DELACROIX to VOID: 03-02-???? re: Anniversaries

[Marie Delacroix has been a denizen of this city for all of four and a half days. She has not yet wrapped her mind around this 'curse' nonsense, but when she later looks back upon her rather distinct lack of clothing and sudden desire to preen in front of a camera, she will be furiously indignant. For now, she just carries on using the camera as an impromptu mirror, watching herself in the feed as she puts on a wine colored lipstick.]

Zhe Von Braun launched on February 3rd in zhe company of the UNN Rickenbacker. Less zhan 'alf a year later, all of it's crew ees dead except for zhose who 'ave been taken over by zhe annelid parasite and one volunteer soldier 'o has been fitted with an illegal cybernetic rig at SHODAN's bidding.

Zhe ship was not ready for interstellar travel, zhe coolant tubes began to leak within a month. I was surprised that zhe entire structure did not shake apart as soon as zhe FTL was engaged. Eet was not a moment's rest keeping zhat hunk of junk in running order, and no one appreciated 'ow much work I put into eet, I deserve so much more appreciation zhan zhat.

[She toys with her hair quietly for a moment. Truly, this is the first time in a long time she has had a moment to herself. She may complain, but this is bizarrely relaxing.]

But at least zhe Von Braun was of modern fit. Eef I wanted to experience life from zhe beginning of zhe 21st Century, I would 'ave gone to a museum.

[What a shitty vacation destination... Sigh. She seems to be done for a moment, but then she remembers something, giving the camera a hard look.]

Who do I talk to about 'aving my pistol returned to me? Eet is of issue and I demand to 'ave it back.

[Bitch please. Marie purses her lips.]

And why were you altered?

[He doesn't like it either, especially not recently, but he'll keep hold of his humanity as long as he can.]

It was an experiment. To produce stronger warriors.

[That wasn't its real goal, but he doesn't know that.]

[Sephiroth has her curiosity piqued, but also a deep and bitter sense of wariness.]

'ow different are your world's medical facilities, from zhis place?

[The city was their common ground for comparison.]

The science strikes me as less advanced, where that's concerned. [Although the benefits of such advances are limited to the few elite back home. The general availability is the greatest difference and advantage of this place that he's noted. It's hard to compare the technologies in general, as in some ways, his world and this place are equal, but in others, his world is far advanced.]

I'm currently working in a chemistry lab here. Biology and chemistry appear to be different on a basic level, as my home has substances this world lacks, so I cannot make a direct comparison.

[This woman is insufferably curious, and already her mind is churning.]

What 'ave you been working on?

I've only recently arrived, so my work is just beginning. [He seems content enough to shift from military work to chemistry, but he is all his parents' son.] I'm familiarizing myself with the chemistry of this world, which does require relearning some fundamentals.

I am currently trying to recreate certain useful substances here.

You 'ave some experience in material replication?

I have more theoretical than applied knowledge, as I did not pursue a career in the sciences, in spite of my interest and background in them.

I am conversant with the strategies of chemical synthesis, yes.

When can I see eet?

[Yes, she is a bossy bossy woman, sir.]

[He's not used to the people he knows being interested in science, except for the one person he least wants to discuss science with.]

I can bring you by the lab, if you'd like, and if you'd be interested in working there, the company is hiring.

As I said, I haven't lived here long, but so far, they've been agreeable employers. [Even bearing in mind that it's ShinRa he's comparing them to.]

Yes, zhat is what I would like.

[Zhat ees what she ees demanding.]

When can we make zhis appointment?

[Sephiroth considers her state of dress and finally, his own shirtlessness.

It seems indicative of something...]

Not today, but my schedule is flexible. At your convenience.

[Something... what could that something be...]

Very well, zhis thing 'as recorded you as a contact, you will hear from me.
