Thebe could probably come up with something. A variety of somethings. But you're right, he's kind of a bored variety of asshole.
[ let dahut off the string as a tweat. ]
Mm, well, two consolations. One, that's all we know about all of you, since those and your contracts were all we got in your dockets. Two, that's all any of the rest of the passengers know about you unless you tell them.
They can be. They've got a playful sense of humor. [ big contrast to callisto and europa. ] Mm... no, I don't think we'd like what we found in there. Better to leave it where it is.
[ they don't want to and i'm, personally, afraid of the idea. ]
It is pretty invasive. We didn't get much choice in ours, either, but with the promotions we could update them a little before it was redacted for "professionalism."
Pandora's box, or something like that. Although, I think that box was open a long time ago. [ he just doesn't have the means to do what makes him tick. maybe. ]
You've redacted half of everything from what it looked like. "STR: worst"?
there's a pause, and then the faint glow of the inside of their helmet is joined by what looks like a data interface. it's also on the inside, but there's a curious blip and a silence before they answer. when they do, the data interface fades out. ] Oh, I see. That feels pretty apt.
[ sometimes you just need to look up what a phrase means. ]
Redacted by Nut & Bolt. But at least I'm charming, Mr. 10 Charisma. [ muted playfulness. ] I'm faster to make up for it.
You never know. Sometimes we have to network with the locals.
[ also maybe cyoa you don't know ]
Nut & Bolt did when we got promoted. They redacted a lot of information about us to maintain "professionalism" for training. [ they don't physically airquote but the energy is there. ] Same concept as the helmets.
. [ they tap a finger on the bar counter, and a glass with amber liquid, ice, and an orange peel materializes from the auto-bartender. ] Named after some planet's moons, apparently. Suppose it's more mysterious than "fixer," though, really, it wouldn't surprise me if that flew over some heads.
I can look at the dockets again to see where there's overlaps, because each Earth has its own code in our system, but I think there's only a few that match up. Shoma and Mizuki, for example.
[ holds up a sign that says play library of ruina. i'll play roland one day, but he shares a few too many similarities to shu for me to do so too soon. maybe in a two week.... my tired man, my roland. ]
Same Earth, huh? [ interesting. ] Yuri mentioned she knows Rodya and Gregor, so they must all be from the same place too.
[ i was about to be like where is this going but i understand now. bring him to us someday we want him. "who is we" the royal we of mg. ]
Mm, there's a decent number from the same world even if it's not the same Earth. Mistral and Anguis, for example, or Turner and Bain, if I remember right.
[ adrastea sets their drink down so they can pull up their I.R.I.S., going to get the admin side of the profiles. they can't edit anything, but they can See. ]
For a manner of "luck," anyways. [ they tap away, until they get the right information they want. ] The three from "The City." Two each from Arpéchéle, Auldrant, Solistia. I was right that Turner and Bain are from the same world, as well. Only one instance of more than one person from the same Earth, and that's Shoma and Mizuki. The rest of you are from different iterations.

They're the joker, then? [ interesting. ] Everyone's got something that interests them. I'm not sure we want to find out what makes him tick though.
[ imagine. ]
True. There's still more than I'd usually talk about this early on [ or ever ] on there.

Yeah.

I never claimed to be charismatic.

I don't actually remember what my numbers are, I haven't seen them in something like a month.

[ DELEGATE. ]

I'm not sure how promotion equals loss of identity, but maybe that's just me.
no subject
[ they make a contemplative noise. ]
No, it's one of their more stupid protocols overall. But I've had to assume identities before for my past work - becoming Adrastea is far simpler.

I might tell you before you all leave, who knows. We wouldn't be training you then.
You can call me whatever you like in the meantime.

It's literally a job title. It's already confused at least one person for something they already knew, though.

I'm sure more than one person is going to think you're a repairman. [ said with all the (albeit muted) emphasis of bless their hearts. ]
no subject
[ he is. ]
Like, one from her world.
no subject
Not many of you from the same world, as it turns out. Even those of you from Earth I think are different flavors of it.
no subject
Even if a lot of things overlap? That's... specific, but kinda weird.

If it's luck of the draw, the draw really liked doubling up. Or tripling up.
