So do ya'll do that every month, or did I get lucky missin' out on all the fun? [you can practically hear the air quotes around "fun"]

Anyway, call it curiosity or boredom if you want, but has anyone else done this song and dance before? I'm talkin' about the gettin' dragged to other worlds nonsense, but if any of ya'll come from a world with space travel, humor and me and tell me about that, too. I'll even give points out for someone who manages to surprise me with somethin' new.

[he pauses before he ends the video]

Hell, why not - if Oceanic Flight 815 means anything to you, come on down and let's chat.

I don't know if my timeline will be the same as yours but...I believe we figured out FTL in '48...sorry, 2148. First contact was in 2157.

[He lets out a breathy chuckle] E.T. like that old vid? Not exactly. We're definitely not the only life in the galaxy, though.

[rednecking]

Wow. [there isn't any sarcasm in it for once] You're a good 140 years after me. It was 2007, last I checked.

. . . yeah, like the old vid. Glad you at least got the reference.

2007. You know...nine months ago I would have said that was impossible.

[He rubs a hand over the back of his neck contemplatively, and he chuckles again]

Hey, you gotta appreciate the classics.

video

[rednecking]

You and me both, buddy. You and me both.

[even if the time is a little fuzzy]

'Least someone around here does. Points for appreciation.

video

[bi_otic]

I try. So, uh, what are the points good for?

video

[rednecking]

Absolutely nothing. [he gives a big ol' grin]

video

[bi_otic]

That's false advertising. [But he's clearly not unamused]

video

[rednecking]

Hey, never said they were worth anything. Just that I'm handing out points.

video

[bi_otic]

You got me there.

video

[rednecking]

Indeed I do. [what a pleased shithead] So, space cadet - got a name, or am I gonna start with the nicknames early?

video

[bi_otic]

[He chuckles again] Kaidan Alenko. Though I 'space cadet' isn't the worse thing you could come up with.

What's yours?

video

[rednecking]

I'm on my best behavior right now, gotta keep the nicknames tame for now.

Call me Sawyer. Nice to meet ya, Kaidan.

video

[bi_otic]

Sure. Same to you. Just let me know when you have more space related questions. I'll do my best.

[rednecking]

I'm sure once I settle in I'll have plenty, so you'll be the first I call.
