⇝ 001; video then text

[madrush]

[There's one thing about the MIDs that Tommy can't stand and that's how they're strapped to his hand. Nobody, nobody, can take a good video unless they can extend their hands all the way out and bend them up at angles that aren't natural. Otherwise, the screens too close and tilted wrong. He tries to send a video first, and it's a messy shot of his face before he gives up and sends a text.]

A couple things. Would someone tell me why anyone thought being on a space ship is a good idea? There's nowhere to run.

[Which is the most important thing, obviously.]

Second, I'm looking for some recruits to form a team. Not just anybody. Anyone that's different and wants to stand up to the bad guys. If you're interested, let me know. Thanks.

[Oh yeah.]

I'll be in the cargo bay if you want to meet in person. White hair, ask for Speed.

You're a pyro? Hell yeah we have room. But I've gotta couple questions first.

If you're fighting to protect people, and the odds look bad, do you keep fighting or give up?

[that_cost]

I'm too stubborn to give up and would do what I could to give the people I'm protecting a chance.

[madrush]

[An A+ answer.]

That's good, because there's no room on this team for quitters. Just serious people who wanna do what's right.

Soo.. what's your ability like? Are we talking, lighting a smoke or blowing the ship up?

[that_cost]

That depends on what I need fire for. Something big? I can do that. Someone needs a cigarette lit? No problem there, either.

[madrush]

That's amazing.

We should get to know each other. How old are you? You from around here?

[that_cost]

16. No. Port City, Pennsylvania. I was on my way to Washington State before I came to the ship.

[madrush]

I'm 17 and I've been through Pennsylvania. And Washington. Were you moving?

[that_cost]

We'll go with yes, there. It's a lot more complicated than just moving, but sure.

[madrush]

Or we could go with the truth. If you're feeling like sharing.
