first mission ; video ; near prima's temple

[constituent]

 [ So waking up happened. It was absolutely disorienting, and let Shepard tell you, she's already had a few of those 'out-of-body' experiences. Spoiler alert; every single one of them sucked. Flashbacks of dying weren't pleasant either; it took some concentration and a few deep breaths to remind her that all that was long since past. Getting out of the temple was a side quest in itself, but she's finally out in the open, hoping the lack of concrete and stone and whatever else the literal monument was made out of wouldn't mess with her frequencies. 

She's pleasantly surprised, her Omni-tool is already adjusted to the frequency change. Completely recalibrated to the Link. Her expression wavers between suspicion and being impressed, and a few screens later, she's in the system. Her voice crackles for a moment as the audio syncs to the video. Hey, it's a Shepard. Her tone is rather cynical, despite her situation. She might still be in some disbelief at what she's been previously told. ]

So I'm not the only refugee then? Who else exactly is here?

[ She'd tell you who she is if she knew whether or not titles applied here. Shep's rather hesitant, after all, you never know who could be watching. ]

Cute nicknames are reserved for crewmates.

But I'm sure I could fit one in quotes after your actual name. Provided you actually give me one.

Tell me which one you're using, and I'm sure I could tell you my designation.

Cute nickname, or actual name?

I won't know til you tell me; gotta have something that rolls off the tongue.

video

[stabbywheelfeet]

You tell me which name you're using, and I'll tell you who I am.

video

[constituent]

You can call me Shepard. Assuming human ranks don't apply on a non-human planet.

video

[stabbywheelfeet]

Nope. And none of us care.

That's a weird name, anyway.

video

[constituent]

Oh good, so you won't mind me stepping on your big robot toes then.

You asked, mirrors. It's my last name.

video

[stabbywheelfeet]

Nope.

[And this is where he just. Hikes his leg up into view, leaning it against his chestplate and -- no one should be that flexible Sideswipe -- displaying his wheeled foot.]

I don't have toes.

It's still dumb.

video

[constituent]

Figure of speech.

[ THAT IS A LITTLE SURPRISING. ]

It's that or Commander. Take your pick.

video

[stabbywheelfeet]

Still.

Your weird name works.

video

[constituent]

Good.

I think I'll stick with Mirrors. That'll be your contact name.

video

[stabbywheelfeet]

Oh. So you noticed.

video

[constituent]

That I got skipped on the introduction?

I had a feeling.

video

[stabbywheelfeet]

No. I meant my paintjob.

video

[constituent]

Yeah, that may have been a factor.

video

[stabbywheelfeet]

Good. Because I look fantastic.

Re: video

[constituent]

The fact you'd need one to figure that out was the biggest factor though.

video

[stabbywheelfeet]

You say that like I don't have one.

video

[constituent]

I say that like I'm sure you have several.

video

[stabbywheelfeet]

Why wouldn't I?

video

[constituent]

You're asking the wrong human, Mirrors.

[ This guy. ]

video

[stabbywheelfeet]

Come on, can't you tell a good looking bot when you see one?

video

[constituent]

Nope. This is frankly, the most robots I've ever seen in a span of 24 hours.

You'll have to forgive my lack of exposure.

video

[stabbywheelfeet]

Autobot. Not robot.

There's a difference.

video

[constituent]

Case and point.

What's the difference?
