Eliza? Eliza, do you copy?

[The video flickers on a few seconds after the sound. A tall man stands on the dock, and there are a few noticeably odd things about him: most evident are his arms, which even from a distance are obviously not flesh and blood. From his fingertips up to where his shoulders disappear beneath body-armor-styled pads, skin is ( Read more... )

Sorry, man. Pretty sure they're out of signal range. [Does he think it's weird that the man is talking to himself? No. His cyborg friends do it all the time. Is he pretty sure this dude is a cyborg too? Very yes.] And yeah, Hades kept up with technology. You sure you're alive?

[That was quick. Not really what he was expecting, either.]

According to my biometric readings, no. [And the fact that he remembers dying, or coming close to it. No need to add that, though.] It's a nice touch to detail, like Charon, but not convincing. Who're you?

Cole Cash. And don't worry. The ferryman doesn't need to be convincing. The place does a good job of that on it's own. Who're you?

...Jensen. Adam Jensen.

So you're telling me I've died and gone to the Greek Underworld? [Skepticism? Maybe.]

[See this? This is a panda. This is really, truly a panda.

In awe.

...whoa.

Okay

Obviously he's looking at animatronics.

Really, really good animatronics.]

[There is no Dreamworks park, good sir.

He's all shiny and...shiny! Like Geth...Legion...but still with, like, a human head. How does that work? What is even going on?]

...oh. Uh! Hi!

You're...uh. You're in the Underworld.

[...Okay, it's a gimmick. Basic AI, welcomes the new guests, haha everyone gets a kick out of it.

Except not.

...Still. Information is information.

He crosses his arms.]

So I've heard. [He can't believe he's doing this.] Are we really supposed to take that literally?

You'd be surprised how many immortals keep up with the times.

More like I'd be surprised if there were immortals, period.

[She shrugs.] Is it really that shocking of an idea?

[Question for a question] You think it's not?

It's real enough - so were the zombies, er...'Infected'. [Said with a wry smile.]

Elena Fisher, journalist - do you need any help finding your way around?

So I heard. [Pause.] From the talking panda.

Adam Jensen. [There's still some grumpiness in his tone, but it's lost the hard edge for the most part.] I'd like directions to the nearest exit, but I'm getting the impression that it's not so simple.

Oh. [Grin.] You've met Po then.

And yeah, you're right. I'm afraid there's no easy way out Mr. Jensen - but that doesn't mean we're not looking for one of the less easy ones.

...Yeah. What is he, the mascot or something?

Well, that's a little more encouraging. But if that's still a work in progress, they must have some pretty tight security measures.

So I keep hearing. Harder to believe when half the population is supposedly dead. [what the hell are these biometric readings he's getting everywhere]

[...That... has to be the most forward inquisition pertaining to his augs that he's ever received.] Adam Jensen.

...Workplace accident a few months ago. [Which isn't a lie. It happened in the workplace, and it was an accident.]

As crazy as it sounds, that seems to be the truth around here. At least in appearances.

[A pause. And then there's a hesitant quality to his tone -- not exactly a duh sound, but wtf even kids know this kind of thing these days.] ...Augmentations. Biosynthetic prosthetics.

Never seen them in person before? ["in person," "through communications" -- whatever. Close enough.]
