[ The video feed is a wall of white noise to begin with, a low hissing starts coming through as the audio starts up before the video. A raspy, rough and accented voice makes the audio connection whine when it yells louder than the device can record, ]

AAAGH-! Son of bitch.

[ Whoever was on the other end was absolutely furious with his device ( Read more... )

Shepard, I realize that it's some sort of human holiday this month, so...

[Beat. This is kind of awkward for some reason.]
