Who: Kaidan Alenko
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Today

Action

[Kaidan doesn't panic like most people would, but it would be a bold-faced lie to imply that waking up on the Marsiva did not come as a shock. The ship runs as silently as the Normandy, so at first he doesn't quite realize he's somewhere else entirely, but opening his eyes dispels that illusion quickly. He's on his feet in seconds, eyes wide and alert]

What the?!

[But the outburst ends there. Having a temper tantrum wouldn't change anything, after all. Instead, he switches to calmly assessing the situation. His armor is piled near the end of the bed and he sets himself to methodically gearing up, inspecting each piece before strapping or snapping it into place. The onboard computers seem to be functional, but his omni-tool and guns are gone. Not surprising for a kidnapping, but it makes him feel naked even with the armor. He lifts a hand to the back of his neck in another moment of mild panic for his implant port, and finds it in place nestled among the bristle of hair. Just to be sure, he flares his biotics experimentally, a shimmer of blue crackling briefly over his body. N

Not disarmed entirely then. Good.

With that, Kaidan moves to get a better look at his prison
]

Broadcast

[Some time later, Kaidan sits in mess hall with his communications device, giving it something a skeptical leer. Physical keyboard...how antiquated. It feels a little strange, but it's nothing he can't deal with.

The idea that he's been cut off from anyone and everything he's ever known, however, less so.
]

This is going to a shot in the dark but, is there anyone from Earth or the Systems Alliance here? This is Major Alenko, requesting a sitrep. Or...anyone really. I don't think who we work for matters a hell of a lot right now.

[Except maybe Cerberus. He can't shake the idea that the Illusive Man is to blame for this somehow, but he'll take what he can get.

He lets out a restrained sigh of frustration.
]

Look...somebody has me confused with an extranet celebrity and I'm not...I'm not that guy. And if this about the war...I'm just one man. It won't stop us. It won't stop Shepard. So I don't know why I'm here.

Hey there, we got a bunch of Earth people around, but Systems Alliance is a new one for me.

You're with the Drift Fleet, anyway, so I guess now you're kind of an official celebrity if you like it or not. Yay for you. I'm Sokka.

[Sokka is the conductor of the Bad News Train. Choo choo. ]

You can, but no one'll appreciate them. Despite being actual celebrities, we never get to meet our fans. Rude, right?

I mean, okay, they probably don't exist, and this is all a twisted game, but if you're gonna sell a lie, at least really sell it.
alwayscomeback: (It's empty in the valley of your heart)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2016-11-08 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, we have contact. We hit a new star system ever month or so. It's just that no one there knows who we are or what the Fleet is. Take that as you will.

[It's sketchy, is what it is. ]

Nothing the Marsiva has. But our comms people have managed to check out other things-abandoned ships, old waystations- stuff like that. At the moment, though, it's like having pieces of a puzzle that don't fit together just yet.

[It's hard not to sympathize with the newcomers, being rather new still himself. The mention of Earth pings his interest, though, given the rest of what he goes on about, Dante's got a feeling what he knows of Earth is a bit different than what this guy knows. He's military, too, which makes him uneasy. Still, he could at least say something.]

Earth, yeah, but the rest doesn't mean anything. Whatever war's going on for you, it doesn't mean shit to Atroma. They're the ones - one, whatever - that brought you here.

[Galaxy? Is this dude an actual space cadet?? Dante's not even entirely sure what to make of that, though it... kind of sounds cool to be honest.]

No, no one really does. Not even the people who've been here from the start. We visit different worlds and places. They probably would want to keep us as far from our home worlds - and galaxies - as possible. That said, what the fuck is a Reaper?

I'm from Earth! I'm not familiar with Systems Alliance, though.

Sitrep is; we're on a reality video series, I guess? We can't leave. You'll be assigned on a ship later in the week.

[Hey bro why you looking at her like that :c It does give her pause, but in the end she still sees no reason not to help.]

I'm still pretty new myself. At this point your guess is as good as mine. [She shrugs.] I do intend on finding out as much as I can, though.
per_audacia_ad_astra: (sassy)

[personal profile] per_audacia_ad_astra 2016-11-12 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Not really, no. I mean, maybe? But probably not. It's confusing.

[I'm confusing, she thinks. She's never really had to explain herself in too much detail, even those she had met in the Box were already familiar with Exos because of Argos. Turns out it's really hard to describe yourself when you're not even sure quite what you are.]

'Earth' isn't gonna get you very far - you're gonna have to be more specific, there are people from multiple versions of Earth here, and even if someone's from your Earth they're not guaranteed to be from your time so experiences can vary -- like a lot.

[ he nods. ]

None of us really know why we're here, but the official story is we're here to entertain seriously bored aliens. Odds are whatever you have going on back home plays no part, other than, I guess, making you interesting to watch.

[ here, bro, you get a sympathetic smile. ]

If it helps any, you're really not alone on that one. [ ok he gets why he's gaining popularity but still, when he first arrived it all felt like a terrible joke at his expense.

actually, still does. ]


Somewhere else in the multiverse. As far as I know so far, no one on the fleet is a native to whatever reality we're in. But yeah, potentially. Some people are from the distant past or future, some people are pretty close together, some people are from realities so different you can't even determine an equivalent year. I know it sounds overwhelming and headache inducing but here's the good news - I know someone who makes a mean headache potion, and most people'll be up to helping you with whatever you need.

I'm Winn, by way. We haven't worked out a video-chat handshake equivalent yet but I'm open to suggestions -

[ a laugh - score! just what he was going for, he appreciated the people who made him laugh on his first day so much. ]

Oooh, we should get us some of those.

[ he nods, smiling at the introduction. he has trouble with those, he either doesn't do them until well into the conversation - usually when the other person reminds him that hey we've been talking for a while a name would be nice - or he does it too much. ]

Nice to meet you too. I'm the engineer over on the Tourist, you'll be assigned to a ship soon and then you'll be able to shuttle freely between them so if you need me - that's where I usually am.

I feel like at least half of us are from Earth, but I'm a lot less sure about the Systems Alliance.

On the upside? That means you're way more familiar with outer space than the rest of us.
stefanged: (oh really now?)

video

[personal profile] stefanged 2016-11-12 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly? There's no way to tell, but I'd believe it.

[After all, it's not every day that the Fleet pulls in someone who's actually traveled from planet to planet.]

You're military, though - most of us are civilians, or at least, people not typically involved in that line of work.
stefanged: (tell me about it)

video

[personal profile] stefanged 2016-11-12 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Stefan winces. Maybe that hadn't been the best thing to tell him, straight off the bat.] Not really. Most systems have been relatively peaceful.

We did have one enemy attack, but that was well over a year ago.
