“How long have you been there?”

Utah shrugged.

“Eh, not for too long. Probably for, I dunno, ten minutes, give or take?” the white armored freelancer replied. Sitting on top of a storage crate, he boredly swung his legs off of one side.

Drumming his fingers against the side of the metal container, he asked, “So, am I supposed to wait here for someone to come fetch me or something? The Director wasn’t really clear on where I was supposed to go after I got here.”

“Well…technically someone was supposed to come and get you.” Tana frowned, eyeing Utah thoughtfully. “Wasn’t me, today is my off day…but since no one has shown up I can show you around. Actually I can guess who was supposed to meet you…and that ass is probably still sleep.”

“Man, I wish I could’ve slept in today,” Utah sighed longingly. “The Director probably would’ve killed me if I was late, though.”

Utah stared at her for a moment, seemingly surprised by her offer to give him a tour of the base. It didn’t take long before a wide grin spread across his face.

“Really? Aw, cool, thanks!” he said, swinging his legs one more time before hopping off of the storage crate.

“Cough againand then try to talk. Not many shoulda survived the dive you took there but you’re lucky I was there. My name’s Alex but most call me York. I don’t recognize you. Then again you probably don’t recognize me.” York takes a second to think. “Really should watch where you’re goin’. Got any idea where you are?”

equipmentmalfunctions

Utah did as he was told and coughed again, clearing out some more water from his lungs.

He stared up at Alex, furrowing his brow as he tried to figure out where they were. Well, he didn’t know where he was exactly, but the taste of saltwater in his mouth and the sand underneath his hands gave him a general idea of where he might be.

“Uh... a beach?” he said uncertainly, his voice still hoarse from his coughing fit. He coughed several more times, before trying to speak again. “You can call me Otto. Or Utah,” he said with a shrug. “It’s a stupid nickname, but I’m kinda stuck with it now.”

Being in someone’s head was weird. For one thing, it wasn’t quite as roomy as the storage unit had been, there were so many other things, other thoughts. Kappa knew he wasn’t supposed to poke around too much, not unless the Freelancer gave him permission. They were supposed to be working together. There had been an accident, Kappa wasn’t sure about the details, but he could see some of the damage.

Utah, that was his partner’s name. The counselor had shown him the file before, told him a little about the Freelancer. But reading about someone and being in their head were two very different things. He was supposed to be doing something, helping. And he was pretty sure he liked helping people. Honestly he wasn’t too sure. Being around people was new, everything was new.

He should probably do something, or say something. There was a way to project himself from the armor, but he hadn’t quite figured it out yet. And he had to pick what he wanted to look like first. And he should probably at least say hello first.

“Uh… hey dude,” he said slowly. “So you’re Utah, huh? State names, that’s cool. Heard you got kinda fucked up… you wanna talk about it?”

That probably wasn’t the best way to start, but it wasn’t as though the director and the counselor had sat him down to teach him basic people skills. But those would probably come with time. Hopefully.

The sharp pain at the nape of his neck and the mild headache he had were the first two things Utah had noticed upon waking up from his surgery. The second thing that he had noticed were the bright, white lights overhead and unusually pristine state of the room, which was an immediately giveaway as to where he was.

The medbay.

Why was he in the medbay? Utah sat up in the bed he was resting in, looking about the room in confusion. He hadn’t gotten knocked out by Maine during a spar again, had he?

He looked around the room, searching for someone to ask, but there wasn’t anyone else there. Not even a single member of the ship’s medical personnel. Odd.

The white armored freelancer jolted upon hearing the disembodied voice of his newly assigned AI, but he only hesitated for a short moment before answering Kappa.

“Uh, yep, that’s me, alright.” He scratched the back of his head before he froze. “Fucked up?”

Utah paused, taking a moment to think before he remembered his dome shield incident. It was a recent accident, yet it felt like it happened so... long ago.

The freelancer was silent for a short while, staring at the opposing wall as he tried to recall more details about his accident. Distracted by this new train of thought, Utah forgot that he had been asked a question in the first place.

After spending a short while deep in thought, Utah glanced up and looked about the room again.

“Uh... hello?”

York liked to think of himself as a good samaritan, but when he pulled this guy out of the Pacific he knew he’d stepped in something he didn’t want to touch. Whatever, he couldn’t just let him drown. He hauled him onto the beach amidst the coughs and sputters and set him down gently.

“Just keep coughin,” He knelt next to him, resting a hand on his back, “Dunno how much water you got in ya but it’s enough to cause issues.”

equipmentmalfunctions

Utah didn’t respond to York, too occupied with hacking up his lungs to get out all the saltwater he inhaled. His chest heaved as he spat out some more water, his throat aching with each of his coughs. Once his coughing fit had finally stopped, the man slumped against the sand, completely unmoving save for his shivering and the occasional rise and fall of his chest.

After a short while, Utah attempted to ask his savior a question, but all that managed to come out of his mouth was a pathetic wheeze.

Her fist connected she watched Utah stumble backwards falling hard with a thud to the ground with a loud yelp of alarm that was so loud that it left a ringing in Carolina’s ears.

“Maybe next time you’ll learn to shut up!” the cyan freelancer scolded.

As much he deserved to be punched in the face for making all those lame puns, she let her temper get the better of her and when she does she had a tendency to come somewhat violent and use her fists instead of words. She felt even more bad when Utah took off his helmet and seeing the deep gash in his forehead made by the shattered visor with him apologizing profusely.

Carolina sighed loudly.

“Utah,..” she took a step towards him then stopped not wanting to frighten the poor guy even further.

Utah brought his hand up to gently touch the wound on his forehead. He then held his hand out in front of himself, examining the blood coating the fingertips of his armored glove. He was completely silent for a short while, but it was unclear whether his unresponsiveness was a result of either his own shock or of him taking a harsh blow to the head.

“Carolina, I get that I might’ve gotten kinda carried away with my puns…” he said, slightly slurring his words. He hesitated for a brief moment, his face solemn, but as soon as he looked up at her, his serious expression was quickly replaced by a shit-eating grin. “…so it’s punderstandable that you got upset.”

Carolina let out a furious growl of annoyance, She didn’t fucking hesitate when she fucking decked him, her fist slamming straight into Utah’s visor hard probably putting a few cracks in it and enough to send him hurdling backwards

“You are such an ass!”

Yelping in alarm, Utah stumbled backwards and painfully fell onto his rear end.

“Ow, fuck!” he whined, instinctively shutting his eyes when he felt a shard from his now shattered visor cut into his forehead. Holding a hand up protectively, he used his other free hand to tug off his helmet and toss it to the side. “Christ, okay, okay, I’m sorry!”

“Utah!” The cyan freelancer balled her fists, she was two seconds away from just decking him right though his god damn visor. And it really pissed her off even more that he seemed to not be at all phased by her threats.

The white armored freelancer took a step back, although he didn’t hesitate to tell her another pun.

“Aw, sorry, Carolina. I didn’t mean to punish you with my wordplay.”
