entranceway | second galaxy [video]

[The post opens to reveal Shepard in full armor, and despite it seeming like her voice would be muffled she can be heard loud and clear. Her sniper rifle can be seen slung on her back, and despite looking like the device is stuck on her arm, she's crammed behind overturned tables as cover and shooting a very fancy pistol offscreen. Finally, she ducks down, and addresses the network directly.]

This is Commander Shepard! If anyone needs help getting somewhere safe, I'll come get you. For people running safehouses, let me know how much space you have and the fastest way to get to you. I'll try to keep everyone updated on what hallways are blocked.

[She ducks her head back over her makeshift cover, shoots a charged shot, and knocks the gun against her knee to pop out a heat sink before shoving a new one in the base. She seems to forget the network is there, for a second.]

Yeah, come get me, you stumblin' assholes! You're jack shit compared to what I shot last month!

[She then readdresses the network, outside of her trash-talking.]

I'll be moving as much as I can until this is over. Again, if you need help, or have a safe space, let me know. Nobody's getting left behind, not if I can help it.

[Well hell, that's someone who's not going down without a fight.]

diner on the 8th floor's geared up to be a safehouse
get yourself a mask if you can this stuff spreads if you breathe it in
unless that helmet does filter stuff already

[It looks all...filter-y. He has no idea, he's not a future-tech expert.]

The suit's built for space, so it's got it's own air filtration system.
Should keep everything out unless it get shattered. They shouldn't get close enough for that.
Thanks for the safehouse info.

[It's also got talk-to-text, which is nice, because jeez she has no time to type.]

fifth floor bar is already sealed off. i've just been hoofing it
these things also seem to like loud noises maybe keep the gunfire to a minimum

[Unless she's far away from him when she fires.]

Good to know there's people there though.
Also good to have places not to go crashing through.
And I'll try to shoot quietly. Not exactly in a hurry to go hand-to-hand with these things.

hand-to-hand doesn't need reloading

Also puts you at risk for having the shit kicked out of you.
And assuming these things bite, also puts you in range of that.
Hope you've got some good armor.

i have a jacket and a gas mask
mansions not exactly giving us handouts at this point
but i also havea fucking laser gun so

Better than nothing.
And see, everyone gives up hand-to-hand in favor of a laser gun.
It's practically science.

except this one's fucking loud
i fire it once i get every monster in ten miles on my ass

That's the trade-off for laser guns.
They kill faster, though. If you've already got a hoard they're more useful than trying to punch them all.
You might want to look into a silencer in the future, though.

silly me not asking the raccoon dressed as santa for a silencer

[He's...actually being one hundred percent serious on this one.]

[It takes a little bit for this response to get back.]

dude what the fuck
I mean
Seriously?

it was christmas
things were weird

Is that what passes for Christmas around here?
Goddamn.
Then again if this is what passes for an 'event' then you're probably not lying.

the raccoon wasn't part of the event i'm pretty sure
he's still around somewhere
might have some weapons if your interested but idk

I have plenty of guns for the time being, but thanks.
It's a good thing to know there's a ton of heavily armed people around here.
As long as they all know how to shoot and no one's killing themselves.

honestly i'm sure its all fair game
20 bucks says half the people here are gonna end up blowing there brains out by the events end

I hope not.
Senseless death isn't exactly helpful in any situation.
If we're lucky most people will find someplace to wait it out where it's safe.

you know we get like five deaths here right
not exactly senseless

[Says the man who's already down TWO.]

That doesn't make dying fun or profitable.
Any death that isn't necessary is senseless.
You shouldn't just throw it around like a get out of jail free card.

[Shepard knows a lot about death! Specifically, suffocating to death in the void of space. This is Not A Fun Way To Die.]

well no yeah obviously
it still fucking sucks
but i'm just saying it's not the end all be all

Still sounds like you're not being very careful with it.
But hey, I'm not your mom.
Professional advice, though, don't get your head blown off.

i'll try my best.

Fantastic.
Take care, kid. I got things to shoot.
By the sound of it you do too.

who doesn't
watch yourself

Same to you.
See you later.
