[If robot faces could look frustrated, this would totally be it. There are more important things she was worried about before she got here.

As it will take some time to get herself integrated with and accustomed to the network around here, she's going to have to do this the old-fashioned way. Much less efficient. But then, these were organics.]

If any individual has any information concerning this place or why I was brought here that I have not been given already, I would be...interested in hearing it. [A pause.] It also appears that quite a large amount of classified data has been leaked. I would like to know why as well. [She doesn't say what, though. Self preservation.

For the same reasons she's also a little reluctant to introduce herself--or at least to give her full designation. For now, she's simply a cleverly programmed synthetic. No need to get into the specifics of AI and behavioral shackles. Or, rather, the lack thereof.]

I do not believe this is any place I have seen before, and I have no records of any society matching the technology I have seen thus far. Any assistance you can provide is appreciated.

I am not certain how much information I can offer beyond what you were already briefed upon. If you have a specific question, I might be able to offer an answer.

Justicar Samara. [This is unexpected.] What are you doing here?

[justimom]

So it is you, EDI. [ Not nearly as unexpected as seeing EDI in a body. ] I am doing the same thing as you, here.

[kanadian]

Uh -- EDI?

[ A pauuuuse. Well, she's got her body. That body. ]

How long have you been here?

[mobilityassistance]

Major Alenko. I only recently arrived.

[ She was going to answer with something like, "If you find anything, share with the class" because she's just as lost, but. Huh. That voice sounds suspiciously just like EDI's, but when did EDI get a not-holo-chess-piece-looking face? ]

... Waaait a second.

What am I waiting for, Miss Goto?

Your queries…insufficient data…I’m of no use.

However, you…interested…fascinated… …What. Are. You?

Re: video;

[mobilityassistance]

[That's a difficult question to answer without giving too much away. But it's not like leaving things out is overtly lying, right?]

A virtual intelligence originally installed aboard an Alliance warship. The crew has taken to calling me EDI.

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

Wait a minute... EDI? Is that really you?

[Yes it's another surprised-at-the-body reaction from a Normandy crewmember.]

Re: Video

[mobilityassistance]

[So many crew members...]

Hello, Jacob.

[chancetoatone]

[The face and form are alien, he has no recollection of it at all. The voice, however...but how is that possible? Regardless, never forgetting anything has its advantages at times...or would that be disadvantages.]

There isn't much we know for certain. I'm sorry.

[A beat.]

Your voice is familiar. [But I still don't see how this is possible at all.]

Re: ( video )

[mobilityassistance]

[Seeing him alive is surprising. But she shouldn't mention that out loud, right? This is one of those times to be tactful.]

Hello, Thane. You seem well.

[The more sentient, artificial lifeforms show up around here, the more Isaac realizes how painfully behind the collective times his universe was...

...and he loved every minute of it.]

Well, it's Earth, at least that's what they call it, but the history doesn't line up with anything I was ever taught.

...and we'd like to know a lot of those why's, ourselves. Uh, I'm Isaac Clarke. What, um, do you want me to call you?

Re: ( video )

[mobilityassistance]

I have no record of Earth development matching what I have seen so far.

[A pause.]

EDI.

[glowsferatu]

A very troublesome machine decided that she wants you be a hero for her. Whatever data they have would have come from her.

If it isn't familiar, that will be due to you not being from around here originally. It's possible and not at all unheard of that you'll have traveled not only through Space, across dimension, but through time as well. It's a thing that happens.

Re: voice.

[mobilityassistance]

["She?" Odd, but not the important part.]

I was not aware that inter-dimensional travel was possible.

[ The face isn't familiar; the voice, however, is, and after skimming a few of the replies to the post, Shepard's suspicions are more or less confirmed. ]

There may be some similarities, but this place isn't an accurate representation of our own history.

[ A pause. He can hazard some guesses as to what classified data she's talking about, too, but ... ]

As for how they know so much about us, it probably has something to do with what brought you in. Besides that, I don't know.

Commander Shepard. [Who is left on the Normandy if everyone is here :| ]

I would prefer that information not be in the hands of strangers.

voice;

[slightlyoffchilt]

How fortunate, that you already know individuals here.

[mobilityassistance]

Is that unusual?

[paintjobs]

Now there's a sight that's easy on the optics. Really, it's about time we got more inorganics in.

[mobilityassistance]

Are synthetics uncommon?

[functionoverfeels]

Have you received any useful data?

[the person on the other end of the feed might look like an early teenager, but she does have a certain precise way of speaking that might give away her robotic nature.]

I don't have records as extensive as yours. All I know is that this place only somewhat resembles the technology of my home. It's very... anachronistic.

video;

[mobilityassistance]

So far, no. [Interesting, sure, but not useful.]

I agree. It is possible, however, that this society exists beyond what I have data for.
