let’s see what humanity is capable of handling

Yeah, two. They were extremely upsetting, but we're still here so I guess they weren't so bad within the grand scheme of things? Which is kind of frightening to think about. Well... I wouldn't have the slightest idea, really. You'd expect that they would, but I guess we really can't assume when it comes to ancient otherworldly beings.

Last outing? You’ll have to refresh me — I’m guessing I was either in cryosleep, or someone managed to forget me? I refuse to believe the engineers can be as bad as everyone says. I mean… they’re our creators.

I was sent after one of the synthetics and then almost caught an oncoming storm so I don't know the specifics, but there was an explosion and another death as well as a handful of other injuries. I'd say that was enough for at least a month. As for the Engineers, well... I don't know. I really don't. 

Someone tell me why we’re not outside. Or when we’re going outside. Or if they can take me outside? Please.

I think that some of us are still trying to get back on our feet after our last outing.

Apollo - yes, he’s just fine. His leg needed some work, but he’s perfectly alright. My boys are tough.

Yeah, he did a pretty good job of hanging in mid-air while whatever life synthetics have flashed before his eyes.

It’s fine, I don’t think the paperwork will mind if I take a break. So, are you planning to go to the karaoke thing?

Until it develops a mind of its own, probably not.

Slowly, but it’s going. Routine maintenance on the Talons takes priority for the most part.

The one that I managed to save, the fourth one-- is he... it still in one piece?

I managed to track down a cup. 

Fantastic then. How's all that research going? It's been pretty quiet which is a blessing considering everything that's gone on.

Yeah, yeah, the good doctor fixed me up, so I'm good now. Did you ever snag that coffee or is that still a work in progress?

Should I make something up to distract you some more? I can do that.

You are remarkably sarcastic and I haven’t had my coffee yet.

You caught me at a bad time. Pain equals an unhappy me, which I'm sure is pretty understandable. I'm normally like ten times friendlier and, as just a side note, you're probably going to need to have consumed a bit of caffeine before talking to me at all.

Yeah, I figured. Not everyone can go unscathed after one of those, I guess. Thanks a bunch, doc. I really do appreciate it.

So Sterling got his claws into you. That irradiated bastard. He gave you the all-clear, though?

Wait, was he going around doing this to people? Oh, yeah, he did. I figured I was alright but you never really do until you've got the okay from one of the scientists, right?

Paperwork? I feel like I might actually be doing you a favor by being a distraction. After the decontamination. I felt perfectly fine before.
