Ow. [A moan of pain follows the voice, as the video screen continues to show nothing but the broken pavement of the road beneath it. There’s a rustling noise close enough it’s most likely right on top of the PCD, and the sound of someone moving around, and gym shoes on the ground. Then, a moment of silence.]You don’t just make something that big ( Read more... )

Ah. Are you alright?

I guess it's another influx.

You may find this of use.

Well that's... enlightening. Always knew I hated the scientist types. Good to know I've got a concrete reason now.

I'm fine. Minor flesh wound, that's all.

It can be a little daunting at first.

As long as you handle it. This place isn't forgiving. I can't help but notice the uniform... military?

Yeah, a long time ago. Retired now. Needed some time off, had a nice pond waiting for me.

[That, and he didn't agree with his entire planet joing a confederacy of hostile aliens, but who listens to Jack? He's certainly not going to mention it now.]

Ah. Well, I hope your retirement hasn't been too terribly interrupted by this?

Not really. Can't seem to stay retired. I keep trying it, and- well, things just keep coming up. I should be used to it by now. Then again, third time's supposed to be the charm, isn't it?

What about you?

[Sounds dire. Excuse his chuckle.]

Ah, Me. Colonel Roy Mustang, with the Amestrian army back at home.

[The laugh earns an amused sound from Jack.]

Don't think I've heard of it. I'm Jack O'Neill, former colonel in the United States Air Force. It's nice to meet you, Colonel.

[Perhaps that's a little connection. Of course, he's going to take it easy for now. It's a lot to take in when you first get here...]

No, that's not unusual for this place.

United States? Air force? Well...

[Still, he's chuckling again. It's been a while since he's met a colonel here.]

At least there'll be no ranking issues, hmn?

Oh, don't worry. My military days are supposed to be over. One of my old teammates is here, but other than that, I wouldn't dream of messing up anything you've got going. Just think of me- as just another guy.

[Although, if the need arises, he'll ignore it ignore it ignore it help. Doing the right thing is just too ingrained for him not to.]

Soooo. Going to make a leap of faith and guess- You don't have an Air Force in, what was it, Amestrian?

Things are pretty up and down here, anyway. There's no organisation, no hierarchy. Sometimes I wonder why I keep trying.

[Whoops, he's rambling a little. Someone else has to 'do the right thing' Hey, they might just get along.]

Ah, Amestris. The country, the people, Amestrians.

What, do you fly or something?

Re: Audio no_pesky_fish January 20 2011, 22:27:12 UTC
How many military types are there? Anyone under your command?

[Why no, he shouldn't care, but he can't stop himself from asking anyway. It almost sounds like this guy could use a little help.]

Got it in one. Although, my last command was a little different. [Yes, Jack. Just a little different.]

Audio general_mustang January 20 2011, 22:29:23 UTC
Ah, right now three. Although, command is a rather redundant word.

[He could use the help, actually. If only to make this place worth living in.]

Wait, you're serious?

As death. [Bad pun, Jack. Bad pun. Not that Roy'll get it, but, hey! His voice does sound a little amused though.]

So that's four, counting you, five or six if you count Teal'c and I. I'm guessing that's fairly small compared to most of the people brought here?

You'll have to explain to me some time. Flying.

[The reverie is broken, though. Back to business!]

Ah. Well, you say that but there are so many people from different... worlds here it would be difficult to know exactly. In comparison though, I think you're right - we'll always be a minority, but then the military usually is, right?

Re: Audio no_pesky_fish January 20 2011, 23:15:29 UTC
That we are. [That just means that it's all the more important that they work together, a fact that isn't lost on him.]

I'll talk to Teal'c, but if you need any help...
