But we were created.

This... it can't be. Price always said we--
He's going to assume I'm a construct, isn't he?

[depthlesslock]

...Yeah.

Said what?
No, he knows you're human. I told him how different you are here, how mut-h you love chemistry, your family, that you're so fun, outgoing and up for anything, and how mut-sh I love you.

[ambitious_muse]

We... we were always his experiments. Barely people, in his eyes. Less than human.

I... I always wondered if there was a reason.

I--I love you too. I'm just... I'm scared of what he'll expect, I guess.

[depthlesslock]

You're very human, Sig. I don't know what the fuck was up with Price, he seems incapable of not being an asshole, no matter the world. But don't listen to him. You're human.

That's completely reasonable. He's pretty anxious as well. I'll be there the whole time, I promise. ...Unless you don't want me there.

[ambitious_muse]

It's... I'll try.

No, please, you have to be there. I--I don't know if I could face him alone.

[depthlesslock]

Thank you.

I will, I promise. And if you want to leave or he can't stand it, then we'll stop. But please try first.

[ambitious_muse]

I'll give it a shot.

...He probably thinks he knows me, doesn't he?

[depthlesslock]

Thank you.

Probably. I mean, I had assumptions about him because he's Wash and he had some about me. But we're all really different. You and the Washes especially.

[ambitious_muse]

Different?

Do I need to know how?

[depthlesslock]

It's... Look, that reality is seriously fucked up for us all.

[ambitious_muse]

Do I need to know how badly?

[depthlesslock]

Really really bad. Basically we were parter of a military project that was corrupt in about every way possible. Pretty much everyone got hurt and a lot of people were killed.

[ambitious_muse]

So Wash's conscience is catching up with him?

[depthlesslock]

I guess that could be... part of it.

[ambitious_muse]

Who did he kill?

...or, who did he lose?

[depthlesslock]

He said he's the only one still alive.

...He killed South. And... the AIs.

[ambitious_muse]

Why?

[depthlesslock]

South shot him first. In the back.

The AIs were... I guess they were dangerous. Though by that point, I'm not sure how mut-sh of a threat they were.

[ambitious_muse]

But South--

[He barely knows her, but he does know she wouldn't shoot a teammate. ...not in the back, anyway, with a fully-lethal gun. What had happened between them in this other world?]

Dangerous? How could my family ever be dangerous?

[depthlesslock]

I know. She drives me crazy half the time but... She wouldn't do that.

They were... They got separated. ...Worse te that,they'd been torn apart. That Sigma was trying to put them back together again and... people got hurt in the process.

[ambitious_muse]

Torn--torn apart?! Beyond being separated? How--

[But that's exactly what he would do. Try to put them back together, anyway.]

[depthlesslock]

Fuck, I really wanted to have this conversation on person.

The AIs in the other Wash's world... There
was only meant to be Alpha. But the project needed more than one and they couldn't copy Alpha so they... split him. Broke him into pieces that became new, independant AI who worked with the agents. And... Fuck, Sig. It was Price. Him and some other prick called the Director who did it. I'm so sorry.

[ambitious_muse]

...

Even in another universe, we're never free of him, are we?

[depthlesslock]

Would seem that way. I'm really sorry, Sig. I wish I could be with you now to hold you.

[ambitious_muse]

I--are you at the base?
