ONE ⚠ video

[sonofabyte]

[ The video feed opens in a rather mundane fashion: an expressionless man sitting within the library in the Initiative Hold, his tablet on a desk in front of him as he pages through a book--a somewhat battered old volume of history. ]

I have two questions. I would appreciate some answers, if you could.

[ His voice is deep and serious, but also remarkably flat and toneless. ]

I understand that the other "Transports" here represent a wide variety of worlds. How many come from one with similar components to this one? A ruined Earth, or one near ruin, and a repressive absolute government guiding humanity in the wake of that disaster.

[ He closes the book and sets it down on the desk just out of the screen's frame. ]

The second question is simple. Can anyone recommend somewhere I can find decent coffee?

...I'm not going to like what follows that, am I.

You could see about obtaining some from a mission in the past.

They don't police goods on return?

[Not that he has any qualms about lifting things from other time periods, but Government Type People generally frown on it]

So long as it is not historically important or living, you can bring it back. [Not only has he brought back looted items from a battlefield, he also has in his possession a very fancy pirate hat.]

[voice]

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

That's... good to know.

[Schemes are being formed. Do not depriven this man of coffee for too long]</small

[onemoredeath]

Do take care though. I believe that there is a weight limit.

[voice]

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

I'll figure something out.

[Telekinesis! Great for cheating scales]

[onemoredeath]

Ah, don't ruin it for all of us by trying to grab something big.

[voice]

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

I'm not that stupid.

[that tone of voice implies that he thinks you might be, though, for assuming that]

[voice]

[onemoredeath]

Forgive me if I may not believe you yet; we have had people who come here expecting to rule this place.

[voice]

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Tried that once. Too much paperwork.

[voice]

[onemoredeath]

That is what I think but from some, it seems that they haven't gotten that memo.

[voice]

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

I find that's usually because they're self-centered idiots.

[voice]

[onemoredeath]

They are that as well.
