Brand New (OTA) [video]

[runes_brand]

[Brand has been kidnapped, disarmed, and tortured with bad slide shows, electric shocks, and small talk. Today can officially get fucked. At least fallout from the fucking "Go-Away bombs" hasn't suppressed his bond to Rune -- he can feel him just fine, even if he's not entirely sure what to make about the emotions he's getting. But that can be resolved and soon as he fucking finds Rune, which would be easier if he had any fucking idea of where to start.

The sensor in front of the Mess only gets a scowl, and Brand stalks off to find another place to hole up and try and get in touch with Rune. It doesn't take him long to find something that looks like a corporate break room threw up on itself.

When an unfamiliar face appears on the network, it's wearing a near-homicidal expression, because that's just how Brand looks when he doesn't fucking know where Rune is.]

Where the [BEEP] is Rune Saint John?

[Do you answer this angry stranger about one of your fellow New Hires? Or do you try to find out more?]

I'm afraid those settings are not the ones that we can access. Because being able to change things to our liking on these things might be a detriment to morale or a distraction from our real work.

[Can you hear the sarcasm in that, Brand? Because Sam is doing his best.]

Hopefully, he'll pause long enough to look at the comms and get a better idea of where you're at.

[Brand acknowledges the information (and acceptable levels of sarcasm) with an expressive noise of disgust.]

[BEEP].

[At least Rune's here. Somewhere.]

He'll figure something out.

[Brand kicks one of the couches a couple times to test its sturdiness before throwing himself into it. For no particular reason it seems, because he's back on his feet a less than half a minute later, prowling the room in agitation.]
