[Wanders after Verviedi into the tunnels] I don't know why I'm even trying to help, it just seems an interesting activity.

Hello.... My name is lord voldemort. Il be your under hive guide today.

Going anywhere nice?

*Extremely confused*
But... You were just... Why Vold... And the big green thing... What is... I don't...
*Breaks*

[pats mrhappyface on the head]
Don't worry, you'll get used to all the weird stuff that happens around here if you stay around long enough.
[reclines on a chair with a magazine]

*Keeps eating and making a mess of things*

Well, it was worth coming along purely to see that happen.

*Melancholy*
I suppose... Is there anything left of the old terra? Somewhere I can perhaps have closure with the past and move on? (Maybe even start a new UKIP party for this new age...)

Well, go deep enough into the catacombs of Terra and you might find some relics of the past.

Umm *thinks* fragments, deep below. Sorry. Very little remains, the 38,000 years have not been often peaceful, nuclear war and worse..

The planet has neared exinction a few times, its not been a easy journey. Best I can think of is ruins of nova York, deep down, ainciant. Some say too old, and haunted by its past citizens.

Sorry, rough universe. There are a few gems of worlds such as ultramar though.

You know, as an original Terran, you'd be quite valuable, Nigel. A lot of scientists and priests would be very interested in you.

[Checks ammunition belt absent mindedly]

[continues sitting on a chair next to BC]
You know, I just realized that the Room moved to Terra. I was wondering how I managed to wind up next to you guys after you left for Terra.

I blame that fourth wall that Verviedi sometimes talks about. Though if a room didn't have a fourth wall, it'd be a garage. [Shrugs]

Well. I'll hold down the fort here I guess. Someone has to keep Verviedis experiments from getting out

*Walks out of the shadows*

Couldn't leave you all to go sightseeing without me now could I?

*Wraps arm around Yarricks arm and walks with him*

I may have gotten a few replacement parts from time to time, but I'm still mostly made of my Earth based parts. Though I suppose your underhives would be more focused in selling me as scrap, if they found out what I was.

*Sees 2BJ*

You look Human...But the way you speak seems familiar too me...Are you...An AI?

*Walks alongside 2BJ*

Yes, actually. A part of the Carter model line, and put under Weyland-Yutani to gather Yautja technology, and also gather any samples of xenomorphs. I have a small portion of combat experience, as I'm a technical expert, and not a front lines trooper. You would have to ask the colonial marines for more information regarding that, if you can ignore their loud behavio off duty.

Lets explore this under hive what are we looking for again?

Oh, I see. So if your a techie...You think you could fix my AI?

*Reaches into back of helmet and removes a chip*

It broke some time ago, and I haven't been able to find anybody to fix it, and considering that we're closer together in the timeline, you might be able to fix it...

*takes the chip and holds it up to the sun, examining it*

Hmm, no physical signs of damage. It might be internal corruption then. I will have to take a further look when we are not in the field. For now, I believe our friend needs help with his quest for this brick.

Ok, thank you...She was a good friend...

*Takes back the chip and reinserts it into helmet*

*Hands M6 to 2BJ*

You'll need it down here.

Brick
..
Agh, Lindisfarne.

Yes. Most interesting area. Dangerous mutant risk is average at the moment, high risk of giant rats, mutant squid or hive gangers at the gates near bridge 45j .


My name is lord Voldemort, you are?

Umm...Amelia...Don't mind me, I'm just here for the trip...

*Waves at Jhe before moving away*

*To Yarrick*

He creeps me out...

*sits down on a nearby rock*

*low hissing sound and snake calmly rests on shoulders totally relaxed*
Hello nagimi. No feed this lot. *snake nods*

*Sees snake*

Ew...

*Casually unholsters and cocks Shotgun*

*Aims it at ground in rough direction of Jhe*

Oh, snakes fine. I can talk to them you see. Heir of Slytherin, the gift is a family trait.

Snakes make good pets ya see. I've been keeping them for now, thousands of years. ......

*Raises shotgun a little*

I really don't care. Just...Stay away from me...

*Backs away*

*calmly takes rock and slowly reforms it as first a crystal then a green rose*

See, no need to want to shoot me. Oh fine. Look bridge at 37h is gone, go via 38v if you want to reach Lindisfarne,

The site is home to no one but a mutant cult live near. There not well armed but number high. The old ruins you seek are in the centre of a domed space peached upon a rock of old earth granite. It was once a island and water ran up to it, now dry but for tthe odd flood water that collects on deepest parts.

I am from m1, I know the deep lands unlike any other. I am the walker of the ruins of the dead.
*casts a disalusment charm and vanishes from sight and walks off. *

*leaves the green rose on the stone*

That was one creepy mutant. He called himself a Lord, too.
I wonder what he ruled back in the day...
[Looks at Vanden's shotgun and own pistol] I feel we may have come under prepared.

*Opens a door, and sweeps the room with a flashlight*
This is the maintenence room of an abandoned starscraper. If it's mostly intact, it's a 5-kilometer hike down many flights of stairs and possibly collapsed rooms.
If not... Well we'll have to grab grav-chutes and try to jump. I'm not confident in that, however. There are a lot of buildings here, we may just end up on a rooftop.
*Points towards a rusty stairwell*
There's the way down.
*Small skittering sound from many floors down*
