 [ So the feed fizzles a bit, but much much less than the last time, before Shepard appears on screen, rather bereaved. She's in some sort of living quarters, having actually taken off the armor and life support, now only in her grays and undershirt. It wasn't like there was much else she had to choose from. Clearing some hair from her face, somewhat balancing the disheveled state she's in. ]

Wouldn't be anyone here with something....like a fan, or a watch. An old school watch, that ticks. 

I guess I'm used to having constant noise while I sleep, so the dead quiet's....well.

[ It's pretty obvious she hasn't slept soundly since she's arrived. ]

Any help would be great. I'll make it up to you.

[Hello Shepard, the feed opens up to the medical bay--not that you've seen that place just yet (or he hopes not). But have a robot waving from the other side.]

Sleep troubles, huh.

I've got a partner with a similar problem.

[ It looks like one too. Who're you? ]

Here and there.

Being on a ship most of your life makes sleeping without the engine in your ears a little difficult. Any pointers?

Ahhh I get it. You've got to have one of those constant noises to lull you to sleep.

Not a bad tactic! Seems weird without it.

I've got a lot of video clips stored in my databanks. Let me see if I've got dull-engine-hum for you.

...Name's Rewind by the way. Can't say I've seen you around.

Sort of. Not unless you can simulate artificial gravity too.

I would owe you one.

Shepard. I've only just got here a while ago. Nice to meet you.

Tell you what, attend one of my movie nights and we'll call it even.

Ah..that'd explain it.


I was kind of MIA for awhile.

Movie nights?

What movies are we talking about?


I see. Yeah, it wasn't too long ago. After the whole Tarn business.

[flashdrive]

Yep! I edit and clip em myself. Usually they're about us Cybertronians and our past. Documentaries...but I did get this boxed set of movies on my bed side...

You ever heard of Sharkanado?

[constituent]

No, but it sounds like it'd be notoriously bad.

I didn't think I'd find anyone much for movies, I gotta say, I'm surprised.

[Video]

[flashdrive]

What, just cause we're on a different planet Well, same for me, just different furniture that we can't have movie nights?

I'll get you a front row seat and everything. Sharkanado, be there.

Not what I meant, more or less I...didn't know movies would be a thing for giant robots.

Okay, okay. I'll definitely be there.
