It is starting to dawn on Adia that this might not be the Nexus she remembers.
It is the first time in months that she has been able to leave New Caprica without risking awareness from either the Cylons or her fellow humans. She has never told anyone about the strange, wonderful place she stumbled upon, nor does she plan to. It won't be much help to the colonists, and it'd be a dangerous weapon in the hands of the Cylons.
But in the short time she has been sitting on a stone bench, reading an old paperback, she hasn't seen a single familiar face. And come to think of it, none of the landmarks look the same to her, either. True, the Nexus is always changing, but shouldn't she recognize at least some of it?
Curious, and a little nervous, she gets up and brushes off her dusty but serviceable coat, then walks over to a convenient Nexus computer terminal. That hasn't changed, at least.
How do you go about finding someone that you used to know? When is it not worth the risk to try and find them?
There is no giant blinking neon sign in her line of sight instructing her to ask a question, but she hopes someone answers anyway.
((ooc: Hey everybody, Adia is an OC from Battlestar Galactica, her timeline currently in the beginning of Season Three. I used to RP her at dear_multiverse on Livejournal, hence all the "not the same Nexus" references. She's a human with no special powers. Have fun!))

Adia winces and unconsciously rubs her jaw. Was it painful to get them modded?
She notices the pause in the texting, and even when Shark finally replies, all those line breaks are impossible to ignore. She stares at his words for a while, suddenly feeling quite a bit of empathy for him. It must be hard for others to see you as your own person if you're not even supposed to have your own name.
That's their loss. You're more than the sum of your genes.
The Cylons don't typically have names, either. They usually refer to themselves by their model number.

There's another pause as he considers the oddly earnest and friendly condolences. The sincerity of reassuring someone they're greater than the sum of their genes, which is hugely against Protostar company policy. Seriously, it's in the training manual. He glances up at Neirin again, who he's surprised to find is already watching him.
"You look a little wigged out, boss." The waitress is just leaving their table, the mordesh likely having put in for another round.
"She's saying shit about, like. People being more than the sum of their genes. Stuff like that." He scratches one long ear, feeling immediately self-conscious. Neirin smiles kindly.
"Aw, boss, I'm saying the exact same thing all the time. You're great." Rather than answer, Shark just starts typing again.
We got serials too but that's just for like IDing bodies or if someone gets mixed up cuz a guy got his brains scrambled and forgot his station?? Otherwise we're just our job titles. Which are a big deal!! I'm basically a huge deal cuz I'm in legal. Super important. Lots of money sunk into templating me.
There any cylons in the Nexus? They might know your guy??
no subject
The pause worries her. Did she say something wrong? But his reply seems normal enough -- for him, anyway. I'm sure you are. You must be kept busy at such a huge company.
I've never seen a Cylon in the Nexus, and I hope to Zeus that there aren't any. You know how I said that there are different models? Some are far less charitable to humans than others. I'd be okay if I ran into a Six or an Eight, but a One would probably try to steal my PINpoint. They're really mean.

He starts to add something re: the eating being fine, especially when it comes to "eating pussy haha". But then he pauses...and for once in his short life decides to be decent and deletes it.
Can you even tell a cylon on sight or do they just look like humans. Maybe my guy can keep an eye out for any. Shake some info outta him. Or her? Are there women cylons?? That must be weird af.
no subject
Adia would be touched that Shark bothered to censor himself. But then she'd know what Shark was planning to type... better that it's all left unknown.
There are seven different models that look human. Once each model was discovered, the information got passed along to the entire fleet. Caspar's model was the first to be discovered. I could tell your assistant what they look like, if you think that would help. I have their image data somewhere, but I'd need to get it onto a flash drive first.
There are three models that are women. Why would that be weird?
no subject
Girl clones just are weird cuz like. DO THEY BREED??? And also cuz there's no such thing as a female clone on my end. Just not a thing. Probably deemed distracting or something if there were? Also it wouldn't be Phineas' genes anymore if they were chicks.
Hey speaking of pics
A little notice pops up, inviting Adia to accept an .img transfer. And once she gets it, boop. There's a selfie with appropriately trashy bar lighting.
sup its me
Did you draw that?! That's awesome! :)
Oh, I see what you mean. Each model is just a clone of itself, and I don't think the female clones and male clones are related genetically. He'll understand it better once he sees a picture of them and how different they all look from one another.
Speaking of pictures, she stares at the one Shark sends for a long time. Yep, that's definitely an alien. And those are definitely shark teeth. That's a nice suit. I have definitely never met anyone who looks like you before.
I did! A rush job but a picture felt better than a desc. THANK YOU
I'd snap a pic of Neirin too but the fool's in the bathroom taking a leak. Like I said if you see a big blue guy with metal tubes for hair, that's him.
If you catch us in person before you get ahold of those pics of cylons or whatever just pass em on to us then. Were pretty good at getting info out of people. >:)
Very cool. :)
It's okay, you gave a very good description of him.
I think if anyone could get a straight answer out of a Cylon, it would be you. Just be careful, okay? Some of them are ruthless.
