Memory Shards

Summary:

A collection of short archived conversations like those you can find lying around the game.

Just like the items in the game, these would refer to different points in the story, some even before the events of the game. Includes plenty about V and other main characters, but also introduces plenty of common NC residents that are just going about their business.

Aligned with the rest of the events in Nightcall series.

[Series considered completed as I try other mediums / formats]

Notes:

I’ve been busy lately, but was thinking about other ways to expand on the story and just write a few things where I have time.

Chapter 1: Archived Conversation - New Acquaintances

Summary:

Shard found in one of the tents of the Aldecaldo camp

Chapter Text

MITCH: So, you gonna tell me anything about your new friend?

PANAM: What new friend? V? Nothing to tell, we are just working together.

MITCH: ‘Just working together’, huh? I must’a missed all the other guys you worked with getting invited over to the camp on their first job

PANAM: That was different! I needed help. Which you didn’t give, may I remind you.

MITCH: Don’t change the subject. Besides, I like the guy. Saved my ass, after all. Think you gonna call him?

PANAM: For a job or like, to hang out?

MITCH: I don’t know, Palmer. Either or? 

PANAM: Sheesh… hadn’t thought about it, okay? Maybe? He is surely capable with a gun, and with tech, and… nevermind.

MITCH: And he ain’t half bad to look at you mean?

PANAM: Oh ease off my private life already! 

MITCH: Okay, okay. Don’t shoot, ma’am, I beg you.

PANAM: I am seriously considering it.

MITCH: Anyway, have you heard from Saul? Thought he was meant to be back by now. 

PANAM: Wait, he ain’t back yet? Damn it! Fucking told him going out with such a small team was dangerous. 

MITCH: You can chew him out over that later. I’ll get the reconnaissance set up. You might want to consider calling that merc of yours after all. 

PANAM: As much as I hate to admit it, I’ve already thought about it.

MITCH: Great. Just don’t get distracted by those piercing blue eyes of his too much.

PANAM: I would seriously shoot you right now, but we need you to fly the drone.

MITCH: Sure, sure. Enough talk, let’s get our stubborn leader out of whatever the shitshow he got himself in now.

PANAM: Whatever it is, he isn’t living it down any time soon.
