[Aaron had spent the last several days exploring Tu Vishan with Marta, making mental notes of places and things they might need in the future. He was thorough with his recon, going so far as to even map out everything they'd seen, the crude yet detailed drawing on the table of he and Marta's shared suite. It marked not just Sectors and their boundaries, the shops and local drop ins, but also ways out of the Sectors.
Some of those were main thoroughfares, but most were back alleys that he had explored during at least one night of unrest. If something happened, he knew no less than six ways out of their own Sector and atleast as many in the others. He hadn't gotten as far as exploring the castle at the center, but he intended to.
For now though, he wanted to get a tab on the local neighbors in his own Sector and without. So, he opts for a video post from his own console, making certain that little enough is in the image to give any more indication of their whereabouts as any other residents room.
He might look familiar to some of you, but he's not who you think he is. His left shoulder, where visible beneath his t-shirt, is newly bandaged and he looks a bit worse for the wear and banged up. If only you guys knew...]
Hey... [He raises a hand and gives a half wave.] I'm James... from Earth. [He shakes his head laughing softly at himself. Superspy? What superspy? Look at this unassuming nice guy!!!] Man, please don't let that sound as crazy as I think it does.
I've been here a few days now and as fun as this little trip into Wonderland has been, I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of something at least vaguely resembling a beer. I'm not picky, honest, but if I'm going to be stuck here I'd at least like some of the comforts of home.
Anyone else brought here from Earth?
[Even with so simple and seemingly innocent a series of questions, it was a definitive way to start figuring out who, or what, was here.]

Hadn't thought to even ask about coffee, but I never drank much of it back home anyway. But just because they have it, doesn't mean it's any good. [His lips quirk slightly.]
The coffee any good?

I'm Nicole, by the way. Been here about as long as you have, so I'm afraid I can't actually point you in the direction of a good bar, but let me know if you find one.

Well, as it's different from one gas station to the next, I don't suppose getting use to a new blend is anything too difficult.
[He nods once at the latter.]
Will do, Nicole. Maybe I can put together a welcome brochure for the new arrivals. 'Local places that will neither kill you with food or in a literal sense.' Has a kinda ring to it, I think...

[ Her smile has a hint of strain to it, a touch of brittleness, the look of someone who's trying to keep it together but is deeply out of her element and knows it. ]
