audio; transmission from: outside of the haven

[gtfostalker]

[Enjoy that full minute of static, Haven. It's not getting any better. At least someone eventually starts talking... just that it's all in Russian and half-staticked out for another minute before the translator either kicks in or the man on the other end realizes that English might be easier for most people to understand.]

... -llo?

... -ve gotten los-

... -omeone come get me?

[The static increases briefly - which mostly covers a rather colorful curse that nobody needs to hear.]

I will rep-...... -ess.

... -ank you.

[The transmission cuts out shortly after that, returning the Link to its regularly scheduled silence.]

You will need to try harder if you really want to get some help. Coordinates would be useful.

[raceme]

Sir? Are you in danger? Did someone attack you? What are your coordinates?

[Video]

[gtfostalker]

[Robot! Well, that's not really surprising. Enjoy the staticky video of a bald, lean guy in a hoodie in addition to the staticky audio.]

... -hought you could figu-... 'robot senses'.

[His tone is at least partially teasing. Just... not entirely.]

[gtfostalker]

-an't remember. Give me a mome-...

[He just has to fiddle with this Not-His-PDA for a bit and... coordinates from outside the Haven! Yay!]

>action

[raceme]

[And that's enough for Blurr to know where he is and how much it will take him to arrive.] I will be there in 3'42 minutes sir stay put.

[See that blue blur (no pun intended)approaching really fast? Your taxi is here, Strelok.]

[audio]

[catwoman]

It sounds like you're in a bit of trouble.

>action

[gtfostalker]

[How precise of Blurr. Luckily, Strelok is cool with waiting, fiddling with his binoculars until he sees that blur approaching.

Strelok... claps as he arrives.] Very nice! You move quickly.

[audio]

[gtfostalker]

... -ostly just lost.

[Which is embarrassing enough, really. This never happened before.]

>action

[raceme]

[Always the most precise if he can help it. And ohhhh you are an organic! Blurr stops suddenly and blinks, then smiles a bit.]

Yesthankssir. It's what I do best. I'm Blurr.

This might come as a strange question but do you have a glyph?

[Video]

[deadlydoctor]

[No, mother Teresa. Can't you tell? Knock Out is sure this is the first time he sees this fleshie.]

We are skilled but we haven't reached telepathy yet.

A newbie, I take it?

[Video]

[gtfostalker]

New?

[The audio cuts in and out as Strelok laughs.]

I'm... -o damn rookie.

[He's just having some trouble remembering things, that's all. But he's definitely been here before.
... Somewhere around here.]

[Glyph... right, glyph! He brings up one hand in a 'wait' gesture while he fiddles with his armor and the hoodie underneath it. Eventually he manages to reveal his shoulder, complete with the glyph for Nexus Prime's. Also with a tattoo that reads S.T.A.L.K.E.R. on his forearm.]

A pleasure; I am Strelok.

[[...Location = Unknown. Unspecified coordinates; not within Haven.

Still in need of assistance?_]]

[Text]

[gtfostalker]

Someone is on their way. I appreciate the question, though. Thank you.

I am Strelok, by the way.

[kick_astromech]

[[Oh good.

Identification = Logged with current frequency.

Designation = R2-D2_]]

[Text]

[gtfostalker]

R2-D2? I guess you're a robot of some sort, then? It's nice to meet you regardless.

[Text]

[kick_astromech]

[[Affirmative!

Strelok = Nice to meet you as well._]]

[Text]

[gtfostalker]

Ah good! I had hoped so. Perhaps I will see you went I get back.

[kick_astromech]

[[Very likely. Population here = Minimal.

Save travels!_]]

[raceme]

[The view is a momentary relief, a glyph means you won't go insane.] Ah, good. I'm part of Vector.

Itsnicetommetyou. I'm B-L-U-R-R. How come you appeared here and not int eh temple? How strange. [It's more a confused general question than one directed at the man.]

[gtfostalker]

[He pulls everything back down into place and nods.] Vector. The, ah... knight, yes? Little bit stodgy.

Appear in the temple? Why would I do that, I have been here for... [Strelok pauses, eyes unfocusing as he thinks, but he shakes his head.] ... I cannot remember how long, so a long time. I just sometimes leave the Haven, and then come back.

[He thinks. He remembers one trip out... part of a trip out.

Doesn't he?]

[adamndoctor]

[Oh, Heavens! Another human possibly?]

Wherever you are, you're in a bad area. Reception is failing.

Hopefully you can... [he pauses] Can you download this? [He's just sent you a map!]

[video]

[gtfostalker]

[Strelok flicks on the video - which is terrible quality - but yes! Another human!

Admittedly, one that's probably malnourished, but still!]

-tside Haven. Reception is a-... -t.

Ah! A m-... -ank you, friend.

[Congrats, McCoy, you've made a friend! Admittedly everyone is his friend...]

[catwoman]

Just like a man, I bet you didn't even stop and ask for directions.
