[ It's well after dark, and one of the newest arrivals is having a very bad day. He hasn't introduced himself and doesn't plan to. So his introduction is one of mistaken identity. There is no video, only the extremely urgent, gruff voice of an old soldier. ]

Omnic threat sighted! I repeat, we have a Titan class omnic, fully armed, sighted in Maurita Falls. At--It's in a park. Currently, stationary, arrived some time in the last hour. Full specs unknown. Requesting support of an engineer. Or anyone with power enough to destroy a robot the size of a building.

I'll run distraction!

[ And it ends there. No further details, no sign off. But it's bad if Mister Lone Wolf is asking for help.....or so he thinks. ]

[ oh for the love of- ]

Some imPorts are robots and cyborgs. Please do not attack and destroy...!

[notayoungman]

This is no simple robot! This is a Titan! It's--I don't have time to explain. Get off the comms if you're not going to help!

[ Old habits die hard, after all. ]

[ghoulking]

No, I'm not going to help you to possibly murder an imPort because you fail to realize this world is not your own.

[WHILE STILL BEING SHOT]

It's kind of cute, actually.

[ goddamnit Riptide ]

It's not. New imPorts do this way too often. [ it's dangerous. And stupid. ]

I'll go to the park to stop him.

Re: video

[knaval]

I can stop him. It's not like he's doing any damage. I'll just... I dunno. Put him in time out, or something.

Re: video

[ghoulking]

[ aa. At least he is not killing him. Even though "self defense" could come into play if he wanted ]

He deserves that, for sure. Take his gun and break it so he'll learn a lesson about "dangerous toys".

I'm not taking or breaking anything. This isn't my department to deal with, especially not as an alien.


...I did learn some stuff about politics, you know.

[ghoulking]

But you do have the right to defend yourself.

It's not like you'd hurt him by taking away the thing he is using attempt to hurt you. [ look if this was kaneki, he'd break the guy's legs and be done with it ]

[knaval]

His little peashooter is hardly even chipping my paint. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he's just never seen aliens before.

...Or can't tell me apart from whatever omnics are.

[ghoulking]

Probably the later.

Are you trying to talk to him, at least? [ to explain he is not an "omnic" ]

[knaval]

Yeah. Uh, don't human's hearts explode when they get too scared, or something? Should I call someone?

[ghoulking]

What- no.

I mean, if he has a heart condition but - the nanites. [ nanites won't let him have a heart attack. probably ] Just talk to him and explain.

[knaval]

...He sounds old. Are you sure?

[ghoulking]

Talking to him is probably less stressful than letting him continue to shoot you. Specially because he says the "omnics" have attacked his world.

[knaval]

I'll let him vent it out.

[notayoungman]

ImPort or not, these things tried to destroy my world!

[ghoulking]

Again: this is not your world.

It's hard to get that because of your reasons, I understand that. But even if Riptide was guilty of that, when an imPort arrives here their slate is clean, until they do something here.

Right now, you are the criminal.

[notayoungman]

[ All that gets is a growl of frustration and a prompt disconnect. Impulsive and stubborn? Him? Never. ]

[ghoulking]

[ he's lucky Riptide doesn't decide to break his legs. Kaneki certainly would. ]
