007: AMAs, Third Round
So, we've got a load of new people, and that means it's time for me to do the only thing it feels like I get on these comms to do anymore: AMAs.
For you new people, I find it helps when we get together and explain a little bit about ourselves, any powers we have, and our skillsets. That way we know what we're starting with and what we can build off of. So, please, come and introduce yourselves and be willing to answer questions.

[Except breaking them, she's real good at that.]
It's just...well, we're about to be in a three-way alien war on top of the civil war we already had. We need all the help we can get.
no subject
[ Finally South stops just grumping in the background and chimes in. ]
████, and I thought our war was hell. Dealing with the Covenant and Insurrection at the same time was bad enough. Three-way alien war?
no subject
Zerg hivemind infesting terran colonies. Protoss expeditionary force "sterilizing" any world with zerg contact. And us, smack in the middle of our civil war.
no subject
████. That sounds like a ████in' nightmare. Sure, the Covenant was trying to wipe us out but at least we weren't dealing with anyone else. Except other humans being idiots, but that's almost a given.
[ Oh if only South knew. ]
Yeah, you sure sound like you need all the help you can ████in' get.
no subject
[Oh no, she's space racist.]
no subject
████ only knows. We didn't do ████ to the Covvies before they came after us, they just went right to intergalactic genocide. Go figure, huh.
[ South's no better. ]
no subject
[Jerks.]
Did yours even tell you what their problem was?
no subject
Ugh, collateral ████ing damage. That’s the worst.
Nah, not really, not the last I knew anyway. Something something alien religion or... something. [ Vague hand gestures. ] Whole planets turned to glass just because they decided we needed to be gone, apparently.
[ She honestly sounds much too casual about this. Such is growing up essentially never really knowing a universe not at war. It sucks, but she’s used to it. ]
no subject
I hope the protoss don't outclass us by that much. Or at least that they're willing to talk if they do.
[She shakes her head.]
Is this that "Great War" whatsisname was talking about the other day?
no subject
[ South instinctively pulls a face just at the mention of Price. God she hates that dude. ]
Yep, that’s the one. Been going on long as I can ████in’ remember. We were meant to be a ‘magic bullet’ to stop the damn thing but, well. You can kinda see how that worked out.
[ Yeah. Didn’t go like that at all. The war was still going when Project Freelancer fell apart, and it eventually ended without them doing a thing. ]
no subject
A bull████ black project backfired horribly? Who'd have thought.
[She might have some experience there.]
no subject
[ South snorts. ]
Yeah, clearly no one could see that one coming, huh?
[ Eye roll. Then, a more serious look; she sort of quirks a brow at Kerrigan, a silent, acknowledging ‘you too, huh?’ but by now South knows well enough not to say or ask potentially sensitive stuff on the network when she doesn’t know what’s already out there. The Freelancers have had their dirty laundry aired for them, South isn’t about to pry into another’s. So she just carries on, leaves it open but unsaid. ]
All that stuff he said? Lot of it was bull, but like... there really was a leaderboard, like, ████, hardly the worst thing that happened but talk about a red flag when we were supposedly a ‘team’.
[ Nevermind that she got caught up in it, same as so many of the others. She sees it for what it is now, anyway. ]
no subject
What were debriefings like? How do you score a mission? "Sorry, you used too many grenades, minus five points."
[Those questions are mostly rhetorical because wow.]
no subject
[ South snickers a little. ]
████, if only it were that transparent. To this ████in’ day I don’t think any of us understand the numbers. It was ████shit. Wouldn’t be surprised if it were totally made up depending on how far up the Director’s ███ the stick was that day.
[ Recent revelations accounted for... yeah, she actually is pretty sure it was all rigged. Her face flashes briefly with anger but she levels it out again immediately. ]
no subject
[Kerrigan might have some experience with mind games.]
no subject
Y'know what, yeah. You're right on the ████in' money there.
[ Her and North. Carolina and Texas. Yeah. Kerrigan's dead on. ]
Sparks definitely ████in' flew.
no subject
[Kerrigan huffs.]
no subject
Ugh, yeah, ████ psychologists. Never met one I didn't think was talking ████ and then, well. All that.
[ Price is his own classification of terrible psychologist. Way to ward some messed up people off ever wanting to go get therapy to deal with their shit. ]
no subject
Yeah.
[Rather than beat the dead horse of Freelancer's suckitude, she changes the subject to one she suspects is of interest to both of them.]
Hey, you wanna go a few rounds sometime?
[That's how you make friends, right?]
no subject
[ Totally how you make friends. ]
████ yeah, always down for a good fight. Gonna have to wait for this stupid thing [ she holds up her splinted hand ] but after that, I'm game. Though, maybe if they let me check-out my armour...
[ Her armour does not actually safely accommodate for a broken hand, and she doesn't even know if that's a thing she can do anyway, but she hates not being able to train properly right now. Should've thought about that before punching a metal wall. ]
no subject
████ no, I do not do CQB against power armor. That's what marines are for.
[She said "hell." The filter is getting overzealous.]
no subject
[ South gives an amused snort. ]
Yeah, that's fair. Soon as this hand's not a broken piece of ████ then, you're on.
no subject
[Introductions are a thing people do, right? Right.]
no subject
Kerrigan. [ An acknowledging nod. ] Alright. South, but, uh, I said that.
[ Introductions! Always awkward in South's experience. ]
no subject
See ya around, South.
[She cuts her end of the feed.]
