[...Delta carefully observes Church's other conversations before popping up. This sure doesn't sound like the Director. In fact, he sounds an awful lot more like Epsilon. Still, the proof is, as they say, in the pudding. Perhaps he'll recognize Delta.]

Hello.

[kickbancaboose]

[ oh holy shit he was wondering where you were ]

-- Hey, Delta.

[alaspooryork]

[Right where he's supposed to be, really. In a slot in the back of York's head.

It answers the question about whether or not this soldier knew him, of course, and now he's beginning to have a pretty good idea of who, exactly, this is.]

Welcome to Sacrosanct. Is there anything you wish me to clarify for you?

[kickbancaboose]

Yeah. Where's that hulking piece of psycho shit? [ HE IS REFERRING, OF COURSE, TO MAINE. ] 'Cause I dealt with it the first time, man, but I'm not doing it again.

[alaspooryork]

[Give him a moment--oh, you mean Maine? Jumping into bed with York, of course.]

Do you refer to the Meta? She is here, but presently unaccounted-for. [Slight emphasis on "she".]

[kickbancaboose]

Go figure, that -- [ wait ] She?

[alaspooryork]

She. As you may have observed, several of us are from different timelines or versions of reality. I presume you have spoken with Private Tucker?

[From the way Tucker complained that everyone from "Sex Island" thought she was male, well.]

[kickbancaboose]

That's Tucker? What the fuck is wrong with this place?

[alaspooryork]

[He sounds amused. Oh, Church, just in from a place where everyone's forced human and forced to copulate to survive, and you think this place is weird?]

It appears to be related to the dimensional rift. Aside from York, I have yet to encounter anyone from the same timeline as myself. I apologize in advance if this causes any confusion.

[kickbancaboose]

[ HEY, AT LEAST TUCKER DIDN'T HAVE TITS THERE. Sob. ]

What do you remember, anyway? Before this shithole?

hologram; basic encryption

[alaspooryork]

[Very true, man. Very true.

There's also a hesitation while Delta slaps some encryption on this. He doesn't want Epsilon peeking in.]

I detected an error in my own programming; upon infiltrating Freelancer Command to procure a clean copy of my base code, we found Epsilon. He had not been deleted as Command had reported, merely placed in recovery mode. We liberated him and returned to a safehouse, using his clean code to repair my own and my code to repair the damage done to him during self-termination. We had not yet completed the process when we were drawn to Sacrosanct.

[ wat ]

So, wait -- were you guys dealing with the Meta then, or no? [ DID YORK NOT BITE IT ]

[alaspooryork]

No. York and I did not encounter the Meta until our arrival here. [I HAVE SOME DISTURBING VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THE META KILLING TEX, YOU WANNA SEE IT?]
