[VIDEO | Solus Prime's temple]

[cec_engineer]

I wish I could say being transported to another universe was the strangest thing that's happened to me.

[Despite his initial comment being fairly light hearted, Isaac is frowning.]

Assuming these robots haven't been loaded with the wrong data, I'm supposed to believe I'm on a planet called Cybertron? Can't say I've heard of it before.

[Sigh] At least I'm... safe now. I assume these robots have some sort of defense function - God knows I could use a break.

Anyway, the original broadcast of this video was to see whether I'm alone or not. Spending the rest of my natural life with these mechs isn't really my idea of retirement.

video; HOW COULD YOU????

Mine's still not sure I'm alive.

[ She takes a seat on a rock to continue talking, ]

Shit. Well, then I guess we're both glad you're here.

Can't think of a time when anonymity hasn't been useful, so that might come in handy if- when you get back.

Ha, cute. Everything on a broken ship full of zombies is 10 times scarier than normal.

[Did he forget to mention the whole necromorph thing? Oops!]

Video; yeah, permission revoked sir.

Zombies.

[ Did you just say that. ]

Re: Video; ;_;

[cec_engineer]

... Aliens that happen to look like mutated people?

[M-maybe he got a little bit too comfortable. He's only human!]

I just got through telling you I came back to life, you can't seriously think something like zombies would make you look crazy.

[It was that look, ok. Shepard has an impressive presence and Isaac is rather meek in comparison.]

Eh, true. I guess both our lives are fucked up enough that we'll fit right in here.

See, that's the spirit.

[ She shrugs. ]

Zombies got anything to do with body farming you were mentioning?

Re: Video;

[cec_engineer]

No idea. What I do know is that the USG Ishimura made a ton of test tube babies; to use in the farming or just for extra hands, I don't know. They also got infected with the virus [calling it a virus is so much easier than explaining the whole Marker dealie], so forgive me if I have a natural bias against the industry.

It didn't help that the corpses are weaponized unpon death, either. This suit is sturdy as hell but when you're being smacked around by an abomination of about five different people mashed together, it sure does show its weak points.

I would too, I have a sinking feeling a scandal like that is more your universe than mine.

That---[ Doesn't make any damn sense. Weaponizing a corpse? ]

I'll give you a few pointers. Atmospheric pressure falls pretty high above alien zombies.

Re: video;

No doubt, I'm starting to realise how much of a crapsack it is in comparison to others.

[It's hard to explain, ok! Oh god pls stop looking at him like that its making him nervous] I mean like, the ribs are forced outwards and combined with the arm bones to make spike type things that they use as a primary attack. They're generally just all about spikes and acid.

I'll try to bare that in mind next time I'm encounter them. Assuming I'm not too scared shitless to think clearly, of course.

[He's not really gonna try and pretend he's anything but terrified of them.]
