[Her phone doesn't work, at least past turning on and telling her there's no reception. She can play Angry Birds all day long if she wanted to, though, which is how Angela spent her first couple of nights in this place, but it's time to be social. This what brings her face on the network feed via the comm device.]

I'm going to accept the fact that I'm--we're all stuck here. Fantastic. [Only not.] I'm going to pretend that instead of a spaceship, this is an airplane taking us to an all expense paid trip to an island full of cabana boys and rum and we're riding in first class. How's that sound?

[Not too good. Not even to her.]

Yeah, I didn't think that would work either. So I guess I might as well introduce myself. My name is Angela Montenegro. I'm from Washington D.C. which is back on Earth. The big round blue thing I'm hoping the Tranquility passes sooner or later. I'm an artist, but I also do some computer work at the Jeffersonian. Have any of you heard of that place? Please say yes so I'm sure I'm not the only person from my world here.

[Sorry, Ange, but you are. Deal with it.]

Is that some sort of non-governmental organization?

It's a museum, actually.

[One person who doesn't belong to her world, check!]

Ah. And you didn't misspeak and mean to say the Smithsonian?

No, I meant the Jeffersonian. I've never heard of the Smithsonian. Sounds like a knock-off to me.

Well, the "Jeffersonian" sounds like a knock-off of the Smithsonian to me.

I'm pretty sure I know where I've worked for the past four years and it's definitely only the Jeffersonian around here. There. Whatever.

And my point is that you cannot simply go around calling the greatest museum in the entire country a "knock-off" merely because you're not familiar with it!

Is your last name Smithsonian?

[Because you sound really upset there, sir. A little too close to home?]

Edgeworth. One can respect the museum without having a personal connection to it.

You seem to be taking it beyond respect into personal insult territory. Might want to dial it back an inch. Maybe three.

Ms. Montenegro, you scoffed at the Smithsonian.

You mean the Smithsonian? [You're probably going to get this a lot, Angela.]

And you can keep that island full of cabana boys.

You scoffed at the Jeffersonian. Do you see me getting offended?

Only to demonstrate to you what you had just done!

No, I don't. [Sigh. Maybe she shouldn't have asked that question.]

Got something against cabana boys, Blake? Fine, let's put in some cabana girls too. I'll take them all.

Wow. Relax a little. You seem really young to have such a high blood pressure problem.

I will have you know that my blood pressure is 100/65, which is perfectly normal!

Never heard of the Jeffersonian. [Shruuuug] Are they related or something?

And I'm not Blake. [>:(]

No. I've never heard of the Smithsonian either.

[She squints at the screen to try and get a better look at this non-Blake guy on the other end.]

But you look just like him... except your hair is shorter. I though he just cut it. Are you two related?

Not right now, it's not.

Oh, are you possessed of some superhuman ability to divine one's blood pressure at all times?

I have the ability to tell when somebody needs to chill out and fast.

No, we're not fucking related. [Whoops, getting snappish there.] He's like, from another dimension or something. [Tommy doesn't really sound all that convinced.]

How do you know him, anyway?

Kindly do not tell me what to do.

[Okay, okay. Jesus. Everybody's wound up here. For probably a good reason. At least Tommy didn't flip over a museum.]

Sorry. He spoke to me when I first got here. That's all.
