

But now, running ragged, Samus thinks she is ready to give this... roommate thing a real try. It couldn't be worse than the fiasco in Adam's place, or sleeping outside in the dirt another night, could it? Hopefully her roommates are ready to give the big armored person standing at the door a try too.]

[OPEN ACTION]
[When not needed Samus is an elusive creature, but the towering armored person can be found especially if your name is Mia patrolling around the Initiative Hold and in the city--there's still plenty for Samus to explore, being here only a little over a month now.]

The Galactic Federation?

*His tone isn't confused, but it isn't happy either...*

[raisedbybirds]

Formerly.

[Samus picks up on that tone, noting no confusion.]

Are you familiar with them?

[misplacedxsheath]

*The name is slightly different from what he usually hears, so this could either be someone who uses different terminology or someone from a similar but different universe...*

That depends. Have you heard of a planet known as Fifth Jerusalem?

[video]

[raisedbybirds]

[She's heard of many planets, and that name unfortunately eludes her.]

What sector is it in?

[misplacedxsheath]

*He shakes his head.*

If you were employed by the Federation from my world, you would know of it. It's their pathetic excuse of a capital planet.

[video]

[raisedbybirds]

Not a fan, huh.

Who are you affiliated with?

[video]

[misplacedxsheath]

If you're fond of understatements, then no, I'm not.

I'm from the Immigrant Fleet, a group that's attempted to remain independent from the Federation since the ill-conceived attempt at an overarching government was formed.

[A tilt of the head, and then a low rumble from the back of her throat.]

That sounds unfortunately similair to the Federation I'm familiar with. I once thought of them as being wholly altruistic, but I've since come to question that.

[misplacedxsheath]

Hmph, I suppose some things are universal. Not that I'm surprised, given the common human inclination toward greed and idiocy.

[video]

[raisedbybirds]

It's common, I won't argue that.

...but I haven't completely lost faith.
