[The video feed switches on and shows Jaime. He’s still taking in all that he’s been told, but he’s handling it fairly well.]

And I thought when I woke up this more I was going to have a normalish day. Figured I’d wake up, play some video games, maybe put some homework off until the last minute. Guess I might have been hoping for a little too much there.

[His Mom was going to kill him when he finally gets home. He just knows it.] Well it’s probably obvious that I’m a new arrival and since complaining won’t help anything, I should probably try to get acquainted with you all. I’ll start by introducing myself. I’m Jaime. Jaime Reyes.

[He’s about finished when something else pops into his mind.] Oh. And..uh. If there is anything important that I should know that was left out of that little orientation, feel free to fill me in on it.

You might want to start explaining what you are that way.


It does a lot, actually. It has like a gazillion weapons and abilities built into it. [Jaime looks around a bit before mentally telling the scarab to activate. When he does, blue armor with black little accents over take his body.] I didn't trust it at first because it seemed pretty evil. But now it sees me as a friend instead of a host.

So, did you change, or did it?

[If Jaime's observant, he'll notice that Osprey's suddenly become very still, with none of the usual small motions that even people at rest usually have.]

Well..It's original programming got messed up. So it became more of a free thinker, able to make its own decisions. And it chose to be my friend and work with me. So I guess it was a little of both.
