First Stripe; Audio

[sandpaperbreath]

[The voice is just above a whisper, raspy and familiar to some. The tone is unimpressed. Could be entirely possible he was put up to using ShipNet at all. That’s right-he doesn’t like your comms, Redd.]

I’m looking for information. ‘Bout this ship, the crew, yourselves.

…Name’s Torn.

[And he’s very wary aboot this whole social network thing.

Torn! You're back!

[She's at her cheerful-est, which is pretty damn cheerful. Lika loev Torn ♥]

[sandpaperbreath]

Back?

[He is beyond unimpressed.

Who are you and why does he like your voice?]

[yousoundblue]

Yes! Back! It's probably a recording from a different mind-state that doesn't remember me, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends again!

[Jak, please explain to Torn that Lika is a loon, but harmless.]

[sandpaperbreath]

...

Was that even English?

Look. Lady. I'm new here. If yer gonna start spewing jargen do me a favor and explain it before you go on a frikkin' tangent an' leave me behind.

[Hee hee. Silly Torn and his primitive shithole culture! 8D]

Mind-state recording! A complete record of the state of your brain at a moment in time. Like a snapshot of your psyche! You write it over a blank clone brain to bring someone back if they've died accidentally or been so badly injured a new body makes more sense than healing the old one. Which shouldn't happen but sometimes it does, especially here.

[This does not seem to strike her as even slightly creepy. She's just so...bubbly about it.]
