001- Backup Requested (audio)

[renegadedriving]

[The voice that comes through the line belongs to an adult woman, and she sounds entirely serious.]

This is Commander Shepard hailing SSV Normandy.

[Pause.]

Come in, Normandy.

[Pause.]

Goddammit, Joker, where the hell are you?

[Pause.]

Wait. Where did--

[In the background, there is faint shouting.]

Shit, Monodramon, what did you do?!

[The feed clicks off.]

[What did Monodramon do indeed.

A good distance away from where Shephard had stopped, Hiccup had been making his way with Gomamon lounging on his back, with his front flippers flopped over either shoulder. He hadn't known what else to do really, since after leaving the Terminal a lot of people had dispersed rather quickly. That left Hiccup quite alone- ...save for Gomamon, of course.

And so far, Gomamon wasn't turning out to be a huge wealth of knowledge. Sure he had the same idea that all the other Digimon did, and told Hiccup the same things, but he seemed more interested in telling the viking all about himself than giving him much more information. Hiccup didn't mind it too much, but it would be nice to have a little idea of what to do next.

So then he got the idea, maybe he could catch up with the crowd? If he could find someone else to talk to, maybe then he'd be able to get things a bit straighter and have a plan to work off of. So, with Gomamon still chatting away Hiccup suddenly picks up the pace to a run.

Gomamon is not at all hanging on though and isn't ready for the sudden jarring movement, and with a shocked "Woah, woah, WOAH!!" Gomamon goes tumbling right off Hiccup's back onto his own back on the pavement with a dull thump, stuck like a turtle with his flippers in the air.

And before Hiccup even had the chance to turn back around, there was another outcry and an even louder thud. Oh no.]

[So Monodramon really likes his partner, but he's pretty sure she can handle fiddling with her gadgets by herself. He's going to set off and find where they're going next, and then she'll be super impressed! He fully intends to prove that she's got the best digimon around by the end of the day.]

[There is, however, some value in a digimon who watches where they're going, and Monodramon learns as he abruptly trips over something or someone small and furry. He makes a distinctly unmasculine noise as he falls on his face, and kicks at whatever it was that he just tripped over as he hurries to right himself.]

[Oh. It's a digimon.]

Get outta my way!

[Action]

[trainsurdragons]

OUCH!

[Gomamon yowls when Monodramon suddenly kicks him, adding insult to injury while he flails his flippers a bit, still unable to quite right himself for the moment. With a hiss he finally catches one of his fins against the pavement and manages to pull himself over, huffing loudly as he does.]

Why don't YOU watch where you're goin' ya big oaf!?

[Hiccup can see the Digimon bickering even from where he is, so with a gasp he turns and quickly backtracks, hoping that Gomamon will keep his mouth shut until he can get there.]

[chemistryinmotion]

Having trouble there, Commander?

[Audio]

[renegadedriving]

[. . . That is not a voice she recognizes.]

Who is this?

[Audio]

[chemistryinmotion]

Kid Flash, at your service, ma'am.

[He's used to working with the military after all. And you can practically hear the smirk in his voice.]

[betrayalcutsdeep]

*Commander? So he's not the only high ranking military official here...interesting coincidence. And hopefully not a problematic one.*

These devices don't seem to be capable of connecting to the networks we're familiar with.

[Audio]

[renegadedriving]

[Well, at least this voice sounds like it belongs to an adult.]

It seems like it only communicates with local devices. Who am I speaking to?

[Audio]

[betrayalcutsdeep]

Commander Jin Uzuki. I hope you don't mind if I don't freely offer my affiliation, I was regrettably in the middle of a war back home.

[audio]

[genreawareness]

[well that is ominous]

What did he do?

[audio]

[renegadedriving]

[Shepard sounds very grumpy at this point.]

Picked a fight. A particularly stupid one.

[audio]

[genreawareness]

Picking fights is rarely ever smart.

[changelingdude]

You need a joker? I know lots of good jokes!

I don't think that's what she meant...

What do you call a dancing sheep?

Beastboy...

A baa-lerina!

[renegadedriving]

[. . .]

[. . .]

[. . .]

Joker is a friend's nickname.

[SHE IS NOT IN THE MOOD FOR THIS.]

[changelingdude]

Oh eh heh, my bad. Boy am I sheepish now.

[...]

That would be funnier if I could turn into a sheep.

I'm not sure that's true.

[Oh look puppybunny face. Neku can be seen listening to his headphones in the background, not caring at all that his partner is abusing his D-T]

Hey, hey lady are you Monodramon's Partner? Tell him Terriermon said he can suck Digieggs!

[renegadedriving]

[. . . Oh it's cute. Or, it was until it started talking.]

Do you... know him?

[video]

[liberatio]

Having some trouble?

[video]

[renegadedriving]

You could say that.

[video]

[lastnerv]

[Commander? And isn't Normandy some WWII thing? The perks of having a military otaku friend.]

Are you in the Navy, miss?

[video]

[renegadedriving]

[Shepard nods.]

I am. Do you need help?

[video]

[digilight]

[There'd a giggle.]

He seems to be lively!

[video]

[renegadedriving]

[Oh, this girl is really little.]

Misbehaved, but very lively.

[She pauses slightly.]

Are you alright?

[martianimalism]

So are you in the arm--- Wait, how are you related to the Joker? [SUSPICION RISING.]

[renegadedriving]

['The' Joker? Has he really gotten that well known?]

He's the pilot of the Normandy, we work together.
