Room 3

[testingphase]

[The room, once you've entered it, has a number of ear buds laid out on a table.]

Now, pop those ear buds in and we'll begin the test! Failure to comply will result in desyncing and forcing your team to pay for a replacement body.

Jane Shepard.

[thatboyisamonster]

I seem to recall that your team sees you as a leader. Is it because of your qualifications?

[cloak_and_sniper]

I didn't know they saw me that way. But I'm a navy Commander, yes.

Loki's an interesting name. Familiar, but I can't put my finger on why.

[thatboyisamonster]

It has . . . a long history attached to it.

Navy?

[cloak_and_sniper]

How long are we talking?

Space. Earth's military.

[thatboyisamonster]

Eons.

Curious. Why would Earth need an army in space?

[cloak_and_sniper]

... Interesting. Named after a religious or mythological being?

We're not the only species with space travel. And when there are disagreements, well... it's best to be safe.

[thatboyisamonster]

The mythical being, in fact.

But there must be more. Threats have this way of cropping up.

[cloak_and_sniper]

Hm... Know anyone here, by any chance?

How do you mean?

[in_the_blood]

Hey Jane. You by any chance from the same place as any of your teammates?

[cloak_and_sniper]

No, we're all from different times as far as I know.

[in_the_blood]

Excellent. That makes things much easier then. Pretty sure that narrows mine down to only two people in this room.

Feel free to ask me anything you want, though. I live in 21st century America, Earth, if that helps at all.

[cloak_and_sniper]

It doesn't, but this will. Are you from the same place as anyone on your team?

[in_the_blood]

Nope. Thank god.

But Darcy, Loki and Thor-- who isn't here-- are from the same place. And River and the Doctor-- who also isn't here-- are from the same place too. So hopefully that helps some.

[cloak_and_sniper]

[smiles and nods]

It does, thank you.

[backwardscompatible]

Can you tell me a bit about your background?

[cloak_and_sniper]

Anything in particular?

[backwardscompatible]

Did you have a happy childhood?

[cloak_and_sniper]

I did until I was sixteen. Batarians attacked my home-planet, killed my parents. Was rescued by the Alliance navy.

[backwardscompatible]

I'm sorry.

[cloak_and_sniper]

[smiles]

It's fine. I've been far too busy to really... think about it much.

Do you know anyone here?

[backwardscompatible]

You mean from before we were all dropped in here together? Yes, the Doctor.

[prideofabh]

[listening in]

Who are Batarians?

[cloak_and_sniper]

Humanoid, four eyes. Didn't like that we'd started colonizing worlds they considered theirs.

[prideofabh]

Aliens, then?
