[The audio comes on first, and muttered cursing can be heard along with a few loud thumps.]

Frell! Just how does this piece of dren work?!

[The feed suddenly comes to life and a dark haired woman is seen glaring. It takes her a few to realize the feed is indeed on, but even when she does, she's still glaring. It was just a tad bit obvious that she is more than just a little unhappy.]

What the FRELL is going on?

[She pauses for a moment, and with discernible effort makes herself calm down.]

Now will someone kindly explain to me where exactly I am? I've never heard of this Arse-gard. And more importantly where are Moya and the others? [Pauses again, her scowl returning.]

Where is Crichton? I want to see him! Now!

I think they're basically trying to say that they're actually protecting us. They recently said that if we overthrow them that more dangerous forces could slip in and take over. If that happens, then our worlds are in danger of being destroyed.

[Okay now that makes her pause for a moment.]

Just how exactly would our worlds be in danger of being destroyed.

[She wants all the answers! ALL of them!]

I'm sorry, I don't know. It was never explained. They're relatively cryptic, these gods.

[He wishes he could give her all the answers, but he's lacking in them as well. It's frustrating.]

I hate this place.

[Already. She hates it already. But not really surprising.]

[timesnewroman]

I know. Most of the time, so do I.

[jurlpower]

What is there not to hate about this place?

video;

[timesnewroman]

Some of the people.

[jurlpower]

I don't like people. [Really, she's bad with them.]

video;

[timesnewroman]

Oh. Well, I suppose not everyone has to. There are a lot of really kind people here, though, and you've done just fine talking to me.

[jurlpower]

[She's not sure about the kind people. Really, she tends to just kind of vomit whatever is in her mind.]

I'm not good at nice. And you haven't managed to annoy me yet.

[timesnewroman]

[Some of them are genuinely kind and willing to turn a blind eye to that. Rory is one of them.]

Well...thank you. I think. I think you've done just fine at being nice.

[jurlpower]

[Oh Rory, how sweet. Maybe one day Aeryn will realize that.]

I believe some of the others might disagree with you.

video;

[timesnewroman]

That's alright. I might disagree with them.

[jurlpower]

You are a very strange man. [She's not sure if that's a good thing yet or not.]

video;

[timesnewroman]

I know. Just a bit. There are stranger, I promise. [The corners of his mouth tug into a kind smile--just a bit nervous looking, but genuine.] I hope someone else can give you better anwsers than I can, though.

[jurlpower]

[Yeah, she figured as much.]

You have been plenty of help. [There's a moment of hesitation and then she adds:] Thank you.
