[001 - video message]
[On the network, a video feed starts up from one of the watch comps, pointed directly at the face of the user. Said user happens to be a woman with blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail, wearing a futuristic looking armored suit. Her helmet is currently off so that her face is visible on camera.
It appears that she is sitting in a stark white hospital room, with several doctors nearby reviewing clipboards and storing samples of... are those vials of glowing blood?
Speaking of glowing, the woman herself happens to be glowing slightly blue all over, and there are dark blue veins running along certain areas on her face.
When she's positive that the feed is working, she begins to speak.]
My name is Samus Aran, from my universe I'm what's known as a space hunter, a hired mercenary and bounty hunter primarily working for the Galactic Federation. One of my missions recently left me infected with a radioactive substance known as Phazon; my body is currently producing Phazon at a steady rate, and the city's government feared that my condition may cause harm to civilians, so I have been in the hospital for the past two days while tests were being run.
As I assured them, and as they confirmed, my condition is not contagious nor is it outright harmful to either myself or any others that I come into contact with. I now assure you that there is no need to fear my condition, and I'm taking great care to make sure that I keep it under control.
[To her chagrin this might mean regular check-ups at the doctor's.]
As a warning, my body and my suit are irradiated, so radiation detectors will go off if I come near them.
I'll be happy to answer any questions or concerns regarding my condition, but first I would like to ask if there happens to be anyone from my universe currently residing in the city. If you are at all familiar with the Galactic Federation, whether you are a part of the Federation Police or military, or whether you are simply aware of their presence as the law enforcement of the galaxy you are from, please let me know.

[She isn't entirely sure what to say...]
... Who is this?
no subject
[Duuuh.]
no subject
[She's beginning to suspect, but...]
no subject
[She says in a voice that doesn't sound very Ms.Aran-like at all.]
no subject
Gandrayda?? [There is an uncharacteristic amount of surprise in her voice and expression.]
no subject
Ha ha haha...you should never trust strangers even if they look like you, Sammy.
no subject
Gandrayda, where have you been for the past several weeks? [She couldn't have been here, time doesn't pass in this universe, or so she's been told.] The Federation lost contact with you soon after you arrived on the Space Pirate Homeworld. They had feared that something happened to you.
no subject
[...well even Gandrayda could be serious sometimes. And this was one of those moments. Savoir it while you could.]
I don't remember anything of the sort happening. The last thing that happened before I was sent here was the dark figure that looked like you attacking all of us.
no subject
I don't understand... That was a little over a month ago for me. After that entity attacked us, the four of us were infected with Phazon, and out bodies began steadily producing it. My body took the longest to stabilize after the attack, so in the meantime you, Rundas, and Ghor were sent to destroy Leviathan Seeds that had struck other planets in the system.
The Federation lost contact with all three of you shortly afterward.
I found Rundas and Ghor, but I had yet to find you.
no subject
[Sorry being serious doesn't last too long. Or at least sneaking in about how she's really good at her job.]
I've been here long enough to know this is a common occurrence. red a few posts where others found part of their teams coming from a different time and timeline from them.
You know, I always had a feeling there might be more than one universe, but this is something else...
no subject
[A different time? It wasn't too surprising, it actually made some sense, that people would be randomly pulled from different points in time. This doesn't do much to ease her fears about Gandrayda, however.
Samus is silent for a moment while she contemplates whether or not she wants to catch up Gandrayda on everything that had happened.]
... From my point in time, Rundas and Ghor are both dead. When I found them, they'd been corrupted by Phazon to the point where their minds had deteriorated past the point of reason, and they attacked me.
[You can probably put together the pieces of how exactly they died...]
I fear that you've been similarly corrupted, from my time. Currently, though, you don't seem to be infected at all.
no subject
Tsk. Is that what that figure did to all of us? That's annoying.
[She grins, just a little, flickering her wrist, thinking about the entire thing. In the end, she's her and unaffected for all she knows. Maybe she missed her chance to die there, who knows, or maybe this is just another place where she can start her own Hunt and help protect as much as she can.
How annoying, mind you. Making money with the Galactic Federation was much easier.]
Although Sammy... I'm afraid that if you had gotten to me...it would have been the fight of your life.
Not to brag or anything.
[But really tho, she's bragging.]
no subject
[But she understands that's definitely how Gandrayda would put it. Well, no matter. What's done is done, and it really is for the best if they don't dwell on it. Dwelling on the tragedies was something Hunters simply didn't do.
And brag all you'd like, Gandrayda, Samus will counter with total humility.]
Yes... I don't doubt that. In a battle against you, I'm not sure I would make it out alive... Still, I hope it never comes to that.
What are your plans, now that you're in the city? The Federation doesn't exist here... I'm not entirely sure that frequent bounties would either.
