[The voice function clicks on in a way that suggests that the button for doing so has been pushed with unnecessary force. That is to say: it is audible.]

Okay, look. I don't even care where I am or why, but you better explain what the heck is going on here, or I swear I'll go on a rampage the likes of which you have never seen

You are gone from your home, I'm afraid.

[audio]

[autodidacticone]

Oh, gee do you think so? I hadn't noticed.

[audio]

[powerofgod]

The intimation is that your 'kidnapping' is somewhat more complete than you might otherwise assume.

[audio]

[autodidacticone]

No, hey, wait.

[crap crap, how long does a pause have to be to be 'awkward'? Does he think Kimmi's awkward, is he another hostage ARGH PRESSURE!]

Ah...Who are you?

[lilyground]

Kusanagi?

[OMG?]

Are you related to the Major?

[autodidacticone]

uh...

[Oh crap children what do i say aaahhhhh]

maybe?

[lilyground]

[Woah.]

Are you a cyborg, too?

[autodidacticone]

Yes.

[wait...]

There's...a cyborg onboard? Aside from me.

[meinxxherz]

[Also Ping.]

Hello, uhm--

I--I'm sorry, miss, but I--I-I--I'm pretty sure...

[...wait, let's start again.]

My--My name's Herz. I'm a--a passenger, like you. We're all--we--we've all arrived the same, just showing up in--i-in our rooms.

I, uhm--I-I work on, uh--on deck's nine and ten. In a restaurant called Sergei's? It's--it's voluntary, y'know--they let us use the kitchens.

I could...tell you about the--the boat over these things or, uhm, y-you're--y-you're welcome to come down and--and I could make you something to eat while I, uh, I explain.

[Audio]

[autodidacticone]

Uhm...Riiiiight. Herz.

[Damn, this guy is tedious to listen to.]

Actually, maybe you can help me. Do you know where I can find 'Major Kusanagi'?

[Audio]

[meinxxherz]

[Yeeahhh. Sorry about that.]

Uh, well, I--I don't know her room number, uhm...

If...i-if she's still around, she'll find you. That's...kinda what she--she does.

[Audio]

[autodidacticone]

Great. Just...great.

[Kimmi's already on the bandwagon of 'fuck the boat']

Where's this place, again?

[electroniccrane]

I'm Major Kusanagi.

[No-bullshit delivery, slight Japanese accent.]

[autodidacticone]

Good. Finally.

[Classic American-Teenage impatience? Shocking.]

Look, I don't know what's going on here, but you can just go back to Kaito and tell him that it's still kidnapping if they're related to you.

[electroniccrane]

I am not related to you.

[She's about as sure of that as she can be, on account of the multiple-worlds thing, and also "Kusanagi" being an alias.]

...matching icons, lol

[autodidacticone]

...Really.

[She just. Stares at the communicator for several long seconds. Does this woman think she's insane or just stupid? On the other hand, the whole 'kidnapped to another dimension' circumstance must be taken into account...]

Great. That's just great.
