001 VIDEO:

[ A woman in white was reclined out across one cherrywood legless chairs that came standard with the more ornate Fire sector suite decor. Despite being in a state of repose she still managed to radiate with a severe, cagey quality to her character. ]

I'll let the rest of you go over our shared displacement ad nauseam until anything useful comes of it. Right now I need anyone good with a computer [ Jarring to her elegant appearance the woman loudly cracks her shoulders and she stretched them to an uncomfortable angle to work out a painful kink in her joints. ] -or a brain surgeon. After I threw those poor kedan off the cart that brought me here.

[ She clicks her tongue as if realizing that sounded unsavory. ]

They're unharmed, but I think I overtaxed myself in the confusion.

...What did you do that needs a brain surgeon to fix? [wtf woman]

[ Alright, teenager. Sure she can put up with one if he could point her in the right direction. Miranda flicked her wrist only to clench it into a tight fist; it began to glow with what looked like blue flames that licked on the edges of times as anything got in its glows appeared distorted, and slowed. ]

Biotic amp could have rattled if I took any kind of blow to the head. [ Miranda flicked her wrist again the strange florid blue was gone. ] Not that I care to admit putting myself in such a situation to begin with.

[He looks visibly startled, because that sure is new] A bio - what? [Hold on] You have something in your head that makes you do that? [Wait] What is that? [Percy asks the important questions]

A bio-amp, and it doesn't 'make' me do anything. [ Miranda pinches the bridge of her nose with the onset of a headache she really hoped wasn't a sign her amp really did take any kind of damage. Just what she needed. Primitives. ] All it does it filter out a build up of static in the brain. Wetware like this works more like a battery - if you want to call it that.

You did what?!

[ +1 brain surgeon! ]

How sure, exactly, are you that the Kedan is unharmed? Did you even check?

Confusion, Miss, will pass. Brain hemorrhaging will not!

[ A brief bout of rapid blinking is the only show of confusion Bones is going to get out of her before Miranda purses her lips in sudden irritation. ]

Of course I checked; I would never report anything I did not, thoroughly, confirm for myself.

[ And that's how the two most anal people in the known universe met. ]

[ Here's the start to a beautiful hateship. ]

Oh, so you're a doctor, too, then?

[ Why, yes, that Georgian accent is thick with sarcasm and a folding of arms over a puffed out chest. ]

[Hello McCoy, don't mind Shepard, just, you know, hopping on in here.] Doctor, this is Miranda Lawson. She's from my world, and she's one of the most brilliant people I know. I owe her my life. She knows what she's doing.

[YOU TWO SHOULD BE FRIENDS.]

[ Miranda rankled under his question finding it hard to resist some professional posturing. ]

Something like that; private sector. [ She got the impression he was military and answered with all the detached cageyness she only offered the military crowd. ]

[WOW A FAMILIAR FACE WHAT IS THIS NEW EMOTION -

And then oh, Miranda. What have you done now?]

You didn't scare the poor kedan too badly, did you? They're harmless, you know.

[ you have encountered a shepper ]

[ shepper shepper shepper ]

I start to come around in an old horse cart pulled by a merry band of multi-coloured strangers, and even I'm going to fall back on instinct.

Well, I guess it could've been worse.

[She hesitates a moment.] Do you... what's the last thing you remember?

[ There's a moment where Miranda doesn't say anything, and even goes so far as to begin to fidget with her hands. ]

Trying to come up with a satisfactory answer is still a little difficult without aggravating this damned headache. [ Miranda snarled that last part; she never did like to voice even the most minor injury. ]

I remember meeting with other ex-Cerberus contacts on the Citadel after obtaining a private fighter, but everything else after is all just a...haze.

[Good with a computer, you said?]

While I am no surgeon, I do qualify as the first.

What sort of assistance do you need?

[He's mildly intrigued by the qualifiers she put forth.]

[ Miranda extended her arm where it soon became engulfed in an orange light that appeared to take on the shape of several small, moving screens. ]

I don't suppose you're any good with haptic display, or omni-tool technology?

[This is decently ahead of what he has come to conclude as likely being from Earth, or at least the same time period as what he has inferred most of them- Kal-El, primarily- had or were used to.]

I am familiar with the concepts involved and have knowledge of the first, though we did not use it ourselves for input where I came from. [Holographic technology itself yes, though the aesthetics of Kryptonian technology- fundamentally organic- did not include very much in the way of haptics.] We did not have omni-tools, if I am correct in guessing that is what it is.

[ Miranda swallows the need to huff as she consigns herself to working with what is given to her, but seeing as they were on the same page then she wasn't feeling as if she were speaking another language. ]

But you're familiar with this kind of technology? [ She gestures to her omni-tool. ] Do you have anything like it here?

That's one way to make an entrance. A way the kedan proooobably didn't appreciate.

[Remember this loser? No? He remembers you, missy.]

Welcome back, I guess?

[ Right in the kokoro, Dick. Right in the kokoro. ]

Sorry I- [ Miranda tilted her head and strained her vision. ] -I don't know you.

[ Sounding genuinely confused which was a feat in and of itself, Miranda only stared at the boy as if he were a new alien species. ]

[He didn't even know you had a kokoro, Miranda.]

It's okay, it happens sometimes. I don't know how or why, exactly. [He has theories, of course, but he also doesn't want to seem like he knows too much.]

My name's Dick. You used to work for my dad's company, Wayne Enterprises, when you were here before. You thought I was really cool and let me help you in the lab.

[That last one is a bold-faced lie and Miranda can probably tell.]

[ Her head felt like an overripe melon splitting at the seams, she just threw several aliens out of horse cart, and precocious children were talking at her. Miranda really didn't even. Should she laugh it off, or demand something a little more concrete. ]

I- what? Who is your father, and why exactly are you so certain I was ever here before? It's been a long day, but I exhausted not brain damaged.

Oh. My. God. Thank you.

Hmm? [ It could be the medi-gel or that she's simply done what with what was going on around, but Miranda was just going to let the deformed krogan clarify himself. ]

First, because you're beautiful, and that's awesome. More importantly though, do you have any idea how boring it gets pranking the newbies who don't know what's going on around here? I mean, I feel like we can just skip that whole song and dance now.
