[On screen is Halfpipe with a smile that lights up the whole of her blue-tattooed face. She's in what looks to be a seedier district of the city, but not many Exiles are around.]

This place gets more and more like my world every day.

[At which she shifts the camera to focus on a point behind her--what several people will recognize as one of Exsilium's brothels.]

I'm curious, guys. How different is it here, compared to your homes? And if it is different, is it in good ways or bad ones?

Oh, and I'm Halfpipe, by the way.

Nope, Outer City. But they might be pretty close.

[nobrainer]

Sounds like it.

Oh, and I'm Matthias. Nice to meet you. [The tattoos don't really seem to bother him. He's seen so, so much stranger.]

Where are you at? I'm kind of new, I don't think I've found that area of the city yet.

Some brothel. Doesn't seem to have a name, but it's over on 3rd. In all honesty, you probably don't want to be over here. Unless, for some reason, you like shitholes.

[nobrainer]

Wow, you're right... it's sounding more and more like home. Even the shithole part.

Right? [Snort.] All you need is a nuclear holy war and we're right there.

[he grins]

Are you sure we're not from the same place?

[changing the subject...]

Been here long?

[sweetling]

Dude, we might be.

Nah, only about a month.
