Earth and the rest of the Origin System. From Mercury all the way to Pluto and even the void. [That's not comforting that there were other versions of the system and ones caught in different wars. There was always something to fight over it seems.]

It's gotten better with the absence of the Old War but still too much chaos.

I'm more used to chaos than stillness. [Like in the fleet. Not that she objects to it.]

So...are there any humans? Or do you consider yourself human? [Not sure how "tenno" works.]

The feeling is mutual. It's rather off putting to expect fighting but see none happening.

[He nods.] There are plenty of colonists still alive. I suppose the Corpus would count due to their status as Orokin descendants. [The other question makes him pause for bit.] Yes even if we're changed.

I've been here almost three months and so far I haven't seen any fighting unless you count paint ball. [Which is an extremely long time to go as far as she's concerned.]

I'm kind of a changed human myself.

Never knew that paint could be violent.

[That garners more attention from him. Changed like him? Hunh.] ...I don't feel as though it's my place to ask how so. I'll talk your word on it.

Paint has always had it in for us. [There's a little smile before she decides to answer the unasked question.]

Oh, it's fine. I don't hide who I am. [Who has time for that?] I'm a mutant. We're born with some extra curricular abilities.

[He never has had a quarrel with paint before so that's something to try and imagine. Still not as important as the other bit.]

I didn't want to make any assumptions. [Bad first impressions never made things easier in the long run.] I wasn't born like this. There was an accident with a ship I was on. The rest of the Tenno were on there as well. We were trapped in the void and that's what changed us.

I guess it's my turn to not ask how it changed you because that would be rude?

It's ok. The void gave me and the others powers we couldn't control until we were taught how to. That and the use of frames helped with it all.

...I want to say I'm human but the Orokin thought differently. [Good riddance to them.]

Did you all get the same powers? [Just the kind of thing a mutant would ask.]

If you say you're human that's good enough for me. I usually avoid it for myself, but...my parents were both human so it's not like it doesn't fit. I just don't like when people say it as a way of erasing the rest. Like they're being nice. [Oh, you're not a mutant! You're human.]

Same foundation but each of us learned how to use it in different ways. Naramon, Vazarin, Zenurik, Madurai, and Unairu. I was trained in the third.

Erasing someone's identity is rather foul. The Orokin tried to do that by calling us demons and monsters. I'll be sure to not do that.

I don't recognize a single one of those terms, but at least that keeps us par for course. [She smiles at him before it dimming at those terms.] Yeah, we usually got Muties, Freaks, sometimes Mutie freaks. But monsters and demons too. Especially mutants who can't pass for human like me. One of your other new crewmates for instance. My teammate, Kurt.

They were the names of our principles and the schools that we went to master our skills at. It's fine with not knowing them. [He already figured that so far majority of the fleet was not from his system.]

I can understand that. It's unfair for people to try and demean someone over a difference. But Kurt? I haven't met him yet.

I agree, and he'll be the blue one when you do see him. [Knowing Kurt he'll see everyone else before he lets them notice him. Getting to know his surroundings.]

I'll make sure to at the very least say hello to him. [That is the least he do anyway.]

Hello is always a good place to start.

So you transferred here, right?

I did. Wrath made a good argument for me to come over and well Ordis seemed keen on finding a ship that could take us both on so here I am. It's certainly a fine ship if I do say so.

She calls it the best in the fleet. You must have made an impression on her.

Indeed. She helped keep my head straight after waking up in the fleet as well as hope in finding my partner. And the conversations are usually good I suppose.

Those all seem good. Even the lukewarm conversation response. [Kitty looks slightly amused but it softens.]

So, hard adjustment?

Transferring between ships has proven to be much easier than finding myself in the fleet to start with so I call that an improvement. Still trying to do my job and such. It'll take time to get familiar with the layout but I'm trying to also know who makes up the crew.

Joining the fleet was the adjustment I was thinking of. It wasn't so bad for me. This is my second of [waves hand at nothing in particular] these places.

But hey, you managed to meet some of the crew. [Smiling.]

Marsiva felt more like a relay to me so that wasn't too bad aside from the whole missing armor. The fleet itself? I'm used to a single ship, mine, which held myself and Ordis along with whatever gear was necessary. These bigger vessel were mostly Grineer and Corpus controlled predominantly in my system.

I have and so far you all have proven to be friendly. So I say this was a good decision.

That's a plus. Always awkward when you make a terrible mistake. [Have a smirk.]

Not used to being around other people much then?
