re_alignment | 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. ]

There is a lot of no-show-no-tell in this world, I'm afraid.

[Those wings flutter as he speaks.]

Ah...not exactly. It is but...is not?

The best way to describe is...alternate dimension. Only more alternate for you, and less alternate for me.

That....makes more sense than it should.

Alternate universe of your home. Alternate universe where this world exists, because it doesn't so far in mine.

How does that sound so far?

AH! Perfetto!

[His hands clap together a few times.]

Could not have said it better myself, signorina.

You catch on much quicker than some other humans.

Yeah, well, gotta be quick when catching on to certain things, this being one of them.

[ Quick, but she's not exactly high spirited about the explanation. ]

Alternate universes aren't too far off from reality now, are they?

It's rare in humans, I've found.

...

Aha~ Point. They are merely another reality, aren't they.

That's...what I keep being told.

Being existential might not be helping me. How do you get out of here? Or don't I?

You must be more specific about this 'here'.

The building or the planet?

Oh, the, uh. Planet.

Not sure I wanna be hiking away from the building just yet.

Ahaha! If I knew that one, Signorina, would I still be here?

I dunno, would you?

Enough people here, there's gotta be someone who doesn't want to go back home.

Perhaps. But this place seems to take us at points where we were...ah...

busy. You know, with other matters.

No kidding.

[ The bitter is strong with this one. ]

I take it that is the situation with you.

Saving the galaxy?

[Seems to be the case with a lot of organics.]

Is it that obvious?

[ She pinches the bridge of her nose. Someone must've filled him in. ]

Mmm. It seems to be a pattern with the humans.

You are much less whiny, however. Not at all, actually.

Whiny?

[ She has to smile at that. ]

I'm not sure if that's a compliment, or....what that is.

[ She doesn't think she's not whiny. She's just whiny to herself, in private, that's all. ]

Take it as one, signorina~

Believe me. You are a sight for sore optics when it comes to humans.

That, I'll take as a compliment.

I'll keep the whining to a minimum when the need arises.

[ She's not gonna say she isn't one...but a giant robot will. ]

But thanks? I guess?

Appreciated.

[But he's definitely more cheerful than he has been to past humans. So that's...something?]

Anything else you might inquire about before I leave you to your devices?
