1st Mission | Audio
[The voice on the Network is deep, forceful, and thoroughly unamused.]
You know, I've thought about getting a tattoo before. This thing on my wrist? It’s not exactly what I had in mind.
I'm Jacob Taylor. I'm looking for some answers. They’re telling me that I'm in a different universe, and I've traveled through time. Apparently I've been drafted, too.
[Jacob pauses, snorts.]
This is all bullshit, right? The kind of tech they're talking about shouldn't even exist, especially not in the 21st century. And I'm not fighting for a government I don’t believe in or belong to. I'm no mercenary.
If anybody wants to help fill the new guy in, I'd appreciate it. I'm not swearing any oaths until I get more information.

Thanks, but I'd rather get my information from a person than a brochure. Do you work for the government here?

I'll take anything you can give me. What do you think a newcomer needs to know the most?

I'm still working on finding that out, but my guess is? Nothing good. I doubt they'd bring us here just to let us hang around.
And 'Jacob' is fine with me.

Yes, these are all true. You haven't been asked either, it's something this government does out of desperation, or so it seems. What they can do appears to be extremely powerful yet they apparently need to strip us of our own lives in order to seek assistance.
It's disgraceful! And our cries for answers continue to call on deaf ears. But the best we can do is wait until more information shows itself.
no subject
So it looks like they're desperate, but we've got no idea why?
[Jacob snorts again. You can practically hear him shaking his head.]
Great.

Someone else told me this is related to a 'Cold War.' You think they're going to tell us to fight the Russians?

Sorry, Taylor. It's nice to meet you, but we don't have all that much information. Just that, apparently, the Porter that brought us all here just...does it. They don't control it, if you ask them, and the draft is to keep us safe from their enemies. I'm Isaac Clarke.
[He pauses.]
Do you think you moved forward or backward in time?
video;
[Jacob gives the tools and the bench a quick once-over before giving Isaac his full attention.]
Good to meet you, Isaac. Thanks for answering my questions. They've really built all of this around something they don't even control?

[There's glass clinking on the other side of the line. A muted tune coming from somewhere far off.]
But there's other options. I wasn't about to sign up to work for anyone either.

I guess someone just decided to change the rules.
no subject
The way I see it, rules that can be changed whenever someone just decides aren't worth much. I was kind of hoping the laws of time and space were made of tougher stuff.
