[ Jack takes a shaky breath as he turns on the MID. He can do this, this gadget he's hooked up to is almost like a radio. It's just sort of stuck to his hand for the foreseeable future. Which is still a step up from jamming a needle in his arm on the regular to boost his EVE. ]

...hard to believe I'm in outer space, it's not the sort of thing you expect to hear outside of books. [ He pauses to laugh under his breath. It's a ragged sort of sound, with a faint edge of exhaustion to it. ] Then again, so do underwater cities.

Hopefully this place'll be nicer than Rapture. [ Though that sudden shift in lighting and the new strict people in charge have him a bit unsettled. ]

Anyways... I was wondering. Has anyone here heard of an Irish fella by the name of Atlas? He was helping me before I ended up here. I don't feel right leaving him in the wind.

...from stuff I listened to? Sea slugs. [ Turn those sirens off, Andyr. He's not going to mention the child exploitation so soon. ]

I can't remember too well, I was half asleep. I think someone hijacked the plane, I woke up when it crashed into the water.

Sea slugs. [ uh. Okay, that’s fucking weird. Not KN at least? Probably? Weird. ]

So someone put you there on purpose? Who?

[orplasmic]

I don't know, probably some crazy bastard looking not to die alone. It was probably a fluke.

[ He's not going to question good fortune. ]

And the sea slugs are called ADAM. They rewrite your code and do stuff like...

[ He fumbles with the camera for a moment and turns it on so Andyr can get a look at it hand. It's crackling with electricity though it doesn't seem to be hurting him in any way. ]

Like that.

Real damn specific fluke.

[ in all the ocean you could've been dropped, right over the elevator down to the hell city? no way.

tilting his head at the screen on his end, though it can't be seen through voice, Andyr's trying to think of anything that would allow for something like that in his world. the KN gene can do a lot of things, but randomly generate electricity? ]

Freaking weird. So it gives you super powers? Just electricity?

voice;

[orplasmic]

Not just electricity.

[ His hand cycles through the different plasmids he can access. His hand catches flame and the skin blackens and casts a haze of heat around it. Then his hand simply shimmers with invisible force as he pulls up telekinesis. There's a disgusting orb that glows with blue light that he can use to hypnotize a Big Daddy. And most disturbingly is the moment when bees start to crawl out of his hand like he's a hive. ]

I guess they can do just about anything provided you got the right one. But I can only use five at a time without a gene bank machine.

Oh, that’s--

[ fucking nasty, as is clear in how Andyr scrunches his face up and turns away from the screen for a second. Bees coming out of your skin? Really dude? Andyr can handle a whole lot of fucked up shit, but that’s just gross. ]

How about you never do that one again. And a gene bank’s what?
