[ Video--coming from Adam's tablet for once, and not his retinal enhancements. it shows him, obviously in his messy apartment, and obviously... different from what one might be used to. he's neither properly dressed nor his usual stoic, composed, monotone self.
but most notably, the lenses of his shades--which are mounted to his head--are retracted. his eyes are visibly artificial. here's the usual gravely voice: ]
...And they keep dragging more and more people here. Or is that the machine malfunctioning again? Can't be sure anymore.
Anyway, hello. My name's Adam Jensen and I'm -- [ insert vague, dismissive gesture here--his hand, too, is artificial and looks like it's made out of black metal. ] ... who the fuck even cares. I'm the local oversized can opener. Hi.
[ if it wasn't obvious before that he's drunk, it's sure as hell now. ]
Given the uh, premise under which you all arrived here as well as the popularity of thought-provoking surveys lately, let's talk about a topic each of you surely can contribute to with a story or two. Since I couldn't help but notice that we're quite a miserable bunch of misfits. Exceptions prove the rule by the way.
[ pause, during which he reaches off screen... for his smoke. ]
So, broken dreams. There's a pretty catchy song on them by Green Day which I can only recommend. But before you scurry off to find it, why don't we share with the class why we're all so damn bitter, and not only since we ended up in this shithole. Though I guess the shithole made it worse, in some cases. I don't know. Getting it off your chest might have a soothing effect, or something.
[ another pause, and he seems pensive for a moment.he might be able to offer alternative treatment methods for your troubles which may involve punching ahem. ]
Here, I'll start. I was planning to get married not too long ago, start a family. I had the perfect girl, a decent job I liked and paid well, and then--then science happened.
[ a dry, humorless chuckle. ]
Gotta love science. Your turn.

I'm still learning about the rest of this world.

But finding the materials for a relay may not even be possible.

[ adam tried hacking their databases. well, he was close. ]
What do you need?

Re: [video]
[Shelke does prefer to know who she's working with.]
[video]
[video]
[A thief, basically. Well, she'd worked with people like that and far, far worse before.]
I will remember her name.
[video]
[video]
[She catches herself, and frowns for a moment before it's gone.]
Shelke.
[video]
[ the 'what the hell is a Shelke' goes unspoken. ]

[ OKAY ]
Why is that?

I don't think they cared about our identities.

Rosso the Crimson was called that because of her bloodlust. Azul the Cerulean was called that because he could transform into a blue behemoth.
I was called Shelke the Transparent.

[Shelke had always wondered. And her japanese name means 'expressionless' rather than 'transparent' but that apparently didn't translate properly.]
