001 [video]

[A pretty, green-eyed brunette with damp hair is looking into the camera and she doesn't look too happy.]

If you're going to keep me here against my will, the least you could do is provide some better clothing, yeah? A nicer room wouldn't go amiss either.

[Her tone is blunt, accent unmistakably English. You don't want to mess with this lady.]

Suppose it would be impossible to get a decent drink. [A beat.] Or a hair dryer.

On another note, whomever brought me here is paying for the removal of the tattoo on my arm. I'm not joking about that either.

[The feed ends.]

Comments

[unwaveringloyalty]

Much of that is not possible.

[ What is being friendly and welcoming? ]

There are drinks.

[onsilksheets]

Yeah, someone already informed me. So you're a little late.

[Apparently Bela doesn't know the meaning of that.]

[unwaveringloyalty]

I was occupied elsewhere prior to this. [ Security fiddlings, or attempting to ]

[onsilksheets]

Occupied with what exactly?

[unwaveringloyalty]

The functioning of the ship.

[onsilksheets]

You're a mechanic of some sort or just bored?

[unwaveringloyalty]

I have been looking into the security.

[onsilksheets]

Hm, well I suppose that is a useful way to spend your time.

[unwaveringloyalty]

It has proven necessary.

[onsilksheets]

Is this ship dangerous?

[unwaveringloyalty]

There have been circumstances of a concerning nature.

[onsilksheets]

That really doesn't give me much to go on you know.

[unwaveringloyalty]

We know little of the circumstances.

[onsilksheets]

Then what can you tell me that's useful?

[unwaveringloyalty]

Many of the ship systems are inaccessible. There are areas that we are also unable to go to - or warned away from.

[onsilksheets]

Of course it wouldn't be easy going here. But at least I know a little bit more than I did when I first arrived. So thanks.

[unwaveringloyalty]

Many do not realise that. You are welcome.

[onsilksheets]

I'm Bela by the way. Who are you?

[unwaveringloyalty]

Kristeva.

[onsilksheets]

Good to meet you.

[unwaveringloyalty]

[ Paaause. What is pleasantries ] And yourself.

[onsilksheets]

Anything else I should know or is that it for now?

[unwaveringloyalty]

[ Pause. Again ] Do you have any questions?

[onsilksheets]

Nope. I don't have any other questions.

[unwaveringloyalty]

Then you should familiarise yourself with locations on Tranquility.
