[i]"I bid you all a very fond farewell...."[/i]

The song that Tartys had sung faded away in the wind, lyrics and notes left to hang in the minds of those who had gathered to listen to her. Tartys herself let out a breath that she hadn't realized she had been holding during the course of her performance, and she let the guitar dip as her head bowed. It was a simple song, all told, and it did not match some of the performances that she had heard in Heaven, but it soothed her in a way that little else could match. 

The voice in her ear brought her back to reality, and she let a smile grace her lips as she turned to look at Torag, who had come in at some point and was seated next to her. "You honor me," she replied with an accepting nod as he praised her performance. With his hesitance in speaking it seemed that her song had had some resonance, and that was all she could hope for.

Music might be a hobby of sorts, but it did not remain the focus for the entire conversation as it turned towards what had happened in Alt Signia, even if her contributions had not been as spectacular as those of their 'ally' in that fight. "We all did the best that we could. I merely wish that I could have been of more use in the fight. Perhaps things would have gone differently." In the grand scheme of the Nexus it might not matter that much, but she could nonetheless hope for that far off day when they had victory at last.

Tatiana had to imagine that she made quite the sight right now, but she didn't really care about that fact. This food was delicious, like she had never eaten anything better. And, well, this body hadn't eaten any actual food before. 

"Yeah," she confirmed with a momentary pause as she glanced up at Bastion. "Vat grown clone bodies hooked up to the mainframe so they can download stored neural nets when you die. Not the most pleasant experience, but it's better than being dead." She shrugged then, stabbing some food with her fork. "It's a lot better than whatever liquid nutrient junk they give the replacement bodies while they're in storage."

She'd prefer to not think about that if she could help it, if only because that made it easier for everyone concerned. She didn't want to dwell on mortality, especially with how much of a joke that was in the Nexus. Right now she just needed to focus on recovering, and preparing for the next fight when it came. 

At that point she got her distraction, with Marquis arriving and sitting down nearby before praising them for their work in the battle. "Thanks sir," she replied with another pause from eating. "Glad it was worth it." She couldn't attest to how important their infiltration mission had ultimately ended up being, but at least they came out on top. 

In the meanwhile a notification popped up on her comm unit, indicating that she had received a message. It looked like the same thing had been received by Bastion, which was a bit more of a surprise. Not a big one, but she figured they wouldn't be spending much time together given the secretive stuff that Bastion had been doing in the previous mission. Well, she wasn't about to complain otherwise as she stopped eating to take a sip of her drink. "Sounds good to me," Tatiana agreed after checking her message. This would be enough to tide her over for a good while.

Once she had finished the last bit of what she was eating she rose from her seat and deposited the tray in one of the recyclers, before turning back to face her companion. "Alright, let's go." She was ready to live a bit.
