Who: anyone
Broadcast: video, fleet-wide
Action: First Breath
When: now!

[ The broadcast is short and to-the-point. Nova's not really one for belaboring something, but she's also bored and curious. For those who have met her before, she looks a little more well-rested than she has lately, her long hair in a neat braid ]

I know there are some people from Aather here, but I'm curious—I mean, if you want to talk about it—has anyone else had their memory... messed with? Taken away and given back? I guess you wouldn't know if it had just been taken away... Or, I don't know.

If you haven't had something like that, do you ever just get new information? I don't think I'm explaining this right.

[ she looks mildly annoyed and ends the video ]

You could say that.

When we were brought there, we had almost no memories. We had to earn them back piece by piece. I think I messed up, though, because they still kind of... trickle in, here.

Big memories? [ or little memories. ]

New stuff, yeah, and the missing pieces. I don't know how much is left...

I guess it's hard to know just how much you've forgotten if it's not there to be remembered.

Yeah, exactly. I just thought I'd ask around. I don't know why.

Curiousity. Or projection. Does it matter? [ probably not. ] Sorry I can't help.

I think it's for the best.

Oh, hey, while you're here though, Tyrion managed to come up with a bow. It still needs fine-tuning, but it exists.

[ record scratch. ]

Seriously? What'd he make it out of?

[ let's just ignore the fact that she said 'tyrion', though. because kate's endured too many game of thrones marathons with the guys not to recognize that name. ]

Some sort of lightweight metal. You'd have to ask him.

And arrows?

He's working those up too. Otherwise, what's the point?

Hah, [ what's the point? ] Literally.

[ ??????????? it takes her maybe a little long to get it ]

Oh. Yeah. Hah.

Not fond of puns? [ a pause. ] I get it. They're the lowest form of wit.

I think you need to have wit at all for them...

[ she doesn't think that highly of herself ]

C'mon. There's no such thing as a sharpshooter without a sharp wit to match. [ ... ] Excluding Clint.

[ his jokes suck. ]

Well, you've just met one. Promise. I'm not very funny.

Maybe. Maybe not. Wit is more than comedy.

Yeah, I know. Anyway, I think you probably have more than enough for both of us.

I'll try and take that as a compliment. [ ... ] Are you excited?

[ to have a bow again, though it's not clear that she's switched back to the previous topic. ]
