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.

[takeabow]

Oh.

Well.

Me neither?

Sorry.

[reconstitution]

It's fine.

[takeabow]

I guess I mean we just met.

[reconstitution]

You're not so bad.

[takeabow]

Thanks. I'll take that as high praise.

[reconstitution]

If you'd like. [ A nod. ]

[takeabow]

Can I ask... what you do remember?

[reconstitution]

...Not much. My training, waking up for a mission briefing. I was leaving with my team.. Then I was here.

[takeabow]

What was your team like?

[reconstitution]

They don't say much. They do what they need to for the sake of the mission.

[takeabow]

Have you been here long?

[reconstitution]

I arrived shortly before you.

[takeabow]

So, no.

How do you find it?

[reconstitution]

It's...better? I guess. As much as it can be trapped in a prison.

[takeabow]

Yeah. I miss green things.

[reconstitution]

I don't know what I miss.

[takeabow]

Your memories, probably?

[reconstitution]

What about yours?

[takeabow]

Do I miss them? I don't know.

[reconstitution]

Not having mine isn't getting in the way.

[takeabow]

Sure, but in the way of what?

[reconstitution]

This place, I guess.

[takeabow]

Yeah, maybe.

[reconstitution]

It could be worse.

[takeabow]

Yeah, it always can.

Have you made any friends?
