Who: Nightingale and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva hospitality deck
When: Now!

[action]

[Nightingale's awakening is much lower-key than most, sitting up in the bed and realizing quickly that she is not where she should be. The best way to cope, of course, is looking around, taking in her surroundings, and just talking to herself.]

Okay... So, this must be a game. Don't think I recognize any space Echoes, though... Whatever, I should figure out the win conditions, first. And hope it's not another 'everyone dies' game.

[she lifts a hand, and a strong wind whips through the area, throwing bedsheets and pillows around.]

Okay, magic's still on, that's... usually a good sign.

[She doesn't seem to have noticed the mess she made. Or maybe she doesn't care. Either way.]

[Video]

[Having immediately fallen into the assumption that this is a game, Nightingale isn't too bothered by the idea of being able to operate technology she hasn't seen before- it's not like it's the first time, after all. She takes a deep breath, and starts talking to the camera. Noticeably, she still hasn't cleaned up her prior mess.]

This is Nightingale, from Takshaka. I don't know what's going on, but this game seems a bit different. Can you check in with which teams are here? And Roc, Gull, Hawk, Magpie, Togetic, Sparrow, any of you around?

And which Echo is this, while I'm at it? I don't recognize any with a space theme going on unless it's the damn Bone Witch again. If I see that dress or that whale again, I'm going to find a way to leave in the middle.

That is weird... I hear no one's ever seen a camera here either, right?

I don't believe so, but at the same time, cameras have always been getting smaller and smaller, so it's hard to tell whether they're there, or just so small and well-hidden we can't even see them.

Oh! If we had more advanced sensors we might be able to find some evidence of whether there are cameras or not!

...Not that those kinds of upgrades are available for ships right now.

No matter how small it is, unless it counts as part of the environment, I should be able to target it with my magic, but I'm not seeing anything.

... Unless these things are the cameras, anyway.

Ah, that's true, that's possible, too. Of course, if they really wanted to make it impossible to get away from the cameras, the easiest place would probably be part of the implants, I guess?

Okay, my friends were the ones better with machines than me, but I'm pretty sure a camera in the back of your head won't do much.

It can put information into our brain though, can't it? Couldn't it be getting information from our brain, too? Like, using our eyes for cameras?

I guess that would be pretty far fetched, though.

... No, that's actually possible... Shit, I just wasn't paranoid enough.
