first mission ; video ; near prima's temple
[ 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. ]

Who's this?
video;
Kagerou.
video;
I was looking for your name, honestly. Now that I've got it.
One of the many synthetics I'm assuming?

video;
What does that make me?
video;
That's pretty autonomous to me.
video;
[He's also barely a year old so.]
video;
Some people think differently. Personally, I don't.
Don't let anyone take that autonomy away from you. Humans like me lose it all the time.
video;
You don't know me. And you say that so easily?
video;
Well. He wouldn't be the same without his.
video;
video;
He's less of an AI and more part of a...hive like construct. But he deviated. Which suggests autonomy.
video;
You really mean that?
video;
video;
Are you human?
video;
As human gets, yeah.
It's not that hard to believe, is it?
video;
For me.

[Kay was the human being who said these things. Not... random strangers he'd met a few moments ago.]
...
If I ask if you really mean that, you're... going to say "yes". Aren't you?
video;
I won't ask what happened to make it so hard for you to believe. It's none of my business. But I mean it.
video;
...
Human beings happened. I don't know that I'll ever believe any of you.
video;
God forbid, but. Watch one take a couple of bullets for you, and you will. That's all it took to convince me.
video;
Hn. They wouldn't. Not for an AI.
video;
Been there, done that, would continue to do it again for additional support.
video;
WOW YOU SAW NOTHING
