hey is this bellamy? it's eggsy unwin i met a bellamy in the vr well not met so much as thought i knew one pretty well not a common name so figured i'd check if it was you
[ or if he just had an imaginary coworker/friend(?), which would be a new level of SAD. ]
[Bellamy has been assuming that everything he saw in the vr was a hallucination, largely because of Clarke, so he has a major what the fuck moment at Eggsy's text.
fucking hell are you taking the piss?? no i have not bellamy bells i am strictly earth and by that i mean basically just south london holy fuck are you like a spaceman??
It's a long story. My version of Earth was destroyed by nukes a hundred years ago. The Ark was never meant to keep as many people alive for as long as it did, and the life support systems were failing. We were running out of oxygen. They sent a hundred of us down to see if Earth was habitable again.
[ he thinks of his own sister and how he'd do anything for her. yes, he thinks, even without full knowledge of the situation or the gravity of the decision, i'd do that, too. and he would. ]
[ how does a spaceman know earth history better than him... he feels a little self-conscious, but he knows Bellamy isn't like Charlie or Digby (not wont to give him shit about his lack of education, being a poor performer after primary school and finally a dropout). ]
gotta admit i don't know a lot about history snuck into titus andronicus once tho sounds like a badass name if it's anything like that

I was born on a space station called the Ark.
Didn't get to the ground until a year ago.

You know that constant machine hum? That being gone was the first thing I noticed.
