Eric simply stares at the holographic display of Him, with no emotion on his face; after all that had happened to them, how could he have discernible emotion? This was the man, no, being, who had saved him from certain death. He was the being who took off his arm, and then fought alongside Eric to save his friends, and then left him for dead after a fight. Ginger was the most complicated, and perhaps the most dangerous person that he'd ever met, and even after all Ginger had done to him, for him, he didn't know what to call him.
[Artemis]: The two of you are galaxies away, there's no reason to fear him. I doubt that even ATLAS would like to be involved in Sol Alliance conquests, so he wouldn't come here even if he could.
[Eric]: You're right, of course. I... I just can't forgive him, but I can't thank him enough. He showed me who I am, and then almost killed me. Why would he leave me behind? Why didn't I kill him when I had the chance?
[Artemis]: I'm in your head, that doesn't mean that I can decipher your unconscious thoughts. Perhaps he is just as confused as you are...
She pauses, knowing what he wanted to see next.
[Artemis]: Ugh... Playing recording
Footage plays, stolen from the Axion Cruiser. 13 years ago, the original Ginger had gone rogue, insane perhaps. He had turned on his team, the best friends that he ever had, and nearly killed them all. One being, against the greatest soldiers in the galaxy, and yet they were almost powerless to stop him. So how was it that he, an un-augmented human, could beat him when the Genesis failed?
He realizes that someone is behind him, and quickly turns off the footage

[b]i walk up to Eric[/b] "You must be one of the new recruits, I heard JT put a good word in for you, what is it that you're good at?"
-
Eric looks away from Varn to address you "Sir, I-... I... Uh..." [Artemis]: Get a grip on yourself. He won't condemn you for doing what was necessary to live. [Eric]: Fine. I trust you Artemis. "I... I told JT that I was a hunter of sorts, and I wasn't lying, but I also didn't tell him the whole truth. I'm a bounty hunter, sir, and I have been for the past 14 years." [spoiler]For the record, since we don't have bios, he's around 23 or 24 years old. [/spoiler]
-
"Son, you were a bounty hunter? You know what that means to us? It means you know how to fight, you know how to survive and you're full of experience not to mention you're of the capable sort that we need right now. Welcome aboard. I'll give you a choice, you can join JT's hunters or for now you can work alone on tasks I give you as the need arises."
-
Eric looks at you differently now. For once, he seems truly touched. He straightens his posture and looks at you "Thank you for this sir, I won't let you down. If it's alright with you, I'd like to get to know my teammates better before I join the hunters, so for now would it be alright if you assigned me missions?"
-
I smile at the bounty hunter turned soldier. "That's understandable, report to the hanger there seems to be a situation going on there." [spoiler]we're gonna say this conversation took place in the past before the Corra incident that's happening [/spoiler]
-
"Understood sir, I'm on it." Power armor suddenly materializes over him, as if a wave suddenly clothed him in it, and he proceeds to the hangar. [spoiler]Gotcha. Also, I'll copy/paste some of his bio into the backstory thread, so people know his abilities. [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]ok sounds good[/spoiler]
-
*Varn is there* Hey! Like the new display?
-
Eric spins around in surprise. Artemis had failed to alert him of your presence, likely because she was still focusing on the video "Oh, yeah it's great. Like looking through a window, almost."
-
That's good. I take pride in my work.
-
"I can imagine. I would too, if I were such a craftsman." Eric means what he says, but hopes that you don't ask to see how it turned out.
-
Thanks I appreciate that. Some people just assume I have no mind because I'm an android.
-
"Trust me, I know that Artificial beings have feelings too." He taps the back of his head, where Artemis' chip is located.
-
Oh! What kind of AI is it?
-
Metarch Level Imperial Personnel, Smart AI. Stole her off of a general during a raid, and I took her as merely a trophy. Since then, she's become as much a part of me as an arm or a leg."
-
Mind if I talk to her?
-
He hesitates "Sure. Just grab my fake arm; that'll form a telepathic connection."
-
*Varn places his hand on your arm*
-
*jt joins you* Hey guys. You alright over here?
-
I was just asking Eric if he liked the display I made.
-
Ah. Okay then. Well, I just swam by to see if everything was okay. Bye now *jt leaves*
