[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.

Most of what I see here belongs in the scrap heap.

[stone age doesn't really cut it.]

[sweetling]

You're from pretty far ahead, then.

[worldswillburn]

That's one way of looking at it. I'm thinking this planet's definitely seem some better years.

[sweetling]

Yeah, probably. Don't know exactly when everything went downhill, though.

[worldswillburn]

I'd say it doesn't really matter, but we're also dealing with time travel over here.

[sweetling]

Yeah, I feel like it would make sense to route everything to right before the UE started pulling shit. But I'm not an expert on timey-wimey shit.

[worldswillburn]

If there's one thing I've learned, it's just never that easy.

[sweetling]

God forbid, of course.

[worldswillburn]

So. Halfpipe, huh. That your actual name?

[sweetling]

What, you don't like it?

[worldswillburn]

Wouldn't go that far. Just think it's an odd name for a parent to give their kid.

[sweetling]

Wasn't what my parents named me, but that doesn't mean it's not my actual name.

[worldswillburn]

Got tired of your old one?

[sweetling]

Just wasn't fitting for my career.

[worldswillburn]

Yeah? And what career are we talking about?

[sweetling]

The oldest one in the world.

[worldswillburn]

[Though Kerrigan has an inclination as to what it actually is, she'll just keep it to herself.]

Were you any good at it?

[sweetling]

Pretty fuckin' great, to be honest.

[worldswillburn]

That so? Must've made you pretty popular.

[sweetling]

I was terribly underappreciated by all but a precious few.

[worldswillburn]

Why's that?

[sweetling]

I had a really shitty pimp.

[worldswillburn]

Didn't really know how to advertise you properly, huh.

[sweetling]

That, and didn't know what I was worth, and was basically a scumbag of a person.
