006- Accidental Broadcast [video]

[renegadedriving]

[Today's broadcast is brought to you by Shepard's D-Terminal... But she's not on the screen. Nor is Monodramon. Instead, it's shaky footage taken from eye level, and it very rapidly becomes apparent that it's battle footage. From Shepard's helmet.]

[Of the first 7 and a half minutes of this. (Spoilers for the end of Mass Effect 2! Those who don't want to watch all 7 minutes can get the gist from the first thirty seconds and a quick glance at 6:10.)]

[Why? Well. Shepard figured out how to transfer files from her helmet's eyepiece to her D-Terminal, and determined that clip dangerously classified and disturbing enough to flat up delete, rather than risk anyone stumbling upon it.]

[And Monodramon has just broadcast it to the entire network by mistake.]

[This is the worst way to meet new people since the sex ed post.]

I am, although my digimon might not be.

[Yeah, he saw that one too, but no comment. Human sex is weird.]

Uh, yeah. I can believe it. What was that thing anyway?

[renegadedriving]

A reaper. They're part synthetic, part organic, all genocidal. They took out an entire galatic civilization 50,000 years ago and they're here for mine now.

[neverputincharge]

Whoa, not a good species then.

Wait, whattaya mean, them things are actually here in this...world?

[Video]

[renegadedriving]

[. . . WHOOPS, she misspoke.]

Not... Here-here. Home-here.

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

Oh, uh..that's good then.

So, guess that was you takin' down the last of them? Or just one?

[Video]

[renegadedriving]

The only one we know where is at the moment. The armada hasn't arrived yet.

[She sighs.]

We'd be so much less screwed if the council occasionally listened.

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

One less ta deal with then.

[He tilts his head.]

Yeah, I know whatcha mean about difficult counsil's that don't listen.

[Video]

[renegadedriving]

You guys got one too?

[Nobody deserves that diplomatic nightmare. Her sympathies are evident.]

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

Uh, more like had. Before the war. We had a caste system back on Cybertron, and at the top of it was the Council.

They usually didn't listen ta us in the lower castes

[Video]

[renegadedriving]

[. . .]

Well, shit, that actually sounds worse than ours. You got rid of them?

[neverputincharge]

They were killed by Decepticons durin' the war.
