voice, 001

[deadandred]

[The comm’s broadcasting voice, because it’s simplest. It looks like a fancy walkie-talkie, why wouldn’t it work like one? Bucky sounds -- well, a little tired, and a little confused, but being alive is good enough for him right now.]

This is Sergeant James Barnes, 107th infantry. Does anyone wanna tell me why I’m on a spaceship, or am I just hallucinating I’m Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers?

[A little bit of a pause.] A year would be good, too. Since I’m pretty damn sure this isn’t 1945, and I’m going to assume that since the controls aren’t in German, we won. We did, right? [Howard's told him a few things, but -- not everything. There's a lot to catch up on, after all.]

….Anybody out there? Help a fella out.

[Her tone is soft and friendly.]

Hey, soldier. Year isn't important, really. I'm from 2083 and nah, the Nazis didn't win. No one knows why we're here. There's a guidebook.

[Shrike sends it, since it's obvious he hasn't seen it.]

If you're from 1945 I can come teach you how to use the comm better. Even set you up with an encryption. I'm Liberty. How you holding up?

voice

[deadandred]

That'd be appreciated. [There's a slight pause.] I'm ..holding up alright, I guess. This is a pretty sudden change, but there are people I know around.

voice

[amethysts]

Where you at?

And hopefully they're not, you know. Assholes.

[YOUNG LADY.]

text.

[ironsights]

Many people here are from different years, or from places where WWII didn't matter.

[deadandred]

[Because he doesn't want to bother with text, right now.]

One of 'em you?

Video

[bottlearum]

Ain't gotta clue why we're here mate. Just are.

An' it ain't 1742, I can tell ya that much.

voice;

[deadandred]

[The video makes him blink a bit, but he's dealt with weirder things.]

That's pretty existential of you.

...No, last thing I knew it was 1945.

voice

[falsehoods]

["Barnes"...why does that name feel familiar?]

None seem to know the purpose for us being here.

voice

[deadandred]

I've kinda gathered that, yeah.

[majestyofthethrone]

My grandpa used to watch Flash Gordon when he was a kid.

The Allies won World War II.

voice;

[deadandred]

Thanks for making me feel old. [It's a joke, but not exactly a good one.]

...Good. That's good.

[chromosomes]

Staff Sergeant John Grimm, United States Marines. No one knows why we're here but we're fairly certain we're not hallucinating.

Think someone said it was 900-something "After Earth", but it's 2046 A.D. where I'm from. The Allies won World War II.

voice;

[deadandred]

Pleased to meet ya, sir.

...Thanks. That's a helluva relief to hear.

[hostage]

You fought the Nazis?

[ video ]

[deadandred]

[He's managed to figure out some things by now, so -- hurray video!] I sure did. HYDRA, too.

[purrfectlycute]

[ for a minute she wavers on whether or not to show her face on video, then decides that this guy probably is dealing with enough and doesn't need to add OH SHIT GREY ALIENS to that list. not at the moment anyway. so here, have the voice of someone who sounds like a young girl. ]

Hello Mr. Barnes, I'm Nepeta! I'll try to answer anything to the best of my abilities, but unfurtunately I don't really have an answer fur you as to why we're here. I'm sure others have some good theories though!

( voice )

[deadandred]

Yeah, doesn't look like anyone does. That's alright, though.

[voice]

[fuckinghysterical]

I think everyone else explained it well enough -- eheheh -- but the Axis Powers were defeated, mostly thanks to the Cobra Unit.

You were in that war, though? [a slight pause.] Did you know the Cobras, then?

[Yes Bucky, enjoy all of these different alternate universe explanations.]

[voice]

[deadandred]

....Uh, no. I knew the Howling Commandos, never heard of the Cobras.

[snaketrap]

[ Didn't you die? ] My, such an accomplished life you've already lived. I do suppose the welcoming team has already answered many questions, but please feel free to ask should one linger.

Dow do you fair? War, as I know it, is a heavy burden for the mind.

voice

[deadandred]

[Missing in action, thank you very much. :|] I think I'm set, but thanks, fella.

I'm alright as anyone can be, I guess. [Which is not entirely true, but details.]

[video] late forever

[the_vishual]

German?

[video] no worries!

[deadandred]

Well, yeah. If we'd lost, everything would be in German.

[withfireandblood]

I hope that you did. [ Win. Daenerys isn't sure what it is that he's hoping to have won, but it would be a nice feeling if he did - even if it doesn't mean much here ]

Little is known of here. Having that would be nice for you.

[deadandred]

[His war, but it's alright. He wasn't very clear on that point.]

Apparently we did, so -- that's nice to know, I guess. There's not a whole lot it does for me in space, but it's good to know we didn't fight for nothin'.
