[There's a man looking in his early thirties with an expression caught between amused and distressed as he sits at the terminal.]

Earth is destroyed, huh? I know there's plenty of species who would love to. That letter wasn't really informative. Was it the Conclave? Or someone who tried to go rogue from them? No, that doesn't make sense... Gao's got them on a short leash.

If you're telling me my home was destroyed, you couldn't even tell me who did it?

[His amused expression falters.]

Unless this is some kind of torture setup, in which case I'm talking to no one who cares, I guess.

ack sorry that last tag was supposed be "never heard"

[midgarhorizon]

Right, different world.

I figured. :|b

[oldmannomore]

I've been to different worlds. Unless you're not human? But most of them know about the CDF.

[midgarhorizon]

If I wasn't human, what would I be?

[oldmannomore]

[He just stares at Reno, with a 'seriously?' look.]

A lot of things.

[midgarhorizon]

Too bad, I was actually curious.

[oldmannomore]

[Pfft.]

With the way our soldiers change between, it's not out of the question for other races to have developed that technology as well.

[midgarhorizon]

[You've lost him here now.]

I'm going to take a guess- you mean shape shifting?

[oldmannomore]

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a race out there that can do that, but no. I mean taking your mind from one body and putting it into another.

[midgarhorizon]

Yeah, I don't think we can do that.

[oldmannomore]

Most humans on Earth don't know about it yet, I guess.

[midgarhorizon]

Earth, huh? Is that your planet?

[oldmannomore]

Yeah. Where are you from?

[midgarhorizon]

Gaia, or like the old geezers say, Gaea. Either's fine. I don't know what the Cetra called it.

[oldmannomore]

I've never heard of that one. Though it sounds like a decent name for a colony.

[midgarhorizon]

I wouldn't call it a colony.

[oldmannomore]

... What would you call it, then?

Reno's sense of humor.

[midgarhorizon]

I'd call it a planet.

Is amazing. Also I need more icons.

[oldmannomore]

[... He bursts out laughing at that.]

You've got a point, I guess.

Icons... nowhere to put them. XD

[midgarhorizon]

I've always got a point, I just tend to say screwed up stuff with it.

[oldmannomore]

I've met plenty of people like that. I guess I should try to figure out more about this place - got any information that might be useful?

[And maybe he should start being a little less critical of this stuff. It's just that the CDF's pamphlets never tell the whole story.]

[midgarhorizon]

Not really. This place is great like that. You can theorize like hell but it doesn't matter in the end for lack of evidence. The only thing I'm sure of is that there's no front door.

[oldmannomore]

No one's tried blowing out another door?

[midgarhorizon]

Trust me, the walls are made out of something adamantine. Explosions don't cause a dent in it.

[oldmannomore]

... Smart of them. There's got to be something, though...

[midgarhorizon]

Of course there is. We got here, didn't we? I'm just worried it's a one way trip.
