You took the words right out of my mouth.

It is gonna be a rough winter if we are already hitting forty below.

I'm so fucking sick of this place.

And you’ve never known anywhere else, have you?

You were born here, in a way. And your birthday is coming up, isn’t it? In a way?

Oh hell no. That is the kind of weather that makes my joints freeze up and my circuits slow.

Yeah. Lived here all this life, and the other one isn't really mine.

Yeah, it's fucking terrible. Typical Antarctica weather.

That’s gotta be trippy...to have memories of places you have never been.

Yeah. Joys, traumas and beliefs that aren't really mine, too. Being able to look at the same events as your past and as completely apart from you . . . fuck, it's a bit like being on LSD without the pretty patterns.

Lovely weather, though a bit more intense then I am used to.

On Earth still? Classic. Never been myself. Your description makes me a little less inclined to want to visit the place.

Unless...you need a lift outta there?

More than a bit intense, I'd say, but then I'm not a huge fan of freezing solid.

I don't need one, but I wouldn't mind a visit to the stars.

Yeah, nothing permanent. Just you know...a vacation.

I know a couple of swanky resort worlds we could hit up. Planets with rings and green skies-classy stuff. And ah...I know a few places where we might be able to get you a bite, too.

What a lovely spring day here in the lovely Outpost 31. I’m so over this place, man.

No, most mortal beings are not.

I can’t blame you for that.

You’d know more about that than me. Either old or new you.

Gotta be interesting, though. To examine your experiences from an outside perspective.

Join the fucking club. I have to go out regularly and make sure the goddamn helicopters are still functional. Admittedly that gets me outside at least, you must be bored silly with the radio.

What are you, then?

Well now I'm really interested.

It's definitely interesting. Admittedly my morals are just copied from the old me, so I still agree with most of the things he did. I did? Fuck, English isn't made for this.

Let’s go with “you did” for simplicity’s sake, shall we?

And no, it sure isn’t.

Well, I definitely don’t miss that. I came close to freezing solid a few times. Thank goodness for Snowball...and those penguins.

An elemental. I believe you would call me an ice fae in your tongue. I rarely get to speak at length with humans, so it is difficult to keep up with the vernacular of the times.

Yeah.

At least your gig has you getting fresh air and sunshine. It is better than nothing but then it is 40 below.

So at least I can have pocket warmers but...yeah it gets prettt boring in there...especially when the weather knocks out the radio.

What unfortunate planet are you on?

My Zerg limbs are getting clammy just thinking about that level of cold.

[Yes, his Zerg half could withstand it...could heal his human half...but that did not mean it would be pleasant.]
