So— let me get this straight.

[ Veronica looks sweaty because, you know, apparently the Tranquility believes it's in the tropics in space. She makes a face, wiping her brow with the back of her hand. ]

My laptop, somehow, needs to get recharged. My camera seems to be busted, because it's either that, or everyone has seven days to live, and I'm trying this thing called optimism. I'm all out of crosswords, this is not the vacation that I signed up for, and apparently there is a big giant monster only some people can see that wants to kill us. [ That, and people here either seem to spend their time drunk as hell or being big mystical beings who do mystic things. (Veronica is not worried. Veronica is not worried because Veronica has accepted that this is, like, at least 81% real, and by that juncture the rest of it is just— you roll with the punches. You adapt. You try really, really hard to distract yourself by doing literally any job that falls into your lap.)

That's her. Veronica Mars, modern college girl on the go: the sequel.

In space.

I'm already helping Edgeworth, but if anyone wants me to do an odd job, point me in that direction. You'd be doing me a favor — it's better than just sitting around, trying to deal with the fact I really should have listened more to my AP Physics teacher when he talked about string theory. And, uh—

[ She pauses, her nose wrinkling. ]

I've never— This— whole inter-dimensional science fiction thing? Is new to me. So if there's some kind of, cultural, verbal address that would be more polite when it comes to people who aren't— humanesque, I'd appreciate it if someone could fill me in.

[ God, how is this real. Still hallucinating? Maybe. It's definitely hot enough to be. ]

You're not alone. If I didn't know any better, I'd have dismissed this whole thing as one big movie set and we're all involved in some kind of hoax.

[Abbie rolls her eyes, but she smiles at the reference.]

Yeah, but it's been a few weeks now and I'm more worried that we don't have an apparent reason to actually be here.

As fun as that sound, I'll pass. The heat is almost getting to me though. Last I remember, it was still autumn back in New York so I can do without the sudden change of scenery and temperature.

Ah, a West Coast native then? [Gestures to herself.]

Sleepy Hollow.

[Not as sleepy or hollow as it sounds mind you.]

[There's Biblical prophesies and headless Horseman of the Apocalypse, but that's neither here nor there]

I'd say this is a pretty large leap to make even after years in law enforcement.

I'm Abbie Mills, you?

Lieutenant to be exact. But just "Abbie" is fine.

[Well, space is ridiculous, but Abbie's tolerance for things that don't make sense has actually grown a little...]

It's nice to meet you Veronica.

[She likes the cut of your jib so far Veronica because that actually causes Abbie to let out a chuckle.]

I'll try to use that term sparingly, don't worry. What matters is whether you can live up to it or not.
