mission 1: [video/action]

[cardboard_boss]

[The feed snaps on to show the image of Venom Snake, not Big Boss, the other one. The shrapnel "horn" protruding out of his skull. That's the only way to tell him from the other Boss.]

Anyone know if I can get a cigar made up for me? An e-cigar. It's kind of a healthier option and is electronic. This place has a science department and I'm wondering if some brain box could make one for me. The damn portal stole my cigar.

[Because he's really desperate for his e-cigar right now. So much going on right now. So many Snakes and so much to take in. Besides, the Ingress stole his cigar. He could find a replacement for his missing cardboard box but this....it would take a little more effort.]

Have you contacted Miles Vorkosigan?

[cardboard_boss]

Who? [Because that's going to mean no.]

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

Ahh, he's the personnel officer and has lot feelings when it comes to smoking.

[cardboard_boss]

Maybe I should have a chat with him. [Maybe this guy could point him in the right direction.]

Is he your buddy?

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

Definitely.I highly recommend it. [Unfortunately, that most likely won't be the case. She just wants to annoy Miles.]

You could say that we're buddies, yes. "Intimate"-kind if you know what I mean.

[cardboard_boss]

Right. So, you're lovers? [Yeah, he had to ask that.]

Your boyfriend has smokes? Do you know if he smokes cigars? [Because these are really important questions to Snake.]

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

Soulmates.

He actually might, he's so full of surprises. But I'm sure he'll be able to help you out.

[cardboard_boss]

[Soul mates? Right ok.]

Thanks. I'm Ahab. Nice to meet you, miss?...

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

[Ahab. So this is the guy Kara meant. J can see why she scored him 7.]

Miss Austen. But you can call me J, dear. And don't mention it, I'm always happy to help and I'm sure that Mr. Miles will be too.

[cardboard_boss]

[Venom has no idea that he's even been talking about in that way. Kara, you.]

J. [Snake offered her a polite smile.] You lived aboard this ship long?

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

[Oh, you know how girls gossip.]

A little bit over 2 months. But you must be new, right?

[cardboard_boss]

Yeah, I'm new. Been here for around a couple of days now.

[Still getting used to everything.]

What do you make of all this? The whole travelling story?

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

You mean that they are trying to take us home somehow? [She raises a brow.]

I don't really know what to think about it. I mean, we are going somewhere, yes, but I don't think anyone knows specifics about where that is. Plus, how are they even going to send us back home? As every Ingress we've encountered has been malfunctioning. So who knows.

[cardboard_boss]

That's what I've heard. [It was all very vague but Venom had heard that the ship was heading to some sort of destination.]

I don't know much about it since I'm still trying to find my feet.
