[ the video turns on to reveal -- white. That's it: just a white background, without a hint of any kind of Siren's Port scenery. Weird. A few moments pass with nothing happening, but then, a form begins to phase into existence. It's staticky at first, almost like a broken TV, but soon the shape settles, and an adult, silver-haired man appears, wearing a peculiar kind of metal bodysuit and curled into the fetal position on his side in the middle of this whiteness. And almost as soon as his form is settled there, his head suddenly jerks up, staring blankly off to the side in thinly-veiled confusion.
He actually just goes on staring like that for almost a whole minute, not moving an inch, expression slowly settling to one of uneasy determination. Before long, he gets to his feet with a somewhat stiff movement, his eyes alone contemplatively gazing around the white space surrounding him. ]
... hmm. And this means... what?
[ a pause. ]
Run a full system check. I want to know everything.
[ there's a kind of click, and then a mechanical-sounding whoosh noise. Is he talking to himself or what? It seems he's as of yet unaware that he's away from home or even that anyone can see him; he's closed his eyes. ]
