"Who dis"?

[highvolt]

oh shit. are you an Old?

[loculus]

Guilty as charged.

[highvolt]

i'll rephrase:

good morrow, mine own nameth is mav and i am in engine'ring. who is't art thee?

[loculus]

Hail, I am Domingo, a messenger of those of great worth, sent forth to seek out worthy souls.

[highvolt]

well met, stranger. prithee, how long hast thou embarked on this voyage in the clouds?

[loculus]

Verily, so long 'tis time for me to receive a chamber in mine own honour.

[highvolt]

huzzah! fortune has smiled upon thee 🎉

so i heard you've got a beard. we talking like a mountain man beard?

[loculus]

The mountain man who's returned to civilization and found a skilled barber.

[highvolt]

can you braid it, or is more like mr. ex-psychiatrist's?

[loculus]

I could never compete with Ronen.

[highvolt]

he is reigning beard champion of the crew so far.

who'd they shack you up with?

[loculus]

As he deserves.

I'm a bachelor for the time being, which is likely for the best while I acclimate regardless.

[highvolt]

but like you've been here before, haven't you?

[loculus]

Only short-term.

[highvolt]

field work, moving around from mountain to mountain?

[loculus]

Exactly; urban mountain to urban mountain.

[highvolt]

you're not allowed to say if you were/are uncover, are you? will someone come out of a vent and taser you?

[loculus]

I'm afraid my days would be numbered if I even tried to say anything. I've worked Recruitment for the majority of my time in the resistance.

[highvolt]

it's okay, you can tell me. it'll be our little secret.

[loculus]

I won't be tasered by a vent dweller.

[highvolt]

don't worry: tasers only carry 2mA of current. just enough to give an animal a little zippy zap.

[loculus]

I won't be tasered by choice.
