7th Mission // Video

[Jacob films this post while standing in front of the white walls of Helix Station in Maurtia Falls, wearing a navy-blue tank top and black shorts. Judging by the sweat visible on his arms, he just finished his exercise for the morning. His ramrod-straight posture projects an image of Official Business that doesn't match his casual tone of voice, or his workout clothes.]

Hey, everyone. I'm Jacob Taylor. I work with RISE: that's an imPort police team, for all you new arrivals out there. I'm putting together something new for the community... kind of a public safety resource. Like the FAQ, but focused on who's causing trouble these days.

So I thought I'd ask: what do you think are the biggest threats around here? Criminals, terrorists, the Soviets? Maybe there's something most of us haven't heard about yet that more people need to know about. It's important to be aware, especially when people might want you dead. There's always something happening under the surface around here.

Oh, and just so we're clear: this is going to be a list focusing on groups, not individual people. So don't bother talking about who your least favourite imPorts are.

[He pauses for a moment, then relaxes his posture as he segues into more civilian matters.]

That's about it for official business. Unofficially... I was wondering if anybody has got suggestions on a good name for a dog.

[He's totally planning to get a dog. Heads up, MF 001 housemates!]

Name it Dorian.

[ or you know, he won't. this is 100% Dorian being confrontational for the sake of being confrontational. ]

If we're going for orders, I prefer "come."

[ said with the world's most suggestive-looking smirk. Look, you saw this coming. ]

See, I'd be rubbish at that one, never having actually died before.

[ Dorian you died twice. ]

Does it really count if you're brought back a few days later?

[ yes, it still counts, don't be a shithead Dorian ]
brushoff: (yeeeeeeeah no)

[ ding ding ding that is 100% the reason. ]

It mattered because Petrov murdered me and yet Armstrong decided to hire him. The amount of time I stayed dead didn't change the fact that I was dead in the first place.

Unsurprisingly, they can't give testimony. [ cause they dead ] As the person who can give testimony, it naturally lies to me to do what must be done.

I still have that old attempt at a costume, you know. Might as well bust it out again if I'm a true hero!

—and 'Dorian, NO!' for all the times he goes on to ruin everything.

Though it'll all be moot if your dog is, hmm... more compliant. [Said with a chuckle. As if Jacob would actually go through with it. Dorian had only mentioned to be twat.

Toby takes a slow breath at the question.

Ah, it's been a crazy ride on this roller coaster, but I really hadn't expected anything less.

[...that's not a very telling answer, is it?]

What, you mean obnoxious, trouble-making, and high-maintenance? [Even though he bursts out laughing, Toby understands the sentiment completely. That hardly begins a list describing Dorian's personality.] Wouldn't blame you one bit. Still, thanks for asking.

It's been some months since you moved to the area—how do you like living in Maurtia Falls?

[Toby never sees the sun nowadays, and with good reason. Seems like he's the only vampire who'll turn to ashes with exposure. Still, he can respect that the vast majority of people aren't like him, which is probably for the better anyway.]

Completely understandable, and I respect your dedication to your work. And I suppose living here is far more convenient than commuting from De Chima, isn't it? I've visited there a few times, but don't really know what it's like to actually live there. What did you like about it?

[His voice is filled with awe and wonder:] The future—how incredible!

I don't think I've spoken to so many people from the future, and the last I recall doing so must've been... oh, I don't know. Almost a year ago, probably. Certainly has been some time, and she didn't seem all too excited to share about it. For whatever reason.

Still, what sorts of inventions and gadgets exist by then? what sorts of things are we still missing out on here?

[Because Toby had been amazed by the existence of cell phones, gaming consoles, and the Internet shortly after returning to life. Certainly the future has so much more to offer.]

Aliens! So they really are out there? At least, where you're from. I'd imagine they're just trying to live out perfectly normal lives, as anyone on earth might be doing? Do any of them consider humans or... well, earthlings... hostile?
