Hngh.

[ Yeah, that's pretty much all you get to hear at first – a grunt, followed by a long delay of him trying to figure out how this gadget works. It's tricky and he doesn't have the patience, but given what else he's seen and heard so far, this seems almost insignificant in comparison and not quite worth his ire. Because really – space zombies. ]

Okay. Sure, I'll run with this for now. This thing's working, right?

[ Part of him still wants to believe this is a crazy dream—but even so, he's gonna be a professional and deal with it gracefully. For now. Provided this isn't gonna be dragged out. ]

Not that I particularly appreciate being kidnapped to fight for somebody else's cause without so much as proper contract conditions being negotiated first, but whining will get us nowhere, will it?

Given the circumstances. Bad timing all around, it looks like.

Anyway, I got the gist, but there's still a lot of things I don't understand – most pressing matter of all being the question if and how we're gonna get rid of this infestation, or whatever you wanna call it. [ Of course he's still gonna skim the archives later, but first impressions and especially first hand accounts go a long way. And really a zombie-free station would be kinda nice right now. ] So tell me about what you know, what's important – what can be done right now. About yourself, if you feel so inclined, I'd rather get to know my comrades. Unless you'd like to postpone introductions, which is fine by me.

Me, I go by Big Boss, but Snake's fine.

Excellent. And who knows? You may even get a sneak preview if fate decides our paths should cross somewhere in the mire of zombie-infested hallways.

I wouldn't mind that at all, though I'm trying to take a breather right now. Be careful not to run out of yarn.

[ because wow ammo is just as much of a problem still. ]

I'm not particularly worried; I'm something of a hoarder.

Brought a lot of stuff up here to last you through this, huh? Unfortunately I wasn't expecting something like a zombie invasion, myself; I prefer to avoid a mess if it's at all possible.

That's understandable. I simply had the dubious fortune of moving from one mess to another, so the instincts never had the chance to subside.

[her voice becomes a little wry now]

That said, even I wasn't expecting to be starring in a B-grade horror film. I still have some degree of skepticism left in me.

As one should. Still, I'm trying to suspend as much of my disbelief as possible right now, before go crazy or get myself killed.

[ his mind is fragile enough as is. ]

Sorry, I must be keeping you. Thanks for sharing what you know.

It's no trouble. Hopefully our next conversation with be a bit more casual and less fraught with hypothetical gore.

[much as she enjoys it, but that's neither here nor there]
