video ↪ un: crowe (cw for mention of policework/real world current events)

the image opens on sam, obviously pretty comfortable with being on camera. zoom calls will do that to a guy, even the one who'd prefer by far to be an absolute luddite.

Whoever got to bring their Jaeger, text it, I'm mad jealous. Do you do ride-alongs?

the gundam. he's talking about the gundam.

of course, he wouldn't have wanted his car here — poor old blue isn't built for offroading, and it's not like this place has a gas station just around the bend.


I'm new. Trying to get the lay of the land. Was wondering if anyone's done a headcount yet? The better we're looking after each other, the less likely anyone will slip through the cracks. Somebody goes off and falls down a well, no Lassie to warn us, could be a bad time. This goes double for anyone who doesn't know how to use the comm devices.

I understand not everyone's going to be on board with announcing themselves or handing over their name — that's fine. I don't need anyone to tell their life story or even their real name, just basic identifiers so we have a rough idea of how many people should be here. You also don't have to tell me, but — if there's someone here you think you can trust, let them know if you're going out on your own. Call it a personal favor.

sam's spent years working with at-risk kids, he knows how to gentle himself. his tone is mild, his body language is open. not a threat.

Name's Sam. I'm from Earth, for the familiar, year 2021. I'm a detective with the Chicago PD, which I know isn't going to make me the most popular guy around — ACAB, trust me when I say I get it. I also served with the 75th Ranger Regiment, 2002-2009. I know a thing or two about a thing or two, but alien planets are a little out of my wheelhouse.

a bit of a crooked smile. magic and the like? werewolves? vampires? sure. all that, he can handle (which he wouldn't announce anyway) but the rest? yeah.

That said, if anyone needs a second pair of eyes on patrol or someone who can lift heavy shit and doesn't care if I bitch about old football injuries, I'm your man. Peace.

Good to know what I've got to look forward to.

[Or not, since dead and all, but he's not getting into that. Besides, maybe it's a blessing in disguise that he won't see the mess that is 2020.]

So, aside from being unfamiliar with alien planets, how are you adjusting?

It is pretty cool from the experience standpoint. The idea of anyone setting foot on an alien planet any time soon was a total fantasy at home, with the possible exception of getting to Mars.

Yeah, I hope so.
