[The feed comes on, but at first, everything's dark.]
The hell is this?
[Then there's a shot of Ellis's gray eye, and then it pans back out to his face. He's covered in a layer of dirt and various bodily fluids, and beyond that, he's tired and bruised in a few places. The stone ceiling of his barracks room can be seen in the background, and Ellis looks quite perplexed.]
Hello? Anybody out there? This funny little book's talkin' about worlds bein' unmade and records bein' kept and whatnot, but it ain't makin' much sense.
Like, how'm I here if everythin's not made anymore? And hell, you can't unmake shit! My friend Keith tried to unmake a car once, cause he thought it was haunted, but all he got was a broken car and a face full'a burnin' oil. He quit messin' with it after that, mostly 'cause he went blind for like six months. Don't know if it was really haunted or nothin', but I guess anything can happen, after the zombies an' shit...
[Ellis just trails off, then looks around the room. With his free hand, he rubs the space between his shoulder and neck and winces. Getting pounded into the ground by a charger sucks, and he's still aching.
Then, he turns back to the camera and smiles, though it's a little uneasy.]
So, hey, m'name's Ellis. I'm lookin' for Nick, Rochelle, and Coach, if any y'all out there.
[And they had to be, didn't they?]

Man. An alien from the future. This's some time travelin', Back to the Future, E.T., twenty-twelve kinda shit, innit?
[video]
... Uh. What?
[video]
[voice]
Billions. It's a big galaxy. Lots of space to take up. Literally.
[Haha Garrus you're a riot.]
[video]
Yeah, yeah, them two.
[voice]
Asari... [He trails off. Asari are harder to describe.] Well. Humans always say they're beautiful. Usually blue. Sometimes purple.
[video]
[Ellis looks down, still grinning.]
Man, I wish I'd still be alive when we discover all y'all, that'd be cool as hell. This is pretty awesome, can't lie, but ain't the same as bein' home or somethin'.

[video]
Y'all didn't... I mean...
Y'didn't... probe us or nothin', did you?
[video]
What the hell would anyone want to probe a human for?
[video]
[Poor boy's such an Earth-centrist.]
[video]
[TO HIM, ANYWAY.]

[...]
Oh, shit, you're right!
[video]
Yeah, I tend to do that sometimes. Be right, I mean.
