re_alignment | fourth mission / action&video near haven / lightning

[ Typically you didn't really see Shepard with her armor off, but she seems to be making an odd habit of appearing that way to the network. After all, the only point in wearing it was to protect; and there wasn't a whole lot of protecting going on. This time she's not tired or sarcastic, actually, she's sweaty and gross. What she had been doing really sums up her 'morning' routine, at least for a military chick like herself. Morning run, crunches, lunges, etc. The only issue she really carried was the lack of much of anything, and after having done nothing but complain on the network of what she doesn't have (a fan, a shooting range), Shepard instead comes to the network with much different intentions. ]

We need a recreation center or something.

[ Or something? ]

Living out in the boons is going to keep you on your toes, yeah, I get that. But for other things, more specialized---practicing, I guess. Shooting range, weightlifting, kickboxing. Minor human defense.

Who do I go to talk to about that? Or do I just pick a spot and start salvaging?

Agree! We could so use a gym around here. Girl's gotta keep in shape after all.

Maybe we can use a spar room at the Hub. If there is one big enough, that is.

Maybe we could, I was thinking a little bigger, a whole building or just---something bigger than a room.

I didn't know we had one in the Hub.

Boons?

[What is that word.]

I don't think you have to speak to anyone. You can just... do it.

That's reassuring.

I don't want to step on any toes, that's all.

[ She shrugs. ]

It's an old human colloquialism.

I don't think anyone would be hurt if you did step on their toes.

They're made of metal.

[... KAGEROU...]

[ GODDAMMIT ]

I think we need to get you talking to more people more often, Kagerou.

Did I say something wrong?

[ She shakes her head, hiding a smile. ]

No, no you're fine.

I think I'll cut back on the lingo though, just for your sake.

[Oh it's a language thing.]

You'd think I would have learned by now...

You'd think, but it's alright. I don't blame you. We're sort of confusing, even to each other sometimes.

You're one of few, who don't.

Confusing to each other?

I read in an article somewhere that each human language transformed hugely after the introduction of the internet. Each different language had a shorthand of varying intensities.

So around five languages in one.

Five languages in one...

How do you keep them all straight?

I'm not sure about construction, but I could write a training sim if you can find the holographic projectors.

[Might as well make friends with the others in her height range, right?]

[ A training sim. Oh, now someone was speaking her kind of language. ]

I didn't know there was anyone around who could do that.

Enough digging, I'm sure we can find one or two of them. If not, making one wouldn't be that hard.

[Alia grins.]

Well now you do. I'm Alia, nice to meet you.

It might take a while. Don't think it'll be easy to write something for machine languages I'm not familiar with right away... but I could whip up something.

Shepard. Nice to meet you too.

Anything to work with, I'm sure with a couple different hands it's not impossible. I'm not any good with coding, but I can help with hardware.

I think then between the two of us we can make this training center thing work. Just need a location.

There is a shooting range in the games caldera. I set it up myself, mostly. It is a bit of a walk, though. Still, more facilities may not be amiss; not everyone is a shooter.

Well damn, ask and I shall receive. I guess I haven't dragged my ass around this planet enough to see it all yet.

It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to ask for a hand in making one a little closer, would it?

Of course not. It would not hurt to have a couple, there are quite a few armed people around here. Organic and robot.

I am not too much of a builder but we shall see how it works out, yes?

Yeah, that'd be great.

Any hand that helps is a good hand.

Why not just find another human and beat the scrap out of them?

[That's what Drag Strip wants to do anyway.]

Because I'd like to remain friends with the majority of the people I know that are squishy.

And who knows, that may be an option, given a proper setup.

Friends are overrated. Don't need 'em for nothin'.

[Drag Strip scowls and crosses her arms.]

Don't know why ya just don't check out Megatronus' arena.

Must not have had any good ones to start with.

Megatronus? That's another Firstforged then?

[Oh, hey. You're quite... lovely. He thinks a certain friend of his would love to meet you.]

No idea who you take this up with. I'm assumin' one of the Firstforged.

But, good idea. Some of us could afford to blow off some steam. In a healthy, no-doctor-visit-required-after way.

Last I heard they were digging out on us.

[ She snickers, the actual line reminding her of another space idiot/vigilante like herself. ]

If you wanna call it that, Doc. Most stick with 'recreation'.

Hey, if yer lookin' fer a fight, I wouldn't mind givin' ya one.

[IT'S THAT LITTLE PRICK AGAIN.]

You?

Wasn't much of one I got the last time, what's changed?

You will need a building permit first.

[His smirk is wry...mostly because said building permits don't exist yet because he has not made them.]

Which pretty much just involves letting me know where you want to set up shop so we don't have a road planned to go through it.

Might be able to help with the frame, too.
