+ Shot 001
Who: Tay Barnam and YOU!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Now
[ the camera focuses on the form of a tall (very tall), teenage girl who has not yet woken up. She's sprawled on her stomach, one arm dangling down as though she rolled over and didn't quite manage to stay on the cot.
It pans down her back, where the tops of two rather nasty-looking scars are peeking out above her tank top. It's a ~very dramatic reveal~ that the viewers back home will probably be deeply intrigued by.
After a moment, she shifts and groans. She pushes herself up, finally awake, and freezes halfway up.
This is not the motel room she was expecting to be in.
Her free hand moves immediately to the small of her back, finding nothing, and then her ankle, finding nothing but army surplus cargo pants and combat boots. ]
Where the fuck are my guns?

Where the fuck are my guns?

Be armed and ready to deal with shit?
Like I want to be unarmed in some strange place with people who could be planning to use me as a blood sacrifice for all I know? No thanks, Dad taught me better than that.

...They don't seem interested in having blood sacrifices. They aren't occultists. It seems more that we were brought here to be watched as some sort of...entertainment.
Everyone whose arrived received a specialization augment. If yours is security, you'll get an armory with weapons once you're assigned to a ship. i don't know how well the weapons in those armories actually work, but I do know it won't be your guns specifically. So I hope you aren't particular about your weapons.
If you aren's security and you don't have one on your ship...well, I supposed it'd be a matter of making do with whatever else you can think of. There hasn't been a need for a fight yet, though.
Re: Video
[ Well. That was... moderately useful information, she supposes. ]
...Well that's something, I guess. How the hell am I supposed to know what my specialization thingy is? Just think real hard about it?
Video
Essentially. [He gives a slight shrug] If you haven't figured it out by the time you get assigned somewhere, it should be listed in your ship's roster.
Video
Well, they'd gotten hold of some real bad necro spells, I was 12, got to go along with the cousins to take 'em out. Probably would've fucked up the whole area for years if we hadn't stopped 'em, necro stuff is tetchy, especially with as much magic around as we found there. They had no idea what they were doing, which would've made it worse.
Video
Hmm...that is bad. It's very a good thing you stopped them.
What were they trying to do with the necromancy spells? Bring back the dead?
Video
Video
Of course it does. Especially with necromancy. At the very least, it's important to know if it's an isolated incident, or just a part of a much larger problem.
Video
We hadn't had any other incidents in the area that I know of. Anyway, that's what research people are for.
Video
Are you part of some sort of organisation?
[An idea that makes him wary considering how great the Black Order was, but hey, not gonna voice that]
Video
[ Yeah, with your crazy militant demon hunting cult of a family that any demon and most other non-mundane folks in North America who've been around for a few years has heard of.
But sure, you can downplay it. ]
Video
[...That's...kinda freaky but hey considering he was raised by a clown he guesses he can't judge too much]
Sounds like an interesting family. You said necromancy only happened once, what do you guys usually deal with?
Video
Mostly we hunted demons, though.
Video
Ah, demon hunting. That makes sense.
I didn't know guns were very effective against demons. Are they a special kind?
Video
They're tougher, but you can't tough out a bullet in the brain.
Video
But I see. Your demons must be different from the ones I know. Most of the time bullets will either bounce off or just make them mad.
