[Video]

[There's a slight crackle as the transmission begins, but it's almost immediately interrupted by a horrendous banging noise, and the screen is momentarily invaded by an out of of focus blob of colour again and again. Beyond the noise, it's possible to make out a voice that seems to be both very far away as well as muffled by something or someone.]

Hey, hey computer. Computer person, you there?

[Thankfully the banging stops after only a few moments; someone's been tapping at the camera, but has since figured out that it isn't doing anything helpful. Without the finger to focus on, the camera is finally able to come into focus, revealing a- well, someone fully decked out in regulation power armor. Someone that sounds very confused and just a little annoyed.]

Okay, cool, guess you're taking a nap or something. Not like a guy's stuck here, no clue where he is, nah go on and take your computer nap and-look get me the hell out of here.

Montana? Cap'n Galt? Galilea? [There's an exasperated noise.] Benedict? Look haha, funny. Come pick me up from where ever this is. The computer is taking a lame-ass nap or something.

(ooc: Oscar Mike is actually semiliterate, so any characters responding in text are likely to have their messages at least somewhat misinterpreted. I'm so sorry)

Huh. Still sounds super freaky. Like, weird freaky. Freaky freaky.

Anyways, one of them could get in here and set coordinates, right?

No one can get onto the Marsiva, for one. Two, if they could, do you think any of them would still be here?

The marawhatawha? You ain't speaking in words, are you?

The Marsiva. That's the name of the ship you're on. And of course I'm speaking with words, what the fuck else would I be using?

Sounds like one of them nerd names that nerds give to stuff. This Marseeva, that the name of the computer person here? Dude? Lady? Non-binary entity? Don't want to insult.

It does? I don't know who named it, it just the name of the ship. I don't think there's a computer person there, at least not one who's talked to us.

Well maybe they're just shy! Some of 'em are. 'course some of 'em go on and on about the pointlessness of existence and the farce that is free will, but you just kinda tune them out like lalalala yup still listening buddy.

Or maybe there isn't a computer person there.

That's not how it works though. There's always a computer person.

Maybe there is where you come from. But that's not how it is here.

That's...how it's supposed to work though. It's not different anywhere else.

[Mind might be in the process of being blown.]

Um. Every universe is different. This right here is super different than where I'm from.

And we don't have computer people like that where I'm from either.

How the hell do you get around then? You got some damn good pilots then?

A lot of the ships do have pilots, yeah. The pilot on the Windrose is Kitty.

Kitty? Like the meow-meow sheds everywhere kind of thing? Huh. Really is some freaky different universe thing, isn't it.

No, like Kitty who is super awesome and can walk through walls.

Wait, you got a cat that goes through walls? What the hell?

She's a person named Kitty who can walk through walls.

Why would someone name someone after a cat? Like, that could get confusing.

But walking through walls? Totally sweet.

I don't know. You could ask her some time if you're that confused.

Nah, talkin' and stuff get complicated sometimes. Sometimes it's better to just sit back and not overthink on everything. One of those zen kinda things, except not in the hippie way.

But can like...everyone go through walls or something?

[Everyone has some sort of special gimmick, that's how the world works after all.]

Can you be zen and not a hippie?

No? That's just her power. Everyone is good at different stuff.

Well yeah. You get out there and it's like BLAM BLAM BLAM and you're shootin' dudes and everything is all real calm inside, y'know?

[Not that that's particularly normal, but he's not one to care.]

Oh. So like, she jennerit or something? Sounds like something they'd do.

Oh, well that's just like normal right.

[AHAHAHAHAHA WUT IS NORBAL]

...I don't know what that is.

Jennerit, y'know, freaky space vampires. Seems like something they'd do.
