retrospec | (no subject)

So here's the thing…

We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too.

How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here.

So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready.

Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

You know what they say When in Rome Slowly take over Greece

[That's not the phrase.]

I'm pretty used to the cold being from up North but I'll have to look into some heavy duty winter gear

IS that what they say
something tells me that's not what zee has in mind

if you don't already have good winter gear then you must not be from THAT far north

He wants the main control of Retrospec, yeah? THat's what your implying? And no, they don't say that. Something about doing what Romans do. ...Which means taking over Greece. Maybe I was on the mark after all I gave you gloves, asshole. I'm from Maine.

i don't know
i don't know what zee's doing with hiring someone else
it's not like he's saying much about it here
i just didn't think it was something he was able to even do within retrospec's company structure or whatever

and you gave me your sister's gloves
from when she visited HERE
that doesn't tell me much

Cousin, and they're actually from her visits to Maine. She's never visited since I came here...then again, I never really told her where I went after Portland. I'm used to Maine's nor'easters, but from the way you sound it'll be a big more hardcore than that

depends on how hardcore maine nor'easters are
all i've got to compare against is magatus and the cold part of siberia

So have you always been in Recolle then? Nowhere before that?

pfft are you kidding
i'm an army brat
i moved here 4 years ago, recolle is the 7th place i've lived
but none of them were as cold as magatus or siberia

Dang 7 times? Props to you..I've only moved once and I did the bare minimum and it was still hell

you get used to it
plus the more you move the easier it is
4 years here is the longest i've lived anywhere
hell my family probably would've already been deployed somewhere else if this whole city wasn't trapped from the outside world now
and even then 4 years is a long time by military standards

So it's Retrospec that keeps you here... I never even thought of that Not sure if you can call that a blessing or a curse

nah
i don't live with them anymore so even if they could and did get sent to another post i wouldn't know about it
that's still technically retrospec's fault but it's not like it's because of whatever's keeping everyone stuck here

Oh damn That's a relief Sad that I could see Retrospec actually doing that, though

what, keeping them stuck here?
that's like the tip of the iceberg for weird crap happening on post because of retrospec
you get used to it
like with everything else

I'm already starting to feel jaded The whole Zombie fiasco was my little intro
