Sorry it's short, I've had absolutely zero time to write anything and I figured I should just get an update out.

"So, Jade is it?" said Dan, sitting on a pile of stuffed toys.

"Yeah!" said Jade, sitting on her bed.

"Name's Dan. Dan Kataiser. Where the hell are we? And I really need a piss, where's your bathroom?" Dan checked the pistol he stole from a mutilated human soldier.

"I don't have one..."

"Then how do you...Don't answer that. Anyway, where's Iji?"

"Iji? Who's that?"

"My sister, I saw her teleport and now she's somewhere around here I think..."

"Oh...I haven't seen her anywhere around..." Jade looked down at her shoes.

"Also it's really cold around here, you got a jacket?"

"Not any that could fit you or not look stupid on you...Also what's with your leg?" Jade pointed at Dan's shirt wrapped around his leg.

"I got shot by a Tasen soldier. This hurts like a bitch."

"What's a Tasen?" Jade looked both concerned and confused.

"Aliens. Bastards. Destroyed Earth's biosphere with a giant, coordinated Alpha Strike six months ago. Killed my father and my younger sister. They need to die, every single one of them."

"But Earth wasn't...Earth was destroyed by meteorites...Today."

"What? What day is it?"

"April 13, 2009."

"You're lying."

"No, it's true. Look at the calendar."

"Okay, this is a funny joke, now tell me the damn truth."

"I'm not joking!" Jade cried out in protest. "You're being a real asshole!"

"Look, I'm sorry." Dan looked at his wound. "I've just had no one to talk to for six months which wasn't about my sister gatting turned into a damn cyborg soldier and I know her. She's not a violent person, she faints at the sight of blood and...I saw her crying when she killed some Tasen soldier."

"Dan..."

"The worst part is that it was the only option. They couldn't turn me since my body wouldn't have taken the extensive upgrades...I would prefer that I was turned rather than her..."

"Are you okay?" Jade reached over to Dan.

"...Yeah...Let's go..." Dan cocked his pistol. "What do we have to do now Jade?"

"I'm waiting for Dave to contact me."

"Right...You got a empty bottle anywhere?"

"Yeah..." Jade threw Dan a large plastic bottle. "Make sure it doesn't overflow."

"Sure." Dan walked out the bedroom and into a small closet.

Jade jumped up from her bed and opened her Lunchtop. She noticed a message from John.

EB: jade! are you there?

GG: hey! :D

GG: i found a survivor!

EB: holy shit, really?

EB: i'll tell dave and rose right now!

EB: wait, vriska's messaging me.

GG: okay.

EB: there's a girl called iji at the other end. she needs to talk to "dan."

GG: that's the guy!

GG: i'll get him now!

Jade messaged Iji.

GG: hello?

AG: Dan?

GG: no im jade.

GG: nice to meet you! :D

AG: Can you get Dan?

GG: okay!

GG: sis? Iji?

AG: Dan? Where are you?

GG: i'm with Jade. i saw you disappear and when i couldn't find you anywhere in the building i made a run for the same teleporter. when i appeared though it was in this girl's house.

GG: she said that the world ended.

AG: Same here. I think that something very strange has happened. I'm with a bunch of aliens!

GG: Tasen?

AG: No, they're called trolls. They seem friendly enough.

GG: i wouldn't trust an alien as far as i throw one. they all seem to be trouble.

AG: Okay...Listen Dan, what should I do now?

GG: i guess that you should try not to die i guess. if these aliens are friendly enough then i guess you can trust them...

AG: Will you be okay with Jade?

GG: yes. i stole a pistol from a dead body just in case. Jade has a sniper rifle and we're set for ammo. if anything happens i think she can take care of it.

AG: That's good. I'll talk to you later Dan.

GG: okay. keep safe Iji.

AG: You too Dan.

Dan looked at Jade and smiled.

"She's alive!"

"Hello..." said the man in red and blue glasses. He had two pairs of tiny horns.
"Hey!" said the girl wearing goggles with normal horns.
"Hey there..." said Iji. "Who are you?"
"Sollxth Captor."
"Feferi."
"Okay...Listen I heard from that shouty guy that you're the main computer guy around here...Can you help me?"
"With what?" Sollux adjusted his glasses.
"With that whole chat account thing you have...I need one to keep contact with Dan."
"Who? Whatever, I'll help ya." Sollux led Iji to an unused terminal. "You ever useth one of these in your life?"
"Sure." said Iji. "I crack these things all the time."

Sollux looked jealously at Iji, then sat the terminal brought up the chat program. He clicked on the New Account button. He clicked through various warnings and notices and arrived at a form sheet.

"Fill in the boxes with your name, age, E-mail addressth and what you wanth your handle to be. That should do ith." Sollux got up from the chair and Iji sat down. She entered her full name, her age, E-mail address and then chose a handle that Dan would recognise: NanoPacifist.

She then clicked the Create Account button and was logged in. She messaged Jade.

NP: Jade?
GG: iji?
NP: Can you help Dan create an account so we can keep constant contact? It's quite important.
GG: sure! ill call him now. hes admiring my grandfathers old collection of rifles
NP: Sounds dangerous for a young girl.
GG: im 13!
GG: and i know how to shoot a gun! i just don't like fighting
NP: Me too Jade...
NP: I didn't ask for this.
GG: i know. dan told me
GG: but you were the only person who was able to get upgraded...
NP: I know.
NP: While I was in that facility, I was determined to stop the Tasen.
NP: I wasn't afraid to kill...I just didn't want to. I feared what I would become.
GG: makes sense. maybe you should talk to rose about this...
GG: shes the smart one out of all of us
GG: ill get her now.

Iji flicked her long hair from her eyes. She looked over at Sollux and Feferi who were talking about what happened to Alternia. In many ways Iji sympathised and felt sorry for her hosts. They're only thirteen and they've seen the entire destruction of their home planet. At least she was older when Earth got destroyed.
