have another shepard

[wonthegalaxy]

Are you sure you wanna bring me back before you're finished with the third game? You're not even that far in it.

... But, well, if you missed me that much I got no objections. I'm all for stretching my legs out again.

Just please tell me you're going to lay off the store jokes. Or the Wrex jokes. ... Or the jellyfish jokes.

[ A personal holographic display? Well, he has one for the HEV but it's not quite so cool. And... he gestures to it. Can he touch it? ]

[wonthegalaxy]

[She nods.]

Go ahead.

[It's not like he's a child, but she has it set to the camera function just so there's no accidents made towards anything important.]

[anticitizenone]

[ He pokes around, obviously knowing most of what he's doing. ]

[wonthegalaxy]

[Good, so he didn't steal that suit off anybody. She grins.]

There's a repair module on it, too.

[anticitizenone]

[ Gordon looks for it. Got to be a knob or switch, right? ]

[wonthegalaxy]

[Not exactly. Shepard helps him up by switching to it herself with the tap of a few fingers and the wave of a hand.]

There's nothing to repair right now, obviously, but you can take a look if you want. You've never seen one of these?

[anticitizenone]

[ Gordon shakes his head, eyes wide with wonder. Like a kid in a Lego store, really. ]

[wonthegalaxy]

Wow, you really haven't.

Where are you from?

[anticitizenone]

[ Earth? But how to get that across... he fishes around in his suit for a notepad, and quickly draws the best rendering he can make of the solar system, and then the Space Needle. ]

[wonthegalaxy]

[Shep blinks. Now she's pretty sure the guy is mute. Or brain-damaged but that's GLaDOS's field of expertise.]

So you're from Seattle? [She smiles.] Seattle's a good place. I was born to Alliance parents--lived most of my childhood on starships. I didn't see a whole lot of Earth til I grew up.

[anticitizenone]

[ Somehow, he's not surprised by the space comment. He nods. Seattle's good. He misses it. ]
