[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 can I say, I didn't end up in the military because of my stellar language skills.

I just need to confirm a few things with people from my world. That's all.

you gotta improve on that then
or the thesaurus gonna come and eat you

so you are looking for friends.

I do know what a thesaurus is.

No. They're not friends. Coworkers at best.

oh damn, i thought i snuck that one past you

are they nice coworkers, or bad ones?

I'm not an idiot.

They aren't exactly good people.

didn't say you were
don't take it personally

then why look for them if they're not good people?

Maybe I need to punch them in the face.

Maybe I just want some confirmation that this bullshit is real and not a hallucination.

good luck with that, then.

how would meeting someone you already know confirm something as reality? you're just as likely to hallucinate someone you know as you would some random person.
