[ Astrid, meet the network. Network, meet Astrid. She is sitting at the console very straight and stiffly, and looks all but expressionless - except for how wide her eyes are and how she appears to be fidgeting with the fingers of one hand. When she speaks, her voice is very even, though, and not modulated much at all. ]

Hello.

[ there's a brief pause as she stares at the camera. When she starts talking again, her eyes dart away from the camera to look down and off to the side ]

I am Agent Astrid Farnsworth. I would appreciate it if someone would tell me if there is an Agent Charlie Francis, an Agent Lincoln Lee, or an Agent Olivia Dunham here. I report to them and I need further instruction about what I should be doing in this situation.

...Please.

[ her eyes flick back to the camera, then away, and she shuts the feed off ]

[ That is definitely Astrid. Astrid who is acting... very weird, but oh god Olivia is so happy to see her. ]

Astrid! Did you just get here today? Are you okay?
nolimitation: (I'm not calling you a liar)

[ What. ]

I'm sorry, you're not... my Astrid? Does that mean...

[ Pause. Deep breath. ]

I'm confused.

[ Well. Alright then. Olivia presses her lips together and nods, calmly trying to process all of that in a way that doesn't make her feel like her head's going to explode. ]

You're from the other universe. The one William Bell's in. [ She pushes her hair out of her face, hand pressed to her forehead for a moment while she considers, and then lifts her head again and goes on carefully: ] The universe that's at war with ours?

[ That surprises her - more than the discovery that she's from the other side, actually - and Olivia tilts her head, frowning a little as she considers that. ]

So you're from the future. ...my future.

Okay. [ Slow nod. ] Well... it's nice to meet you.

[ Pause. ] Can I ask why I don't like the other... Agent Dunham?

[ Blink. Blink. It takes her a moment to realize she's not going to elaborate. ]

...is this because of those science fiction time travel theories?
nolimitation: (would I take any of it back?)

[ She nods slowly. ] Okay, that's... understandable.

If you need anything, if I can help you settling in here at all, let me know, alright? I know you're not my Astrid, but you're the closest thing to my universe I've found so far, and I'd be happy to help however I can. I'm in the Water Sector. Building 2A.
