Network: 001
[The feed clicks on to a still slightly damp Cipher Nine, though he's obviously found himself some shelter. Where ever it is he's hunkered down to wait out the storm, the windows can be heard rattling however, and the storm itself can still be heard. The man himself looks a bit peeved.]
Greetings, fellow inmates. This is Cipher Nine, from Imperial Intelligence- though from what I've gathered, this means nothing to most of you.
Still, you may all call me Agent or Nine.
[He huffs.] I've already gone through much of the network and I've got the information the Agrii so generously decided download directly into my fucking brain through data point, as though my brain hasn't been through enough already.
[He sighs, looking about 20 years older than he actually is. He looks tired.] So I won't go I want to go home, I'm upset or I'm not a hero, why am I here or even I'm upset with the Agrii for kidnapping me or cause a scene or what the hell ever.
[Did he put on a squeaky voice for that? Yes he did.] Instead, I'll ask what you all are keeping yourselves amused with during this storm.

[Just one of those habits that never went away.]
Greenhouse is a no thanks from me though. [Tending to plants has never been his thing. And he'd much rather observe most of the people moving about the place for now than actively participate.
In anything other than food prep, since he considers that important.
Of course, he doesn't say that.]

[Some of that slight snark again.] I have my datapad with me, so assuming we can find some similar ingredients, I've got recipes from home and all.

[Humans at least can be weird about that kind of thing, in his experience.]

[Ha, ha, funny joke, he knows.]

[He's not really sure. Still, it is true that he's a different man now than when he first met Vector. Maybe he just feels like he needs to prove that this version of him is worth getting to know as much as the man he used to be.
That this version of him might be better, kinder.
Or maybe he isn't better or kinder at all. He truly can't really tell.] I don't really know either, to be honest.
But I am willing to put in the work to be your friend again.
video;
[He can see a sadness there, but it has to be about more than just a friend being from a time before they met. Could he really have been so terrible that Vector would not like him?]
video;
[It's said with a slight smile, so it seems to have been mostly a joke.]
video;
[There's the hint of a smile on him too, just a little quirk of his lips.]
video;
Of course, seeing it is sad too, but he's trying to focus on the positive rather than the negative.]
Good to know. I'm... Looking forward to get to know you all over again.
video;
[He can't help but wonder just how close they are in Aden's time. He's also curious as to how soon they meet from when Vector was last in their world. Is it soon? He hopes it's soon.]
video;
[He might not. Vector doesn't know him, after all, and might not want to meet up with some strange Chiss.
Still. He has to ask.]

I'm a new arrival, too. Calvin Rankin. [ He shifts back and blows out a long breath, then nods. ]
As for the storm, I've been recovering from nearly dying, so, mostly resting.
video;
[It's obvious that he's being sarcastic, a quip aimed at the Agrii. It seems rather cruel to take a nearly dying man without at least patching him up first.
Still, always stash useful information away for later. There's a lesson that's bound to stick in his mind even if he should forget everything else.] A pleasure to make your acquaintance, mister Rankin.
You know, despite everything.
Video;
[ Calvin is lacking in humor on that point, but he grins at the end. ]
Yeah, I get it. Not exactly a resort destination.
But so far, I haven't died, or starved, or been shot at here, so... I am calling it a tentative win.
video;
[More of that slight snark. He is serious though. He's hovered sort of in that area between dead and alive himself a few times.
It's not fun.]
Definitely not. I've seen bombed out war zones in... Well, at least slightly better condition. Until the next orbital strike, at least.
[He offers a slight smile and there might even have been a huff of laughter there.] Not being shot at, starved, or killed. Always a plus, that.
Re: video;
[ Calvin nods, shrugging. He's a little weird okay? ]
Agreed, and people seem friendly, and one saved my life, so... yes.
video;
[He arches an eyebrow because some elaboration is required.]
Friendly indeed. Guess yours truly is the odd one out.
... Can't be fun though, owing someone for saving your life right off the bat. Unless they don't seem like the kind of person who'd consider it a debt to be paid.
Re: video;
[ He nods as he listens, grinning a little. ]
If one lives among people soon one lives a life of owed and being owed many debts, many times over. Or else, one is an idiot. Some of those are taken care of by life, some by chance.
video;
[His life is never so easy, though. He's made peace with the fact that his death won't be a fun one. Definitely not looking forward to it, and he prefers living with... Minimal amounts of pain and definitely no torture.]
Hm. Poetic. Think of that one all by yourself?
