[It's been long enough since the grav couches evacuated that she's confident that she can put something like this out. She clears her throat after the camera clicks on before she starts to speak. She's nowhere near as groggy as everyone else, she guesses.]

[The video's unencrypted -- for the most part.]

Hopefully everyone's still with us. If anyone's noticed someone missing, I think we ought to let Ward and Resnik know.

That -- wasn't any less pleasant the second time.

[Not that she's surprised.]

[Standard Normandy-basic encryption (used on the Normandy itself), 85%:] Kasumi? Garrus? This seemed like the easiest way to get to the two of you without having to make encryptions with ping-flags. Let me know if you're both all right. [/Normandy]

[Any of the Normandy-encrypted stuff can be seen by other crew members from the ship - ie, Mordin and Joker - so feel free to jump in here!]

Second time? How long has this shit been going on?

--Joker?

I've -- Kasumi and Garrus and I -- have been here about a month.

No shit?

Cause yesterday you were all on the ship. Just sayin'. I think I would have noticed if any of you vanished to .. wherever this place is for a month.

[Tali actually looks relieved.]

Then I guess we can be sure this place stops time wherever we're pulled from.

Or I've been in a gel coma for a month, one or the other.

Tali'Zorah? Other members of Normandy crew present? Events occurred before? Suggests awareness of location. Arrival here also involuntary? [Mordin starts to pace as he thinks.] Obviously ship. Not Normandy, structure unfamiliar. Pods similar to collector technology. Ship does not appear of collector origin. Hm.

[Well, isn't this a grand surprise.]

Professor Solus. This is -- well, fortunate. There hasn't been anyone here familiar with alien physiology.

As far as this place, though ... no, we aren't on a Collector ship, but we were brought here involuntarily.

No medics on staff? Would assume at least simple knowledge of physiology. Poor planning otherwise. Dangerous to assume non-humans will not be injured. Happy to be of service however.

[Not that he's complaining, just confused how a ship in space manages to have no knowledge of alien biology. If it had been a species oriented ship, maybe, but there are obviously aliens here.]

How? By whom? For what purpose? Mentioned a Ward and Resnik, responsible?

Video; Normandy encrypt, 85%

[gofortheoptics]

Medics on staff, but -- human medics. Some of the people here are from a time before space travel.

[She pauses.]

The majority, I would say.

I don't know the answers to those things, as much as I would like to. Ward and Resnik are the remains of the Tranquility's original crew.

[ Kasumi can actually shed some light on this, so her video feed pops up, and she wiggles her fingers in a wave of hello before continuing: ]

From what I've been able to figure out, there aren't any non-human species in this universe naturally. At least, not sentient ones.

Present and busted up. Already broke my ankle. Got any medigel for me?

[There's a pause as he checks his omni-tool.]

Small supply. Able to help. Location? [Knowing where you are and finding you are two entirely different things.] Would suggest avoiding re-occurrence. Will look into obtaining more. May need replication. In that case, will take longer.

I've gotten to my rooms and set myself up here for now. I'm in 002-150.

[ Kasumi has retreated back to her room and looks none the worse for her rude wake-up. ]

Still queasy but in one piece.

[gofortheoptics]

Good. I'm sure you've seen that we're a -- growing group.

Video | Normandy encrypt 85%;

[goingsilent]

We've almost doubled in size. If we keep this up, maybe we can ask for our own wing of rooms.

[ Kasumi's mouth twists in a way that says she hopes that doesn't actually happen. ]

[She can't even laugh at that. She doesn't want it either.]

It'll be nice to have some more familiar faces, though.

I think it's safe to let the rest of us know, too.

[mostly because Jim knows a certain first officer who is keeping track.]

[gofortheoptics]

Well, yes.

[goldshirt]

Glad to see you're alright. I didn't see you in all the chaos.

Video;

[gofortheoptics]

I was around. You made it over too, I see.

Good.

[sermonize]

Did you believe it would be enjoyable the second go?

Video;

[gofortheoptics]

I was hoping I'd be returned, actually.

[sermonize]

Do you think that the potential missing persons could have been sent back?

Video;

[gofortheoptics]

I hope so. The alternative is significantly less pleasant.
