Unit 1 - Video

[The video clicks on, showing a black haired man with a very mild look of bewilderment on his face.  Not as much as one might expect from a total newbie, but by this point he's a tad used to waking up in strange places. Thanks Dad. Though really, this doesn't look like what he expected the afterlife to be. He really doesn't feel dead though so he's guessing he's alive.]

Oh so that button is the same...[Oh. Right. Broadcasting. He clears his throat]

I suppose I should go out on a limb and assume that this was not where I was supposed to end up. For one thing, I've been to most of the planets that like to emulate Lost Jerusalem and this does not look at all familiar.   Would someone be kind enough to tell me what is going on here?  Or at least where this place is? I have to admit I am a little lost.

It's better than nothing, though. And at least I'm not busy all the time.

Still, I bet the novelty of working with ancient technology wore off in the first day, hmm?

[want-a-vacation.livejournal.com]

Pretty much. It was interesting at first, since I'd never seen most of it in person before, but it's, well...all I can think of to call it is basic.

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

Maybe you should consider making some improvements in your off time?

[want-a-vacation.livejournal.com]

Actually, I've already been working on seeing what I can put together with what's available here.

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

Really now. What have you been able to do so far?

[want-a-vacation.livejournal.com]

Not much. I've been trying to re-create some of the weapons from back home, just in case something like those zombies happens again, but I can't find anything that would power them and still be light enough to carry.

I suppose that would be a problem. The material's we're used to are probably very far off, or don't even occur in this star system. And even the ones that are close to them are probably fairly expensive.

[Allen, he is putting thought into this. If he gets rich here he is funding you.]

[want-a-vacation.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and I'm not exactly earning a Vector employee's salary here.

*He would appreciate it. Poor guy's not used to having to worry about money in his projects.*

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

Hah, that's right, you're a not the chief here either are you.

[want-a-vacation.livejournal.com]

Nope, just a regular employee. It's a little odd, to be honest. I'm not used to having so many people above me.

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

I'm sure your position will improve. You're too valuable to be kept down in the lower ranks for too long.

[want-a-vacation.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm doing my best, so hopefully I'll get somewhere better soon.

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

You will. So just go with it a little while longer.

[want-a-vacation.livejournal.com]

Ah, good luck to you, too. Though I'm sure you won't have much trouble, either.

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. I'll leave you to your work then.

[want-a-vacation.livejournal.com]

*Nod.*

Just let me know when you want me to show you that store.

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

I will. Most likely with in the next day or so if that's alright. [He's got enough on his plate with dealing with reuniting with his brothers to even think about arming himself.]
