entranceway | eighth galaxy [video]

[The camera opens on Shepard standing against a display wall, with a bunch of chatter going on behind her. There's some text displayed, but it's too big to be seen through the limited scope of the video. She smiles, and mock salutes with two fingers.]

Gotta say, out of all the things Wonderland could've drawn from for me, this is probably the best end of the deal. So hey everybody, welcome to the Citadel. Yes, you're in space. No, you don't need a suit unless you wanna go outside, and I wouldn't recommend it.

[She swaps the video feed for a few moments to outside her surroundings, showing a crowded view of the Silversun Strip, and then back to her face.]

The Citadel's the hub of galactic government in my universe. Lots to do, lots to see. You've probably all got omni-tools, but they're pretty basic to learn. In general, try to stay away from any places that look seedy, and if it's illegal where you come from, it's probably illegal here. Otherwise, go wild. If you need directions, the holographic terminals are VI information guides. Ask 'em whatever. Or, y'know, you've got the extranet in the palm of your hands, so you can just search it yourself.

[She looks like she's gonna stop, and then grins a little bit wider.]

Oh, and one more thing...

[She steps away from the wall to show she's standing in front of a display sign. A very particular display sign.]

I re-maxed my high score at the Armax combat arena. I'll buy anyone who can beat me without cheating a free meal. Good luck.

[She winks, and cuts the feed.]

I've got some good hand-eye coordination. And I guess if it's possible anywhere, it'll be here.

[That weird intersection where all their simultaneous sciences and magics work. Why not that?]

Honestly, that's probably the plan of it all. Make you think it could always be worse, so you stop fighting.

I've seen too much of my magic here working beautiful. I have faith the magic in Wonderland is compatible. I think that's a start.

[He's not sure how, and Newt hasn't enough of a mind to really think it through, but he's willing to use it if he can.]

I've no plans to give up, and I'm glad to see most seem to be acting the same.

Good luck, then. Let me know what you find.

[She is genuinely curious.]

Anything else you wanna ask about this place?

Thank you so much. I will definitely let you know.

I think that's about everything until I experience it all.

Then go enjoy yourself. Good luck finding all you wanna find.
