[After the Kedan left, Holiday meandered around her suite a bit, trying to find some sort of distraction... or maybe answers. Was she dreaming? The last thing she remembered before arriving here was Rex and- and talking to White and- She must have passed out along with everyone else...]

[She decided to activate this network thing to see some of the locals around here. Maybe it's all just a dream, but-]

Hello. I'm Doctor Rebecca Holiday and I'm new in... Keeliai. [Did she even pronounce that right?] I suppose that since I'm here now, I should probably try to... figure out my way around this place a bit or something.

If there are any hospitals or clinics near by, I would like to visit one of them, for work purposes. [And the nanites.] One of the people who helped me to my suite told me that I live in the Earth sector now, if that helps anything... Actually, is there a better way to get around this city rather than using carts?

Um... Thank you for your time.

[WA. That must be the Water sector... Now where is that?]

Thanks. I wouldn't mind helping out with this new clinic if you need extra hands and I'll be sure to go over to the Water sector once I'm settled.

... And have a bike. [Where do you get those? How much do they cost? Bah, there's bigger things here.]

Someone, ah, did mention something about a turtle earlier... That's not really true, is it? That this whole place is on the back of a turtle?

No prob. I'm Jaime, by the way-- I'll let you know when that stuff's done, promise.

Er, about the... turtle thing. [He makes a very reluctant-sounding inhale through his teeth, and exhales through pursed lips.] If you go out far enough, you can see the shell and the head, but I've never been there myself.

A pleasure, Jaime.

[... Though, uh-] ... You'll have to understand if I'm finding this a little hard to believe.

Welcome to the club. Your suspension of disbelief comes loose after a while, give it time.

[That's a scary thought.]

I'm still not entirely sure how I arrived here, much less able to rationally believe this entire area is on the back of a very very large turtle... I guess I'll have to take a trip.

Tu Vishan's a nice guy, from what I hear. I've never spoken to him. Well, actually, I don't know if you can talk to him.

[doc_holi]

... Who?

[They were just talking about the- Oh wait.]

Tu Vishan. That's the turtle's name?





... He can talk?

[escarabajo]

Not, uh.... verbally. But I'm pretty sure he can communicate. A turtle magic mind link, um, thing.

[A beat. Just... let that sink in, Doc.]

I'm not making this up, promise.

[doc_holi]

... I believe that you're not making it up.

[She doesn't believe that you're just parroting the gossip. Surely this is all just crazy talk.]
