Winona cocked her head slightly, intrigued. EMily thanked her interviewee and went over to where Winona was.
<color=green>That sounds totally ludicrous but it's the best we've got. "Huh... did your friend see a channel number displayed or anything on the TV?"

"No, there was nothing like that. She said it just turned on, the screen was yellow-green and kind of static-y, and there was a silhouette in the middle of the screen." the bystander explained, as Joel walked over.
"Yeah, that is a bit strange." the person said. When no other questions for him came, he turned and walked off.
[color=003399]"What did you find out?"[/color] Joel asked.
[color=003399]"What did you find out?"[/color] Joel asked.
<color=green>"Well there are a few things. It seems to be that at midnight, when its raining, if you have a TV that's turned off, you'll see your soulmate on the TV screen. The person I talked to had a friend that saw a silhouette."
"So, the dating program wasn't anything real? And Joel's soulmate is Samus?"
<color=green>"The dating program and the soulmate business may not be, but it's coming from somewhere. I say we try and replicate the results."

Gwen shook her head and went downtown anyway to see if she could find any police stations to report a missing person.

Gwen would find a police station.

"Oh, a soulmate is a silly term for your destined one to fall in love with you. If we try and replicate the results, maybe we can trace the true signal that's being sent."

Gwen entered the police station and walked up to the front desk to speak with whoever was there.
<color=purple>"Excuse me? Could I put out a search for a friend of mine? She's been missing since last night."

"Do you have a photo of your friend, and any information about where your friend normally visits?" the officer asked, typing something on his computer.

When returning back down to Earth, after your short visit to the rather underwhelming space station orbiting the planet, you are targeted by a squadron of fighter jets. They do not open fire, but inform you that they are going to escort you to a secret location. You do not fancy your chances against them, as they all seem to be armed with highly advanced missile systems, so you decide to simply cooperate for now. After a few hours, you reach a well-hidden base in central Europe and slowly descend down the hangar pit there.
When you step out of your ship, you are greeted by an officer in a military green jumper and four soldiers in teal body armour. The soldiers carry rather large rifles, which are nonchalantly aimed in your general direction. You eye them cautiously, but the officer doesn't seem to notice. He introduces himself as Central Officer Bradford, and that he belongs to an organization called XCOM. "Our mission is to deal with extraterrestrial activity.", he says, "And we have a job for you, if you want it." He goes on to say that they have tracked your ship for several days, and that they have noticed how quick it is. "We want you to help us react to crises across the globe, by providing air support and quickly getting troops where they are needed. We'll pay you well, and keep your ship in tip-top shape as well. So, what do you say?"
You accept his proposal, but ask that they kindly not aim any more guns at you. He laughs and waves the soldiers away, then invites you to follow him. He explains the details of the job and the facility, you are impressed not more of it is visible from the surface. You also get to meet the leader of the research team and the engineering team, who are very interested with how you got here and your technology. You promise them to give you the data you have on the ship and its weaponry, at which they both light up. After the long day is over, you are given a bed in the barracks. You talk and play cards with the soldiers until late in the evening, and you sleep well that night.

Roland considered following Joel and the Mason sisters to look for Samus, but figured that the four of them were capable enough. He thought about other members of the Tet, and realized that Vicky had been missing for some time as well. Remembering that she was still recovering from her injuries, he immediately set out to search for her, although with very little to go on he decided to search the city, searching block by block and asking anyone standing around if they have seen her.
Alain took about an hour to fully wake up and get some food. After he was done, he decided to help the others look for Samus, but ended up aimlessly wandering the city since Joel and the Mason sisters had already left. Around this time he would be near the police station, but oblivious to anyone inside.

Seras encouraged Faro to get out of the ship, once he was clothed, and to walk around with her. They did so, walking around the streets and hoping the group wouldn't suddenly take off without them.
It's probably better this way. That imbicile would not know anything of value. Caius thought as Eric left without answering his question, a small scowl on his face.
Once Yeul finished a brief conversation with Alain, she turned to Caius. "What would we do, now?"
"There is little we could do," Caius answered, turning around and looking down to face Yeul. "With no means to leave this world in sight, however, it would be prudent to acquire a sum of the local currency so we would not need to be dependant on these people too much. If we are to stay in this place speciffically, finding water-proof clothing for you would be a first step."
"You are thinking of leaving, then?" Yeul asked as she began to walk down the hallway.
"...No. At least, not in the nearby future. But I do not wish to remain dependant on others for even the simplest of things."

Gwen displayed a holographic photo of Vicky from Graviton.
<color=purple>"She has these cat ears that she likes to put on, as well as a tiger tail. She also has some metallic prosthetics on her." She said, trying not to make an unconvincing story.
<color=purple>"As for where she likes to hang out. Search in any place where people might want to live secluded from anyone else. She always said she'd rather be left alone. She left our abode last night, and didn't come back."

"As for a TV we could use, we could use the auto-mail shop's TV. Or find an electronics store and buy one."

Hearing someone coming from down the hallway, Sophia turned to see Yeul and Caius coming in her direction. "Hey you two." She said as a small greeting accompanied with a wave, approaching them. "Hey, did I miss something..?" Sophia looked around, half expecting someone to jump out and say surprise. "Or has it gotten really quiet around here. Where'd everyone go?"
"Oh, hello... Sophia." Yeul responded to Sophia's greeting, taking a moment to remember Sophia's name. She lightly bowed her head a little in return to Sophia waving.
"Most of everyone has left in order to look for Samus, who has appeared on telivision after having not be seen or heard from for what has at least been a day." Caius explained.

"Right. And does she have any medical conditions?"

[color=003399]"Hmm... well, we can't all use the same TV. What if it doesn't work for multiple people?"[/color] Joel replied.

Seras would start to feel light-headed, and a man's voice rang out in her head.
I am thou... Thou art I... From the sea of thy soul, I come... Thou art the one who opens the door.
As the voice spoke, Seras would feel herself lose her balance and topple towards the TV. Rather than hit it, however, she would fall through the screen, as though it were liquid. Black and white ripples spread out from where she entered.
