[ The message is... nice, actually. A tad too formal. Bruce tries to reply in kind but everything he writes feels too stiff and weird and he doesn't really need to be addressed like he's some kind of officer because it couldn't be farther from the truth.

He goes for something a little more casual instead, and hopes Shepard won't mind it much. ]

Hey,

I'm alright, thank you. I hope you've managed to settle in well. You probably know already that there's another version of you on board the Moira? I'm just saying this because I don't think she likes me much, so it surprised me a little to see your name in my inbox.

I'm glad the file proved useful to you. I'm always working on it and trying to add any important information so if you ever think of something, feel free to let me know. As for my personal file, I saw it as a necessity more than anything. My condition can no longer be kept a secret after certain events transpired, and I'd rather people learn all there is to know about it from me than hearing it by word of mouth.

Anyway, thanks for getting in touch. Also, feel free to skip formalities and just call me Bruce.

[Formal first, and if the recipient downgrades on the tone, dress, or form, then you get to, too. The more casual reply is not only acceptable, but completely appreciated. She settles her response into an equally laid-back style.]

Hi Bruce,

Alternate universe me! We've met, but I'm not sure I would've taken it quite so calmly if it hadn't been for your guide and the preparations of friends who also had. I'm sorry to hear she doesn't like you. It doesn't seem like... us. Has she ever given a reason why?

Including your own information was a nice touch, and it's always good to be abreast of any situation with data. What about asking others if they'd like to volunteer information about their own conditions, etc.? It might seem strange, but people may be just as concerned as you are about their own powers causing distress. Additionally, I'm reasonably certain that our resident Cybertronians would appreciate having information about their race written up, at the very least to lessen the non-stop "are you a robot" questions.

Hope you're enjoying your vacation getaway.

I think it might have something to do with the fact that I turned into a monster in front of her, then proceeded to tear a whole planet apart. Not by my own volition, but that kind of thing doesn't tend to sit well with people, even when it's uncontrolled and not purposeful.

I've left that option open for people to decide. If anyone wants to write a file about themselves and their situation, I'll gladly link it to the introductory file. Same goes for the Cybertronians, if they choose to compile information about their race. I'm sure other people would appreciate it, even just for curiosity's sake. I know I'd like to learn more about them.

Thanks. It's not my sort of thing but it's actually pretty nice down here. Feels good to kick back and relax for once. You should give it a try, by the way.

Fair enough. We share the same face, but we are different people. I wasn't there, so I can't fully comment, but pragmatically speaking, I'm inclined to a more even opinion.

I might bring it up to them. Have you thought about bringing it up on the network? You may have done so in the past, but it might be worth doing again, considering the arrivals. With so much going on, early intentions can definitely get away from you (or I would have contacted you earlier!)

Relaxing? Never. What if I got addicted? Who would drink all that coffee in my stead?

[hyperkinesia]

I might do that again sometime, yes. Not right now. Things are already tense as it is, I have a feeling some people might jump at me assuming I'd be trying to out some people or pin them down as dangerous, which really isn't my intention.

Believe me, there is no shortage of coffee drinkers on board, it wouldn't go to waste. Plus, colorful fruity drinks are so much better. There are little umbrellas on them and everything, you can't go wrong with that.

[squadgoals]

That's a good point. Maybe if the vacation goes well.

Only if you join me. I'll make sure we get TWO umbrellas.

[hyperkinesia]

Alright, you got yourself a deal. Two umbrellas and an orange slice hanging from the side. Sound good?

[ Also he is 100% serious so you better not leave him hanging, Shepard. ]

[squadgoals]

Sounds great. Maybe even a maraschino cherry if we're feeling fancy.

Can we find a place with too many tiki torches & someone playing live guitar badly?

[hyperkinesia]

It's a beach resort. If there isn't a place like that somewhere around here I'll be sorely disappointed.

I'm already around so whenever you decide to don your flip flops and sunglasses and join me, let me know. We can meet up then.

[squadgoals]

Copy that. I'll ping you when I'm dressed to code.

[squadgoals]

Sending you a location pin now. There will be no disappointment this evening!

[hyperkinesia]

Got it. Will be there shortly. :)
