Not so Hostile After All
[Video]
--Oh! Oh is THAT how it works! It has an actual "on" button... That's kind of cute.
[The voice is light, female, accented in a way that can only be described as "Ukraine by way of Mars," and sounds as though it's run through some kind of filter... Though the last part makes perfect sense when one looks at the face--or rather, mask--accompanying it. Said mask peers into the camera curiously, two eyes JUST barely visible though the refractive glass.]
Those... scientists at the Lab told me that I should call the others and introduce myself. My name is Tali... aaand I don't know much more than that.
If you're wondering about the suit, it seems I can't take it off. The environment here is "hostile" for me... though I don't remember all the details of what they told me, exactly. That was a lot of information to take in when you're running a high fever. It's not as though it's uncomfortable I guess; in fact it feels like I've always worn it.
[She lets out a small breath, respirator lighting up.] I'm rambling. They've given me room 408 of Ermis Suites... wherever that is. I'm sure I'll be getting to know a few of you very soon.
[Action]
[The top floor of Ermis Suites has rooms mostly uninhabited... with one of the empty ones now being paced about on the inside by the same blue-swathed girl as before. The strange articulation of her legs and two fingers to each tailored suit glove make it obvious that she isn't human, though other characteristics affirm that whatever she is, she's definitely female. The door is open, and she looks a little... overwhelmed.]
All this space, for just one person...?

[The camera shows an upshot as she cranes her neck to look around.]
I haven't gone far but I went shoreward. "Prince Street" is what the sign reads.

[And she is there when he goes to meet her, easy to spot swathed in blue fabric as she is. She seems to be eyeing the storefronts, gazing at the shoes, clothing, jewelry and home wares with half-comprehending curiosity. On the other hand, some of the locals seem to be eyeing her with just plain bafflement.]

Hi! Tali, right? Hope you weren't waiting long.
[Action forever]
Not that long. You're John, right?
Re: [Action forever]
The suites are actually not too far from here. Follow me.

[And she does, leaving a trail of staring natives behind her. They see a lot of things on the streets but Sirocco, but there's something about a full-body isolation suit specifically that makes people nervous.]
no subject
See that street there? The best pizza joint in town is down at the other end.
[As the get closer though, he starts getting curious himself.]
So, do you have any idea what's up with your outfit?
[/so direct.]
no subject
I'm sure the pizza is great, but it wouldn't agree with me. I'm deathly allergic to any kind of organic material here. Something about having the wrong proteins... This is an isolation suit to make sure I don't get sick.
no subject
[He feels kind of bad about bringing it up now.]
Did you remember that? Or did the scientists tell you?
no subject
[Apparently it's lab protocol to see what everyone looks like under their masks and suits... Or at least, that's what that idiot scientist doing the paperwork told her. She spent two days in iso in the medical wards after that, and around the second night she started to wonder if he was really just following protocol or not...]
--anyway, it's no big deal. For now I've got food packs with me that work for me, and it's not as though the suit is uncomfortable... well, for the most part.
no subject
But I guess it's fine if you're cool with it.

[She gestures to the old retrofitted hotel.]
It's bigger than I thought it would be.
no subject
Which room did you say you were in?

I'm in 413! It's just down the hall from you.
no subject
[Indeed he is, and hers is a room that is completely uninhabited. She looks around, already distorted-voice echoing slightly.]
There's a lot of space, isn't there? I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it all!

You might even think of more stuff after you get some memories back.
