I've had a couple days to absorb all this. Take it in. Adjust to the fact that I'm not, in fact, *dead*. Why anyone would choose me to help with their mission is beyond me. Don't the powers that be know what happened the last time I had an important mission?

Oh yeah, that's right.

I DIED.

Good going, bossman. You make the best *decisions*. You're at

Many die. It's nice to escape from it, though.

Also... Be careful with the bracelets, they cause a nasty shock.

[broketheloop]

I take it you've tried pulling it off?

[nowcomeforth]

To confirm the theories of others, yes.

[broketheloop]

Good thing I haven't tried. It's a shame we can't pick what wrist it goes on.

[nowcomeforth]

Oh, a shame indeed! But that's the problem with being captives, choices are hardly in our hands. Or on our arms, for that matter!

[broketheloop]

Funny. Traded one prison for another.

[nowcomeforth]

It is unfortunate. But this place has food, and clean water. It could be far worse.

[broketheloop]

I haven't eaten in...

[He doesn't even know how long. Time stretches on in the Animus. Years could be hours.] What year is it?

[nowcomeforth]

Then by all means, eat! There is such food to be had!

...I do not know. In my home, it is the year of our lord 2059. Things are different here, however.

[broketheloop]

I plan to. Can you suggest a place with really good steak?

That seems like too far.

[There's a couple difficult minutes between the previous text and the next.]

20...12, I think. 2012.

[nowcomeforth]

There's a steakhouse in The Old Town, as they call it, it's supposedly good. I have not had time to try it though, so it's only hearsay. [And directions come with!]

That's quite a time difference indeed! We're a few years apart. If I have my dates right at all, that is. I'm terrible about keeping track, I'll admit!

[broketheloop]

[Directions. Rad.] Old town, huh? I'll give it a try. Thanks.

47 years.

[nowcomeforth]

If it is good, perhaps I will try it myself.

Not that long, in the end! It could be a far greater gap, although so much change happened in the years between.

[broketheloop]

I'll let you know how it goes.

A lot can happen in a year.

[Especially in Clay's case.]

[nowcomeforth]

Thank you much!

A lot can happen in a month, even. The world changes quickly, when it can.

[broketheloop]

No problem.

Even when it shouldn't, it will.
