[The video turns on to a rather up close view of someone's face.]

Is it on? How do I tell if it's... Oh, no, I think I got it!

[She brings the camera away to reveal more than just her nose, then. She's sitting on the bed with a nervous grin, trying not to show just how frightened she is about being here.]

Hi! Um, my name's Ahiru, and I just got here a little while ago. I still don't understand everything about this place, but I wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped me when I first showed up. My head feels a lot better!

[She giggles before continuing on, though it's halfhearted.]

Um, anyways, I know we haven't found a way out yet, but I want to help in any way I can. So, if anybody has an idea on what I could do to be able to get us all home faster, I'd be really grateful. I'm not very good at very many things, but Miles said I might be able to help take care of some of the little kids here, reading to them and stuff.

B-But, if there's anything more important I could do, I'd definitely be willing! I mean, I have to go home soon, it's really more important than anything else to me, so I would do almost anything if it meant there was a chance we could leave faster, because this place really isn't where I need to be, and I won't know what to do if—

[And then she gets overexcited, leaning forward so far that she promptly tips off her bed, falling to the ground with a thud. The communicator hits the ground, too, switching off.]

What books can you read?

[ Chase is curious--she's never really had a chance to be a little kid before. And this girl, she's so fresh! Exciting, even. She's cautious and somewhat wary, but the excitement is showing on her face. ]

I think I could probably manage anything they have here! Um, if there are books here, that is.

[the_vishual]

We have a media library, yes.

[video]

[motioned]

A media library? Is that different from a normal library?

[video]

[the_vishual]

It's as the name entails, miss--media, rather than just books.

[video]

[motioned]

What kind of media?

[video]

[the_vishual]

W-well. Some books, some chips... What you'd normally find in a media library.

[video]

[motioned]

We never had a media library back home, though, just a regular library. A chip of what?

[video]

[the_vishual]

Apologies, miss. It's difficult to imagine a world just of paper and books, but--holographic chips. Some for movies, some for educational purposes.

[video]

[motioned]

I don't know what a movie is, either, or a holographic... I'm really sorry if I'm wasting your time!

[video]

[the_vishual]

No--no! No, you're not.

If I find a book for you to read, could you maybe.. Read it to me, then?

[video]

[motioned]

Oh, definitely! I'd really like that, if you would.
