[Wash appears on the screen, grudgingly out of armour, his face drawn and pinched around the mouth. He looks exhausted, eyes sunken and dark with exhaustion. Arriving here is just one more thing that seems specifically designed to fuck up his life.]

My name is Ag- [No, he's not Agent Washington anymore is he? He's not with the UNSC. He's not with project Freelancer. He's not anything.] My name is Washington.

They said that- [He can't believe he's saying this. His life is a fucking joke and his death will probably be the punchline. Until then, he is stuck dealing with this shit. Assuming he hasn't snapped altogether. That's also a possibility.]

They said that I have been sucked in through some kind of bullshit dimension hopping. [Yes, his teeth are gritted as he says it.] I'm looking for anyone who knows what the UNSC is.

[It's not that he wants to find anyone from home. There's no-one he cares for left alive and even then... well, he tries not to think about them too much. But he just needs someone to remind him that that wasn't all fictional.]

What? I mean, I've been in slipspace before. I don't feel too bad.

[Sorry Rey, he just looks dreadful generally.]

slipspace? like hyperspace?
the nausea wears off eventually
just maybe don't eat right away

Re: text;

[notyourrookie]

I suppose. A different type of space. Means you can travel faster than light.

I don't feel nauseous.

[ventifact]

sounds about right
that's strange. most people do
you look it

[notyourrookie]

Done it too much to get sick anymore.

...I'm just tired.

[ventifact]

probably a good thing
interstellar travel is pretty common here
found anyone you know that you can stay with?
if not you can probably find a place to rent

[notyourrookie]

I'm still pretty sure that this whole thing is a hallucination while I die in the snow back home.

[ventifact]

you should ask yourself if you're imaginative enough to come up with all of this
that's what i had to do

[notyourrookie]

I... I can imagine a lot of things.

[ventifact]

then i guess that doesn't help you

[notyourrookie]

Great skills of deduction you have there.

[ventifact]

real sarcastic for a guy who thinks he's dead aren't you

[notyourrookie]

I'd be really sarcastic if I thought I was alive too.

[ventifact]

so either way wouldn't be much of a change for you
that's nice at least

[notyourrookie]

Either I'm dead and this is one last hallucination about the world fucking me over,
or I'm alive and the world really is fucking me over.

[ventifact]

most people would rather be alive even if they were getting fucked over
are you saying you wouldn't?

[notyourrookie]

Depends on the day.

[ventifact]

that's deep
i hope you stop wallowing and find your unsc friends soon

[notyourrookie]

I never said they were my friends.

[ventifact]

then why ask about them?
most people don't want their enemies to know they're looking for them

[notyourrookie]

Not enemies either. Just a point of reference. Proof.

[ventifact]

good luck finding it
not everybody has people from their own world here

[notyourrookie]

Lucky them.
