[ She's dealt with plenty of sour and bitter types, Miller - they usually turn out to be her favorites. ]
Don't I know it. [ Her drawl thickens at the sentiment. ] Did you have any problems when we lost gravity?

Me? No.
[ he sounds bemused. he almost wishes they could do that again, it was the most fun he's had yet. he tosses the rest of his drink back even knowing full well he shouldn't. the next words are a bit sluggish as a result. ]
Ceres barely has gravity in the center, away from the rings, sasa ke. It's set up a lot like this place, just bigger and meaner. It was fun watching you Earthers lose your mind over it though. [ he points at her with a soft smile, giving himself a rest before he refills the glass. ]

[ She can make out the gesture enough to recognize it for what it is, and the alcohol has settled in enough to pull back her filter about the Accident. Sorry, Miller. ]
I didn't have the chance to 'lose my mind' about it. Too busy dying and coming back to life blind.
[ Is she a little bitter about it? Maybe. Just a teensy bit. ]

You should do something ridiculous on the network.
Post saying you've been surveying the area and have put together a helpful map with a list of who occupies which room so that each person can be found in event of a crisis, and then post a broken link to an outside document with an invitation for people to check it.
[Ricki's feeling punchy lately.]

I sure as hell hope not. [ It's a flat statement with just the slightest hint of alarm. The idea of anyone having a harder time in life than she has is distressing. ]
I wouldn't wish a life like mine on anyone. And I'm not saying that to get a pity party - crappy situations always tend to get worse when wars come around.

I wouldn't say anything's "special" about me, I just got the unlucky genetic draw. I'm a mutant with a power the government wanted to use against other mutants in a war to wipe out our species.
[ She's not getting into the other stuff, the long laundry list of things in her life that have gone wrong or turned out badly for her. It really will be a pity part if she starts talking about foster care, being abandoned by her time, and everything in between. She might be feeling a bit chatty with her new acquaintance, but she's not that chatty. ]

Perhaps I shall. But I think I'd need to find a way to change my display name on this device.
[His eyebrows lift, and he looks from the communicator to Miller.]
Well, now my possibilities are endless.
Well, now my possibilities are endless.
Most people got caught in that same shit deal in the end, at least in my time. The human race destroyed itself.
[ And the entire planet, for that matter. She can still smell the smoke from cities burning to ash. ]
