VIDEO ☢ OO1。

[anomalyse.livejournal.com]

[ What up, Tranquility. There's a man on your video feed looking pretty damn tired, despite appearing (and acting) otherwise cheerful. Ohhhhh boy, it's been awhile since he's done his Temple TV stuff, but this is. Basically the same. Right? Okay. Just do it. ]

Hi. Connor Temple here. So, starting off, aside from the whole spaceship thing, I wanted to see how everyone's doing. Being lonely's pretty horrible, and if anyone's a bit under the weather, I know how you feel. Might do a film night, actually. There's gotta be some quality material in the media libraries—I haven't checked or anything, but some popcorn and a top 10 list shouldn't be too hard to find. So. Might be nice.

Moving on—I'm pretty good with technology, so if any of you need anything of yours fixed, I'd be happy to help. Otherwise, I'll be in the engineering department, on... well, some level for now, not sure which. So just give me a call if you need me, number zero-zero-one, zero-two-six, and I'll come running.

Okay, now everyone can ignore this next part. It won't apply to you. Unless your name is Abby Maitland. Then it will definitely apply.

[ Connor pauses for a moment, then speaks. His voice slides up a tiny bit in pitch when he does, hopeful and searching; he's looked for Abby, of course, scoured the medbay and passenger rooms within an inch of their lives—but he knows Abby's a smart woman, and she'd have made herself known if she was actually here. One more thing left for him to do, then. And that's ask the entire network. ]

So—if your name is Abby—you there?

[ There's wait of maybe thirty seconds. His eyes dart to the side, as if listening. No answer.

Not like he expected one. 8( ]

Worth a shot. Back to your regularly scheduled network program.

[ W e l p. Weak salute. That wasn't too bad, but he looks pretty crestfallen. Ughhhh, feelings. TIME TO BURY THEM IN WORK. Which brings him to... ]

> to: $ward / $resnik | TEMPLE encryption | 100%

[ BUT WAIT, it's a private feed. Not that it necessarily needs to be, but he'd wanted a reason to test this new encryption out on the Big Wigs.

He clears his throat. ]

Just wondering—where we're stopping, Tansei, I think it was—are we getting any peripheral items? Besides food, I mean. And can they be requested at all? If not, that's perfectly fine. It's nothing important, really—just wanted to build something to pass the time, and some extra materials would be pretty cool to have. This place isn't exactly made of fun and games.

Just get to back to me when you can. Rock-n-roll.

( text | PRIVATE | and he'll bump up that encryption for you by about 100% )

[anomalyse.livejournal.com]

hey capa
in general? yeah, quite a bit actually. why?

[text] keywords relevant.

[asclepion.livejournal.com]

[text] it is a not-sucky plan!

[anomalyse.livejournal.com]

nope, no idea.
which is why i'm kind of hoping for that top 10 list...
so we don't have to use trial and error.

[annnnd have a near-immediate response.

don't worry, resnik's listening too.]

What did you have in mind?

[anomalyse.livejournal.com]

Well, first off... [ He pauses. It's not that he doesn't trust you, Ward. It's just that he doesn't trust you enough. Still, he said he's do this for Capa, so HERE IS AN ADDITION: ]

Does USB data cable ring a bell? Or just USB, actually. Universal Serial Bus?

—Hang on. [ SHUFFLING THROUGH PAPER OFF TO THE SIDE ] If it's possible, I'll need some metal, too. Aluminum, chromium, iron, palladium, platinum... um, a welding machine, an electrode holder with a lead—a lot of leads—a ground clamp and electrodes. Probably a chipping hammer. And a wire brush. Is any of this on board?

[ A little girl's voice is clearly heard after a sigh. ]

I've been paying very close attention to everyone here. I do not know anyone by the name of Abby, and I don't think they're currently present... I'm sorry.

[ voice ]

[anomalyse.livejournal.com]

[ Hold on—a little girl's voice? Something is Not Right with this picture. ]

Thanks. [ SOB ] She's probably back home. Which is probably better than being here, so...

[ ... ]

Sorry, how old are you?

You want to have a movie night?

[ seriously that isn't the only thing she got from the post. she has to feel him out first before jumping to tech questions okay?! ]

Would there be any way you can help me build some equipment from schematics and notes? Some of the equipment here isn't what I'm used to.

[anomalyse.livejournal.com]

sure thing!
do you have those notes with you? i'm trying to get some materials as we speak

A film will not be necessary.

Weather conditions will effect neither the Tranquility nor it's crew.
[ what are idioms ]

voice;

[anomalyse.livejournal.com]

[ Oh, Spock, where would he be without you?

Laughing a lot less, that's for sure. You probably heard that amused snort just now. ]

Metaphorical weather, mate. It's a saying.

voice;

[flares.livejournal.com]

[ See, this is why we're bros. ]

An idiomatic expression about decreased morale.

voice;

[in-three.livejournal.com]

You spent how many years at the Academy and didn't hear that expression once?

voice;

[in-three.livejournal.com]

Library doesn't have anything I recognize.

[not that this deters Jim.]

So where are we setting up this theater?

voice;

[anomalyse.livejournal.com]

Don't have an exact date planned. Figured I'd gauge interest first. [ HE'LL DO IT ANYWAY IF HE HAS TO ]

[affective]

missing a friend?

and are there even any films on this thing that wed recognize
or are you just going to pop random things into the player and see what happens

text

[anomalyse.livejournal.com]

girlfriend yes

[ ;-; ]

it's why i want that top 10 list
saves the weeding out of the less interesting films
i mentioned this to someone else but i'm really hoping we don't come across space eastenders
or even space hollyoaks
i reeeeally don't think i could handle that

Ah think Ah might hafta take y'all up on that offer. We don' have a lot o' techno thingies back home in Equestria, so Ah don' really know how t' use it.

[She pauses.]

Movies?

[video]

[anomalyse.livejournal.com]

Y'know, like—films—

[ A similar pause, on his end. Wat. ]

—Equestria?

Video;

[gofortheoptics]

[A very purple video pops up into view.]

I think that's a good idea; bonding and everything.

I'm sure I'll run into you in Engineering, as well.

[Pause.]

I'm a bit hard to miss in this place.

[anomalyse.livejournal.com]

[ Dude, cool helmet or coolest helmet? ]

I'm seeing that. [ He blinks, and then offers an awkward smile. ] Don't think we've met.

[scopedrop.livejournal.com]

[ Cough don't mind him being late to the party, but hey, Tali's here. ]

A film night?

You have interesting priorities. [ An appreciative smile. Or as much of one as a turian can give it's mildly recognizable as a smile okay. ] But it's a good idea. Lift spirits in the face of uncertain doom, and all that.

video;

[anomalyse.livejournal.com]

[ NO PARTY LATENESS EVER ]

So they tell mohgod. [ Connor's eyes widen, and he cocks his head, staring. You are—is that smiling? You. Alien. That looks like smiling. Or grimacing. Whatever. Alien smiles, no big deal, just get it together.

He clears his throat, and proceeds... as... usual. Honestly, Connor, you'd think you'd have expected to actually speak to an alien sooner or later. :| ]

Not a big fan of uncertain doom, to be honest. Spirit-lifter, that's me.
