video
[ There's a perplexed looking young man in view of the screen. Anyone familiar with Locus will probably recognize him, but something's definitely different. That tell-tale x-shaped scar? Gone. His hair is shorter, hanging just below his jaw. Moreover, his eyes don't quite hold that thousand-yard-stare to them just yet.
He looks, well. Teenaged.
He's also holding Luna up to view. She's purring heavily, but he appears bewildered by her presence, if anything. ]
Does anyone know whose cat this is? I just...found her here when I woke up.

[ He squints at her, but lets her settle on his shoulder, which is apparently the correct thing to do from the way she immediately sprawls there. ]
No collar, no tags. She must belong to someone.
video
[He's just a little bit jealous. An affectionate little animal would do a lot to dispel the creepiness of a big, empty house.
Playing it cool, though. He's not about to broadcast himself getting all rattled.]
So, uh. Do you know where we are?
video
[ A curious wrinkle appears in his brow. ]
What does it look like where you're at?
video
[Just saying it is enough, and he stands from the bed, feed shaking as he makes his way to that unfamiliar closet. The sneakers in there look like they'll fit, and he thinks he saw a backpack.]
Which might be connected? Whoever lives here has some serious armor and a whole wardrobe of guns.
video
Does it look anything like this?
[ And into view swings the Locus armor, standing at the ready. Empty and silent. ]
video
It's . . . a lot more similar than I'd like, honestly. Here.
[A quick tumble of shakycam into an empty hall and another room, and there's a set of armor against the wall, purple darted with bright green.]
video
Do you think it's some kind of test for new recruits?
[ Is he part of the test? This is all a little weird. And where does the cat fit into any of this? ]
video -> audio
[Okay, switching to audio - both for hands-free and because he knows the universal truth that digital transmissions are Forever, and he doesn't want whoever this is to be able to find footage of him checking the safety on a few of the smaller firearms and jamming them plus the applicable ammunition in the front pocket of the bag.
If this is a test, it's probably what he's supposed to do. If it's not a test, it's definitely what he's supposed to do.]
I don't suppose you've seen a girl who looks kind of like me, by any chance?
video still
[ Off-screen, Luna gives a little squeak. ]
no subject
[The other guy sounds like he's doing all right, and Gabriel doesn't know if he could help even if he wanted to. Who knows where they actually are in relationship to each other. But he's not going to just leave another castaway drifting like that.]
no subject
I'm Sam.
no subject
[And he's off and away. Hopefully there's something nonperishable in the kitchen he can grab.]
Video
He's a far cry from the grin-over-wariness of the last call, flushed with excitement and slightly scuffed. There are also trees in the background. Treetops, specifically.]
Sam? Tell me you're getting the same story I'm getting.
Video
[ Because that's what he's managed to gather so far. He's only just in the outer hallways of the station, wandering at a slow clip, but he's no longer in the facade of the base. ]
Someone named York told me. Or, Taylor. I think he prefers that one.
Video
[He's not sure about the dimensional angle, but for him the real meat of the story is that entire 'superheroes' bit.]
Did you try flying yet?
Video
[ It still feels...weird. Very weird. A lot of this does, but he's just taking it a step at a time. ]
Video
Did you solve the mystery of the kitten, yet?
video
That explains why she didn't want to leave me alone. That, or the food.
video
[He grins, because even if this is crazy, it's absolutely the kind of crazy he can roll with. And there's something reassuring in this particular back and forth, even if Sam's incredulity is a lot less spiny than what he's used to.]
Hey, do you want to grab something to eat?
video
[ Sam almost smirks. That is until his own stomach gives a rumble. Traitor. ]
It doesn't sound like a terrible idea.
video
[He hitches his backpack up onto his shoulders, not sure what their options are in the way of food but sure it's better than a few energy bars.]
Have you seen any sign of a cafeteria? Anything like that?
video
[ Which they won't find by just standing around, that's for certain. ]
