[ Amidst the impressive technological marvels and distractions present on the ship, Johnny found it impossible to resist the allure of commandeering the network for a brief moment. While he's no deckhead or with a fancy BD strapped to his head, Johnny at least knows how to work a camera. This is why everyone is getting a good view of the scowling rockerboy as he puffs smoke directly into the camera.

Yeah, he's smoking again already. Don't ask how he got his hands on another e-cigarette. It probably involved a five-finger discount and a lot of schmoozing. Despite being such a complete asshole, Johnny is at least charming.

He's a charming little parasite. ]

Okay, chucklefucks. [ He mutters before taking another drag on his cigarette. Smoke billows from his nose as he exhales, resembling an angry demon/oni graphic on his tank top. ] Let's have a little talk.

Where the fuck are all of you from? Half of y'all look like your average Joe, while others look like wannabe supermodels who just walked off a Jinguji photoshoot.

[ Johnny lets out a chuckle as he brushes some ash off his cigarette. ]

So, who wants to go first? State your name and where the hell you're from.

As the one starting the discussion, should you not be the first volunteer? Leading by example and all that.

[Sunday's curious, though - a survey like this would be interesting to see the results of. What kind of patterns are there to be found, etc. He doesn't mind participating either, exactly.

It's just, starting off with an attitude like this rubs him the wrong way.]

[ A new challenger has appeared! Too bad they're about to get sassed by a Night City legend. ]

Lead by example, huh? Well, fuck it—I'll go first.

[ Oof. This rockerboy has a way with words. ]

Johnny Silverhand. I'm a rock legend from Night City and once was a part of a famous band called SAMURAI. I'm also the choom who nuked Arasaka Tower back in the day, so yeah. I've got a lot going on.

You probably heard of me if you're from Earth but seeing how we have a wild variation of freaks and aliens onboard, I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't.

[ Truly a way with words, indeed. ]

It does sound like you've had quite the busy life, Mr. Silverhand, but no, I haven't heard of you or your band. My name is Sunday, and I am from Penacony in the Asdana system. One of the 'wild variations of freaks and aliens,' as you so charmingly put it, at least from your perspective

Wait, you're an alien? Really?

You mean I'm texting with E.T. right now? No bullshit?

[ Huh. This feels rather underwhelming for him, and Johnny isn't too sure why. ]

Okay, so what makes you an alien? You seem...really human-like judging from the text.

[ Maybe a little bit of semantic bullshit. As a treat. Because he definitely rolls his eyes before formulating something a bit more polite than what he actually wants to say. ]

I imagine that's because I am human. But I am not from Earth, nor am I the same species as you, unless you've found a way to hack these devices and doctor your earlier video footage

[ Which seems... highly unlikely in this scenario ]

To more directly answer the intent of your question, however:

[ Sunday attaches a picture of himself in the library, angled to give a decent view of the feathery wings protruding from behind his ears and the halo just kinda floating there behind his head; the angle of the light from a nearby lamp or screen has caught his pupils such that they reflect a dark blue in a way not dissimilar from many birds, dogs, and other animals that retain their tapetum lucidum. ]
