I have long considered what wold the best way to make my first attempt to communicate through this thing would be. I didn't want to emulate the other new arrivals complaining about this unfair situation, although there is nothing wrong with complaining. I've spent all this time researching whatever information about this place, as well the technological improvements from over the next century after the one I'm originally am, but in the end...

[ You can almost see her huffing. ]

Well, other than a bunch of useless pop culture information, I can't say I'm anywhere closer to figure out this ship. So I guess, I guess I'm complaining after all. For the first time in my life I had the freedom and the means to do something I wanted, and here I am, locked up in a chunk of metal traveling through space, freezing my bones because the ship is, apparently, haunted.

[ A beat. ]

I just wanted to get that out of my chest, I apologize. At any rate, my name is Elizabeth, if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.

'Least we're sharing this prison together for the time being.

[If that's consolation at all. It is for him, at least, even though he would never truly wish this situation upon her. Regardless:]

Almost time for the jump, best not be late gettin' into your pod.

[Helpful Advice from a Perpetually Concerned Booker, everyone.]

That makes it better, yes.

[ It is a consolation, somehow. ]

Do we really need to get into those things again?

This place seems to have a sense of humour about taking people right after they get freedom.

I don't find it funny though. Not in the least.

I didn't say it was a good sense of humour.

You didn't, that's correct.

I have heard news of people being in the bridge, but I have not been paying attention. Do you know what's going on?

They tried to take it over and got trapped there.

Jump's soon, if they're still in there they'll be dead.

So the controls of the ship are not on the bridge? Odd.

Is there anything we can do for them?

People tried, nothing's worked. It's too late now.

No wonder why this has been causing so much noise. Suddenly not getting to know more people seems to have worked out for me, I don't know what would I do if a friend was locked there.

That said, I hope you're not in that situation.

If you don't, you die. [A pause.] That's the problem we've been having with the people trapped on the bridge.
