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. ]

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

Why wouldn't I?

You're asking the wrong human, Mirrors.

[ This guy. ]

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

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.

Autobot. Not robot.

There's a difference.

Case and point.

What's the difference?

Oh, you know.

The whole... being alive thing.

Hey, I've yet to be educated on the matter, it's all news to me.

There's a more defined line between alive and not where I'm from. Not that I'm not open to seeing that line erased, so far every---one I've met has been pretty awe-inspiring.

You know, besides you.
