...and?
Who’s face was it?
Well, I’ll say that EVA has gone through some changes there.
Remember that Shuttle 106 is involved, so somebody is messing with the timeline.
Might be Old Kappa, as opposed to the one we see on Bradamante “four months back”.
Or maybe there are some tangled alliances there, for good or ill, but with somewhat united goals.
He tried to focus on the face as it shone through the surrounding darkness.
“You have no idea how long we looked for you.” the face glanced to her right, smiled faintly, and then made a gesture nod towards someone else in the room.
He saw a familiar face grimly survey the effects of deep freeze on nanite induced undead coworker.
“You look like hell.” Sigma chuckled.
“Same could be said for you, we were about to scrap you for parts.” Kappa made a familiar and old joke.
“I haven’t been a corpscicle that long, have I?” Sigma had to ask.
The previous vaguely familiar face came back into view.
“All I can say is that we’ve had a long roundabout journey to find you. At least, that’s all I can say for now. Doubtless you’ll guess or have already guessed much.” the face seemed almost awed by seeing him.
He coughed, rubbed his face, and began:
“Remember your short hyperspace jump towards the incoming enemy fire?”
I can’t tell. I can’t see my face from here!
