[The feed starts off a little shaky, almost telling of a technologically incompetent user on the other side, but he seems to have it. After a moment, a long haired man shows up on the screen, inspecting his device to make sure it's really on, and yes, it is.]

So, I got a question. Someone mind explaining to me what these 'missions' are? 'Fraid I'm really not that studying type so going through this backlog is something that's not happening. Figured it'd be easier to ask all of you, since it seems I'm here for the long run. May as well get settled in best I can, and that seemed like something that's necessary to know.

And while I'm asking, anything else I should know? Secret handshakes, passwords, people to avoid, places with good desserts, how do make a dollar or two to survive, you know the basics.

[He smirks for a bit, about ready to turn off the device, then wait... right... manners.]

Please and thank you.

[So that may have been sarcastic but he figured he didn't want those moral types to be on his case for not saying 'please' or something.]

[He can't help but smile at that and chuckle just a little bit.]

Nah, no one's told me about one. Doubt there is one at this rate.

[virtu]

In that case, we should make one up. Then we'll know who's a transport and who isn't.

[jailbreaks]

So what'll happen if we run into a transport that hasn't been taught it yet?

[He just smiles -- her enthusiasm is endearing and he sees where she's coming from, but he can't help but be just a bit of a realist.]

That and it'd take a long time to teach everyone it, unless we go through the initiative.

[virtu]

We'd teach everyone new as they arrive, of course. Handshakes are easy to learn.

Ah, but you're probably right about time. What if we teach people through the tablet thingies?

[jailbreaks]

Then wouldn't we also be showing everyone who we don't want to know about it? It's ideal, yeah, but can't say it's the safest way to teach everyone.

[virtu]

It wouldn't be nice to leave anyone out, though. That's why we need to teach it to everyone.

[jailbreaks]

I mean the initiative, or people who aren't transport. Do they communicate with these things, too?

[He knows the initiative are 'good', but he doesn't trust them...]

[virtu]

That's a good question. I don't know. But they did give us these, after all, so maybe they do.
