Who: Nova & U
Broadcast: fleet-wide; video
Action: On First Breath
When: August 14th, early morning

[ Nova looks... tired, especially if you saw her on her first day. She's sitting up on her bed and her space looks pretty immaculate and not at all lived-in. She looks a little anxious, and rebraids the bottom of her hair before speaking, visibly uncomfortable with the camera. ]

Uh. Hey. I guess. I hope I'm not waking anyone up. I'm new so... I don't know. I can't sleep. Does anyone have any tips? Or something? It's... well, it's not exactly quiet, because things make noise. But it's... sterile? It doesn't sound right, or smell right.

I don't really want to think about it too hard. Anyway. If you could tell me what you did when you were new...

[ She trails off, awkward and tired and lets the silence go on a little long ]

It's probably just a personal problem.

Well, what am I supposed to say? Is it weirder than any other thing we've been through?

... I guess not, when you put it like that.

I wish I could be more surprised.

... Before you got here, did you get everything back?

I don't know.

[ sounds unsure, and a little nervous ]

You don't... know?

Well... okay, no. I mean, I got something with my memories in it but I haven't... done anything with it. It seems like too much.

Something with your memories in it?

Yeah, a box.

Weird. Can you even take your memories here?

[ shrugs ]

I wasn't planning on coming here, so who knows.

... Point taken, I guess.

So, I'm taking it that you didn't have a good experience.

I've never heard of a good experience with these places.

I don't know. It could've been worse.

Maybe, but it's still not what I'd call good.

Well, we weren't at the same place, so maybe that's true.

... True. I hope yours was better than mine.

Thanks. I had good friends there.

Yeah, the people were the only good part.

More of your team might show up soon- I arrived a while after one of my teammates, and another teammate arrived not long after me.

Maybe. I'm fine with just Stiles, though. I just wish we were on the same ship.

You've been placed on your ships already?

Yeah.

Which ones?

I'm on First Breath.
