YL078T | Voice | Night 009

[doomcame]

[Taissa has woken up in a new place much farther than ever before. It's too warm, even for night. The tropical trees growing just inland of the beach only confirm that this is considerably south of New Jersey. Her clothes are soaked through and she doesn't remember being in the water. Was there a shipwreck? There must be other boats nearby. The coast guard, or somebody, should be out there.

She picks up the only thing outside of herself that she has found on the sand so far. It looks like some sort of emergency radio. She listens to only a snippet of a message before calling out herself, but it sounds enough like military jargon to give her hope of timely rescue. She attempts to sound calm through her shock and confusion. Loud and clear.]

Hello? Who am I speaking to? This is Senator Taissa Turner. I seem to be lost and in need of assistance.

[Also in need of a quick transceiver tutorial, clearly.]

[ He's not an idiot, of course. He's completely aware that most everyone on the island thinks he's batshit. It only bothers him slightly, but it only bothers him because he hates his credibility being in question. He doesn't care if people don't believe him about petrification. He cares if people think he's too crazy to trust his science knowledge. ]

You need to make something, ask me. I'll tell you how. I know more science than you've heard of.

[ He's only bragging a little bit. But it's also just true, he knows an ABSURD amount of things! ]

Beyond that, if you get to this part of the island, I can show you a couple things that might make you believe me a little. I don't care one millimeter if you don't, though. I'm gonna get everyone off this stupid ass rock and back home anyway. Someone's got to.

[doomcame]

That's the attitude we all need right now.

[Whether or not she ever believes him. With the unique things she has to look forward to on this island though, Taissa will likely be coming to terms with some new concepts a lot sooner than she can imagine.]

[hyakuoku]

I mean it. Anyway, you need something you can't figure out how to make or build, ask me. I'll tell you how.

[ He's very earnest in this offer. Whatever else anyone thinks about him, he's got a TON of knowledge and he shares it for free. ]

Good luck, Senator.

[ He sounds a little like he's teasing when he calls her that but he just kind of...does that. ]
