[ hay hay errybody. look who decided to show up!! iowa's looking pretty... well, normal for having been eaten by the teleporters; still in his armor and everything. from the looks of the area around him, he's somewhere near the garden zone. ]

...Um. I'm kinda getting tired of the weird shit that these fucking things like to do... [ sounds normal

Dude, you were just gone.

[lockbreak]

So, I didn't die? [ lol oops there goes his voice again. ] Cos if that's the case, then that makes this situation a whole lot easier to deal with!

[scorpiowned]

Um, I don't think so... (man this voice thing would be weird if he didn't know it was a messed up filter.) Where did you go?

[lockbreak]

I like, went into the teleporter near our place and I was headed out towards the garden zone to like, shoot some shit! And... I guess I got stuck in there somewhere!! I don't understand, really.

[whatvr_it_takes]

I could take a look at it. [Not her specialty, perhaps, but what was armor if you didn't know how to repair it?]

VIDEO

[lockbreak]

Um, I dunno! I guess the teleporter fucked it up!

But yeah! I'd appreciate it if you did, York!

[howkickassiam]

Huh. Well, lemme know where you are, okay? I'll meet you there.

[lockbreak]

Oh, sure! I'm in the Garden Zone! [ ping location here! ]

[cousinisdeeeead]

Frank? What the fuck happened?

[lockbreak]

Hey babe! I guess I got stuck! Maybe it's a sign I need to go on a diet...

[cousinisdeeeead]

Nah, you're fine, baby. Thought you disappeared on us.

[lockbreak]

I wouldn't do that! Not like... on purpose... [ bzzzt there goes the filter again. ] ...or anything! ...damnit.

[gammapulsed]

...We c- Dying's not.

[Rewind and let Bruce's mind try to process this because HOW DID THIS GET LEFT OUT OF THE INITIAL RUNDOWNS OF STATION LIFE.]

If we die. We just come back? Like. ...Like some kind of video game?

VIDEO

[lockbreak]

Um, yeah actually! Pretty messed up, huh? I freaked the hell out when it happened to me... just uh. If you ever bite it here? Don't go looking for your own body, okay?

voice;

[gammapulsed]

The dead bodies don't just. Dissolve or. Well, I don't know how they'd be handled, but. It would still be there? [It probably says a great deal about Bruce that his first thought after hearing "don't go looking for your own body" is "but it'd be great to have a full scope of samples to work off of!". Thankfully he has enough sense not to go and... You know. Say that out loud.] Sorry, it's just that no one mentioned this before now. Aha.

VIDEO

[lockbreak]

...Uh. Yeah. They're totally still there. So, yeah.

[ bzzt. ] --damnit, this fucking thing... Anyway, it's all good! I don't mind explaining!
