[about four or so hours after the infiltration of the Mothership mission begins, a message appears on the network. it's in text, mostly because. . . uh. talking into one's magitek about an undercover mission while surrounded by enemy agents is probably not wise]

So has anyone come up with a code name for themselves yet?

[. . . yep. . .]

An undercover spy mission seems like a good chance for just that. Think about it-- you can finally be the person you've always wanted to be with the name you've always wanted to have. Viking. Sapphire. Velociraptor. I think the possibilities are pretty endless.

[THAT SAID]

Though it'd probably be nice to meet all of you without the mask of a code name, first. I keep running into people I don't know, and I can't tell who is an ally and who isn't.

[. . .]

I call dibs on the name 002.

[a very serious post during a very serious mission? also? help the new guy out by introducing yourself so he can stop freaking out every time he runs into someone new!!]

If you insist. Although you probably wouldn't want to go for all out enemies with someone you're supposed to be working alongside of.

[purrtagonist]

Rivals it is, then.
The kind whose goals align more often than not.

[ofobedience]

We'll see, I suppose.

[purrtagonist]

That sounds about right.

By the way.
And this might be a weird question, but.
How can I recognize you if I happen to see you in the ship hallways?

[ofobedience]

Let me see. I'm blond, around five feet seven inches tall, and I'll be wearing orange sunglasses. I've been told that my accent is noticeably Germanic.

[purrtagonist]

Orange, huh.
Favorite color?
Or just a fashion statement?

[ofobedience]

[He's never given much consideration to things like favourite colour, but--]

I like them. That's all, really.

[Plus, they're good for concealing one's eyes and, therefore, one's emotions. For better providing a blank and impassive facade.]

[purrtagonist]

That's a good enough reason for anything, honestly.

[ofobedience]

I'll say.

And how should I recognise you, if I happen to come across you?

[purrtagonist]

My hair is green.

[. . . there's a pause, before he sends another message]

Just kidding.
I'm the completely average looking guy with glasses.
You'll definitely miss me if you see me in a crowd.

[ofobedience]

Helpful.

[purrtagonist]

I do try.

[ofobedience]

Well. I'd say see you around, but it seems as though I won't notice.

[purrtagonist]

I'm sure we'll have the chance to meet without the veil of a crowd concealing my presence eventually.

[ofobedience]

No doubt.
