001 ∞ VIDEO

[The video opens with a bewildered looking youth in a grubby, orange jumpsuit holding the camera at arms length. When he speaks, the Irish accent quickly becomes apparent.]

Okay, first off I'd like to thank whoever conveniently decided to leave me with some form of communication, even if it is utterly useless for getting in touch with people I actually care about.

Second? A big fuck you to whoever's fault it is that I appear to be stuck here. I mean, come on! What the fuck!? Clearly I'm not dead, because hello? Immortal. So, what could possibly be going on here?

[At that he drops the confused look, rolling his eyes and looking annoyed instead.]

Oh, wait. Of course! It's something to do with the storm. Which is just a shocker, I know. It's not like that happens every week, or anything.

[A beat. Just waiting for that sarcasm to sink in, then...]

Ohhhhhh, no, sorry. It does. So, I know exactly what's going on here. It's someone's fucked up idea of a super power. Which means you're either a beautiful, barely legal girl, planning on doing something horrible to me, or...

[Nathan gasps, eyes widening with 'realisation'.]

You!

You're the probation worker. You sick bastard! I thought I could trust you. For once, I thought we had a probation worker we could trust. To guide us, to reform us, to refrain from trying to brutally murder us...

Instead you're pulling me into your sick, perverted fantasies, so you can have your filthy way with me.

[Throwing a dramatic arm over his face, Nathan lets out a loud, false sob.]

Be gentle with me. No one's ever taken me that way before.

If an offender, assuming that you're working off said offense via probation, correct? Thinking of the phrase in a different way.

When the City starts to act up. Strange things happen. People suddenly change genders. Other things. Unpredictable. Many things can happen. Not only what I've described.

One of the problems of English being a secondary-learned language.

Should be fine. Research said that the very chaotic curse day where everyone seemingly comes down with different effects happens irregularly. Happened this month. Shouldn't happen again soon. But yes. Change gender. Go from sexually active to having a definite chastity vow. City loves to throw unpredictability at us.

Not interested in "ladies" as you put it.

Huh. Expecting you to be very chaste come the next chaotic day of curses. Although question how you'll attract a mate at this point with that type of attitude on a normal basis.

Let me rephrase. Not interesting in relationships at all. Salarians have no concept of romantic or sexual love. Procreation is all that tends to matter.

Looks are one thing. Personality another. Looks may attract, but personality keeps them there.

Salarian. Not Salaria. As in my species.

Word gets around. Negative attention.

No. Using correct term. Would know considering trained in xenobiology for medical degree. Am Salarian, not human.

...and not everyone is looking to have that itch scratched. Especially with potential of disease. Want responsible partners.

Salarian? Similar to amphibians in concept, though still "humanoid". Shorter lifespan than humans. Good memory. Quick thinking capabilities.

Give it a couple of years. When instincts for definite companionship and need for spawn come around. Base desires change.

No. The Drell are closer to frogs. But still. Not human. Alien.

All the good mates are probably going to be gone by then. And possibly your chief attributes which you use to attract them with. Time isn't pretty to any species.

Not bullshit. We already exist. Your species will reach the galactic level soon.

No, have an understanding of human culture. May not understand it at times but still. Severely doubt best girls will be left by then. The most desirable mates are generally taken out of the population first.

No. Back home it is currently 2185 CE Earth Standard.

Forgetting that their former husbands may have changed their opinions in some way. That or they've sworn men off entirely.

Okay. Is currently 2011 here in the City. Am personally from the year 2185. Better?

Sorry. Am a doctor. See a lot of things.

Not everyone here in the City is from the same time. The same place. The City's calendars put it in 2011.

You're point? Don't see how it correlates with what we were talking about.
