[The concept of face twins isn't a new one on the ship, but this is something entirely different. The person that once was Claire Saunders is gone. In her stead is a similar looking woman, though this is still Claire's body. Those scars across her face make it recognizable to those who know the doctor.

But Whiskey is docile in comparison. There is no edge to her voice, no skepticism or cynicism. She is not closed off. Whiskey is both more childlike and yet moves almost like a ghost, quiet and calm, always with wide eyes.]

Hello. [She blinks. There is no such network at her last residence, and this place is confusing as is. She isn't sure what to say, having nothing programmed, no response to this atmosphere.]

I would like to know more of this place if I am going to be here longer. It is not like the Dollhouse. There is no pool or yoga. I do not know what to do. [She blinks again. Having to decide things is still a foreign concept, but she is doing what she must. Her head tilts as if something popped in her head.]

I like the oxygen gardens.

[It isn't a whole lot of information, but it's clear something happened to her. She's defenseless here for the most part and more than a little lost. Hopefully Topher figures out something soon.]

[Shit--shit shit.]

...where are you?

[This is what she had told him about, isn't it? When she gets a new personality. But who the hell--]

[SHE'S IN HER ROOM, HE SAID

EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE, HE SAID]

[testgasm]

Hi! Hello! How's it…going…

You will, um. You'll be pleased to know that there is, in fact, a pool. And yoga, probably. I can take you to the pool, and potentially to yoga [what is yoga], but you'll, um. You'll have to leave your communicator. Because. It will get wet. And. Stop working.

In fact, just to be safe, you should put the little black box away and not touch it again. Don't want anything to happen to it, right? Delicate piece of machinery, that is. Expensive. Breakable.

I'll…come find you, in the meantime. Direct you to the…aforementioned pool. And yoga.

dollhouse?

[jurisimpudent]

Madam, have you recently suffered an injury of some ilk?

voice; because pfft, text function

[pitied]

I do not hurt. [If that is what he means by injury.]

[pitied]

I am out of my room. [Perhaps she shouldn't have left.]

[voice]

[pitied]

You could find them? [She's only managed to venture to the oxygen gardens. They were peaceful and not so lonely.]

I like the talking device. There are others here.

[pitied]

Where I stayed before this place.

[mutelunatic]

an actual house?

[jurisimpudent]

[After a moment, he himself switches to voice.]

Forgive me; I do not know you so very well, so perhaps it is not my place to say so. But you're acting rather strangely.

[pitied]

A-- place. [She doesn't know what else to call it, not knowing its true nature.]

voice;

[pitied]

Am I unpleasing? [The curiosity in her voice gives way to an unseen headtilt.]

voice;

[jurisimpudent]

Ah -

[That takes him completely aback; his only response is, uncertainly - ]

What?

voice;

[pitied]

You said I am acting strangely. Am I unpleasing? [Her voice is still light.]

voice;

[jurisimpudent]

Er - No. It is not a matter of pleasing and...et cetera. It's merely that you are different from before.

[perma-voice]

[testgasm]

Yes! Know exactly where they are. Could take you right to them, and you won't need the talking device. Nothing interesting about it, promise.

voice;

[pitied]

Before when?

[pitied]

You do not think so? There are people talking on it now.

[testgasm]

They're not interesting at all, trust me. The pool is much more entertaining. You like pools?

[pitied]

I would like to go swimming. [Successfully derailed. Conflict just doesn't work in her brain.]

voice;

[jurisimpudent]

Before...now.

[He frowns.]

When I last spoke with you.

[redhotsummers]

Can you do me a favor and stay right there? I'm going to come and get you. It's...not real safe to be outside, right now.

[This girl won't even know who the hell he is, great.]

voice;

[pitied]

[She cannot follow what he means. Before now she was in the gardens, before that in her room, and before that with Topher.

She returns to her original statement.]

I do not hurt? [Is that the answer he wants?]

[pitied]

You know where the pools are, too? [She looks pleasantly surprised.]
