[hello everyone! she waves a little awkwardly, all blue and tattoos on her hands and down her arms, even as she shifts a little with a cheery smile.]

Wasn't there a story in Earth literature, in the 1800s about a man that fell asleep for 20 years? He slept through all of these landmarks in history and his own life. I suppose I exaggerate, but I am pretty sure the sentiment is the same. [a beat; sleeping is for organics and she's never "slept".]

I was hoping if you could help, it's sort of a long shot but ... I'm wondering if someone might have been brought here while I was asleep? He's 7'2, wears heavy armor bearing the insignia of an eagle and the letters UNSC and answers to Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan-117.

[he shouldn't be here, but she's been monitoring everything before she went into stasis, she doesn't want him to slip through the cracks- she can breathe easier once she realizes that he hasn't shown up.]

If he's out there, and he doesn't see this, tell him Cortana is looking for him.

[for a moment, it drops as she looks to the ground before looking back up again and putting it back on her face.]

If he's not here, you have one handy civilian consultant you can use. Put me to work anywhere, especially computer systems you can say that I live and breathe them.

[This is weird. She looks like someone he left behind and yet she has tattoos and this is weird.

But she mentioned UNSC and Spartan and him in particular so he gets over it and just answers anyway. Jai dun like you UNSC folks but he'll do it anyway, at least Halsey isn't here to threaten to remove him from the people he cares about again.]

What's it to you if a Spartan is on board?

[overthought]

[her eyes narrow slightly, as if trying to take him in. he wasn't anyone recognizable, but he knows the spartans enough to respond that way.]

Not a Spartan, A Spartan. [she crosses her arms, her lips forming a very thin line.]

Sound off; who are you? [do you know who I am?]

[grayleader]

[His own eyes narrow and he tilts his head once. Just enough to think before snorting. Gray Team isn't exactly known for their professionalism alas.]

I'll only tell you who I am if you tell me who you are. [That's a no on "Do you know who I am?". He's from many years in her past.]

UNSC AI- CTN 0452-9, designation Cortana. [she's put her out there, his turn.]

Time for you to return the favor.

video!

[rubblegoddess]

Oh, Spartans? I have one of those.

video!

[overthought]

It's rare to have one on board in the first place. We must be really lucky.

video!

[rubblegoddess]

I know I am. I think I stole this one.

[All smiles, here! Hello again!]

[voice forever!]

[ryuuzaki]

[The young man's voice sounds more curt than it otherwise might, and weary.]

If you have experience with computer systems, you might consider joining Communications. We're usually understaffed.

[More so in the time he spent having a fever-dream in a pod, but he's not sure how much... who's disappeared, who's joined in the interim, who's still there.]

video on her end!

[overthought]

Really? Just name what you need done, and I'll happily do it.

[ryuuzaki]

[What do they do? They spend a lot of time babysitting the network, outside of special projects and, apparently, sometimes making themselves a beacon for pirates.]

Specific assignments would come from Nathan Petrelli. I can only tell you that you'd probably be useful.

How experienced would you say you are?

Voice

[testgasm]

Haven't seen him, no, sorry. But I think I have read that book! Maybe. I've read a lot of books, sometimes it's hard to keep them all straight. Definitely sounds familiar, though.

video.

[overthought]

It's mostly so that he isn't here, but I appreciate the help. [she gives him a weak smile because he's such a cutie.]

When it comes to literature, I'm afraid that I'm not as overzealous as some people might be.

[testgasm]

Van...something. Something Van Something. Was his name. Slept for a very long time, woke up with a huge--with a huge beard. Just give me a minute or two, I'm sure it'll come to me.

[notthesecondworstfighter]

UNSC?

[That's what grabs his attention first. Pretty difficult to ignore something that actually sounds familiar around here. And of course, he's heard of Spartans, of that Spartan, even if he's never seen one, so his attention is officially captured.

He might be a little suspicious, though. Living and breathing computer systems, and all that blue and those tattoos? Wash is pretty certain right off the bat that he knows what she is, and it causes him to come off rather guarded. Or, more guarded than usual.]

I haven't seen him. I've heard there's a Spartan on board, but I don't think it's him.

[overthought]

Clarification for what it is or are you reporting in?

[that spartan. her spartan. there's no difference anymore really. the moment that she hears the italicized him though, her face falls a little, as if she was trying to prepare to be relieved but she's just a little disappointed.]

Lucky for us, right? If he had shown up, we'd know we were in deep waters.

video;

[notthesecondworstfighter]

Of the two options, reporting in comes the closest.

[It was mostly surprise and maybe mild curiosity that caused the questioning repeat to slip out, but sure. Reporting in. He'll go with that. But he's thoroughly unimpressed with taking that route.]

We already know we're in deep waters. Whether he's here or not doesn't change that.

[leaps]

He sounds like he'd be hard to miss.

[ seven feet tall r u srs ]

You have experience with computers?

[overthought]

Considering that no one's seen him tells me that he isn't here.

I do. [she was the perfect AI, awww yisss.] What do you need done?

[leaps]

You should talk to Nathan Petrelli. He runs the communications department, they're always looking for people who can handle computers.

video;

[unforgives]

I can't say I've seen anyone like that unfortunately.

You're said good with computers though? I think the Communications Department here seems to need people like that as far I know.

[overthought]

Emily! Hello again.

I'm starting to hear that's where I should go. I'm trying to keep my options open, considering the many vacancies on the ship.

video;

[unforgives]

[she just smiles at the greeting] A friend of mine used to work there so from what I know they definitely need people.

Keeping your options open is always a good thing though and you have a lot of choice when it comes to that at least.

Video -- Text

[toomuchtenacity]

[Video first because she waves back. She remembers helping the women a while back. Then to text because ...Chell.]

I haven't but if I do, I'll tell him you're looking for him.

permavoice.

[overthought]

I'd really appreciate it, thank you. Though, is it bad that I don't want him here?

permatext

[toomuchtenacity]

Because it's dangerous?
