[ 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.

[ adam this is SO NOT THE WAY TO DEAL WITH MISERABLE SELF-LOATHING. ]

You're going to regret this.

[oh look, it's one of those cute little newbies. or at least an unfamiliar face. he looks like he's been working on his own future hangover.]

Look, there's gotta be a way out of here. I mean... they can shend-- sen-- they c'n beam us back on missions, right? So they have to be able to reverse it.

[ oh god where to even begin with this. ]

Bad day?

Well, nevermind that. You can worry about it as you come to it.

What spurred this?

[ the hand especially gets a curious look, if a brief one; implants and enhancements may be illegal on frontier, but she spent quite a bit of time around a couple of cyborgs just before her arrival into exsilium. more noticeable and worrying is, of course, the - well everything else. ]

Um...are you okay?

[ ranka lee: always asking the relevant questions. at least she looks hesitant enough to show that she probably realizes the answer is obvious. ]

You call my methods poor, but yours are hardly any better.

What happened to your girl, then.

No. I am not.

It is useless for me to dwell on my past. What has happened, happened. No regrets!

Your attachments are very interesting.

[well somebody's gotta run QC on all this liquor. test it for freshness. everyone else ought to be thanking them.]

But that doesn't make any sense, why the fuck wouldn't they just take people who weren't... who didn't... have stuff to do? I mean, like you said, with the job and the girl an' everything.

[She laughs, and gives him a wink.]

But mine are natural. And I am certain you were not born with those!

Though if you were, I would absolutely love to discuss that with you.

It wasn't meant to be.

Working includes keeping an eye on the network, as you know. [ for like worrying activity like crimes but w/e ] I didn't know you were the type to want to get married.
