133 // He returns! [Voice]

[major_west]

[We interrupt your screaming and indignant rage with a very polished English voice.]

Hello?

My name is Major Henry West, formerly of the M602 Blockade, presently... [He pauses.] at an unknown location, and I have not been exposed to Infection. [LOL NOT TRUE.] I repeat: I am Major Henry West, and I have not been exposed to Infection.

[Another pause.]

The rescue-- if I may assume this is indeed a rescue-- is appreciated, but I'm afraid I'm at something of a loss with regards to the details of it. Where are we, and how secure are these premises? How many survivors are there?

[OOC: People on Level 3 may have heard him screaming in horror and agony as he appeared, as West has just returned from his death at the hands of Mailer. He's been listening in on the network a little and has popped his head out his door once, but doesn't really know WTF is going on. But, to those of you who haven't heard him scream like a little girl, he's going to act like he's totally fine and hasn't just experienced the death of all his boys.]

This is the Barge. It's been your home for the last two years and some months. Those people that are talking to you are your friends.

[She bites her lip.]

My name is Morgan Adams. I've been charged with looking after your affairs since your first arrival here.

I'm afraid that's quite impossible.

My "affairs"?

[Slow breath through her nose and turns on the private settings.]

Yes, your affairs. Your protection, your guidance, and all other matters pertaining to you on this ship are handled by me.

If you want further proof, I can rattle off any number of intimate details you'd like me to give.

[He scoffs.]

Ah, so I suppose you're... what. My guardian angel, as it were? [SAAARCASM.]

Look at it however you like.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Very well. As I look at it, it would appear you're all deluded.

It doesn't surprise me that you'd see it that way. But as it is, Henry -- I'm in need of a doctor and a bath, and I think you could use some rest.

My cabin is on level one, room five. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything.

You'll have to excuse me, Morgan, if I don't explore the premises just yet.

[gimmethemap]

That's fine. You can contact me using the comm link, and I can come to you.

Of course.
