[ Well, hey TQ, hope you don't mind this fresh face on the network. She normally sticks to texting because if it looks like a phone and acts like a (kind of sci-fi upgraded) phone, why not use it like one? But she's been going through the other features — slow day on the ship, you know how it is — and after rifling through everything she can easily find on the communicator, she decides to post up a video.

So here's a young, teenaged girl setting the comm in front of her before she sits down cross-legged and twirls a lock of her hair. Alas, it's got less of a bounce than it normally does, but that's what lack of hot rollers on a ship will do. ]

If I write my best essay and promise to stay on my best behavior after, am I allowed to leave Space Detention? I mean, I haven't even gotten to mess around in a library, so this kind of blows.

[ she smiles because she's kind of hoping someone will catch the reference. If not, then well: ] Or are we all waiting for some big, space musical number?

Are there even any boomboxes to hold up outside that red smiley thing's window? If it has one. [ seriously, what is up with that thing. ] Also, I guess it'd have to be this phone thing, since I don't have an iPod anymore.

[ She lets out a very put upon sigh before admitting something you never would have guessed!! clearly!! But it's followed by a smile that's all teeth and too much eyelash batting. ]

Okay, so I'm bored. And I can't really miss anyone who left, since I just got here. [ not even touching whatever's up with the masks. ] You'd think the aliens would be able to hook us up with better movie selections or something.

I don't suppose there's someone on here with something entertaining to do?

You're only human.

[ SHE ASSUMES. ]

I don't know about where you come from, but where I come from, humanity can be capable of really great, and really terrible things. There's nothing only about being human.

Ok, but do you really think the people here are capable of whatever's going on here? I mean, we're all brought here without knowing how or why, right?

I think the people here are capable of a lot more than most of them probably think.

What about you? What are you capable of?

I'm still figuring that out.

Maybe you'd better figure it out faster.

Is that an order? [He looks more amused than anything.]

It's a concerned comment. [ small shrug ]

Concerned for what? I imagine it takes most of us a good long time to know all our limitations. And for many, it may never happen because the limits are never tested. I'd call those people 'lucky'.
