mission 001- video/text

[The feeds snaps on to show a rather grizzled man with a beard and eyepatch patting a rather friendly dog Pokémon. A Poochyena to be precise. Boss grunted in amusement when the dog started to chew on his metallic arm. A toy? Well, the Pokémon thought the metal was rather interesting compared to his other normal limb.]

Hngh. A dog? Didn't think I'd end up having another one trailing after me.

[Boss picked up the empty Poke ball from his back pack and studied it. How could such a large animal fit in such a small device? It was all rather confusing right now. Also, what was that music playing? It sounded like a tape but no music he'd ever heard on his iDroid before.]

Hey! Watch the arm. [Snake scalded the energetic Pokémon when he bit down on one of Snake's prosthetic fingers. He was only a puppy but still. He needed those fingers.]

Going to call you DD. You're just like him. Good dog. [Snake patted Poochyena's head and made the dog sit. Good. At least he was learning. It wasn't the first time he'd had a dog follow him and try to lick his face. Snake focused back to the video feed and sighed.]

Anyone hear me? Can someone tell me what's going on and why these animals seem to fit inside tiny balls? [Yeah. He's going to go with that first of all.]

[ There's nothing here to see except a blonde girl's face, staring openly at the broadcast. She thought she was just viewing this message but had hit reply by mistake. Holding the 'Gear is still something to get used to; they don't exactly make accessible versions...

As for that she's staring at. It was either the dog or the arm; hard to say, but Yang wasn't saying anything herself. Yet. ]

[ Being caught staring was worse than that question, if only because Yang knew a stranger who couldn't see her from the neck down would have no reason to ask otherwise. ] W-whu?

Uh. Sorry. I just — I didn't think this was on. [ She'd facepalm, if she could. ]

[ Yang shook her head. ] No, that's not it. It's been— [ Four months? Six months? ] I've been here a few months. This was just more clumsiness.

It's different from our Scrolls, too, for sure.

[ She blinked. Oddly enough, introductions don't usually happen so fast around here. People get so caught up in what they're doing, where they are, things like that. It's new. ] I'm Yang. And... welcome to the pet simulator, I guess.

[ Not the warmest welcome, but she's trying. ]

In balloons or you mean ... airlifting? [ hopefully he meant airlifting because, otherwise? yikes. ]

I don't really get it, but it sounds kinda dangerous. You do this kind of work all over? [ her eyes are drawn to one specific corner of the screen again. that incredibly detailed prosthetic. ] Is that how you lost it...?

Soldiers... [ Yang's jaw is tense. she's curious but at the same time — she gets it. ] Sorry. I knew it was a dumb thing to ask. After all—


[ here she pulls the 'Gear back and that's where Snake can get a good view of the bandaged stump where her right arm ought to peek out past the sleeve of her shirt. it's no a fresh wound; this is the kind of bandage that's meant to prep and mold the area to eventually receive a prosthetic. ]
