Bullshit is showing up here with everything on me but my comic books. All those Savage Starlight issues, gone. Just like that. Fuck you too, Initiative.

[A pause. Ellie's never really addressed a group of people. Technology is crazy. Okay, there was a point to this whole thing.]

... anyway, guess I just wanted to say thanks to the people that helped me out when I got here. I found who I was looking for, so. Didn't wanna leave anyone with a cliffhanger.

How long is it until you're not a newbie anymore?

[duplicitoussight]

It varies, it varies doesn't it? Ah, but a good marker would be after your first mission.

[vaccination]

So you're saying you haven't gone on one yet.

[duplicitoussight]

Nope! Not one of great importance, anyway.

[vaccination]

This place is pretty quiet.

[duplicitoussight]

Did you expect it to be loud?

[vaccination]

Louder than this, if we're in some sort of war.

[duplicitoussight]

Trust me, trust me. [He doesn't lose his cheerful tone, but his words are softer.] It's better for quiet moments like these to stay.

[vaccination]

I know. But sometimes silence is unsettling.

[duplicitoussight]

It isn't fair to say that this place is silent! I'm sure if you look hard enough, you can find a bar brawl to jump in.

[vaccination]

I'm not THAT desperate.

[duplicitoussight]

This place isn't as dead as it seems! Even if some of the long-term residents here spew a lot of doom and gloom.
