[The console switches on and a pale skinned, brunette with blue eyes smiles into the camera. The right side of her head seems to be shaven and something that looks like a metal plate is barely visible on that side. She seems to be pleased to see the open network and raises her hand in a little wave. As she did so, bluish-white marks can be seen starting from her left hand and going up along her arm. The tattoo-like markings also seem to cross onto her chest, though they stop at the center. The marks seem to glow faintly, even in the well lit room she’s sitting in.]

Hello uhm—whoever is out there. I’m Angel and I am—obviously new here. This is actually my third day living on this turtle and I haven’t actually left my house yet but I definitely plan to! Yes, I plan to go out very uh—very soon. [She tries to look confident but her expression comes across as sheepish at best. After that however, she descends into awkward silence before picking herself back up again.]

So—Can I ask who’s out there? Is there anyone from Promethea, Eden-5, Eden-6, uhm…Pandora? And what’s out there? Outside I mean. Are there trees? Oh geez, That must sound like a weird question. So okay—I have actually never been outside before and a lot of things that are outdoors are totally new to me. [As though the outdoors can hear her the woman turns her head toward the window briefly before looking back at the screen.]

Okay so I’ve made this completely awkward now. I’m sorry. [She fidgets with her hair for a while, fondling the ponytail that hangs over her shoulder on the unshaven side of her head. There is a slight indication of movement off screen as she shuffles her feet a little bit under the table. The girl looks anxious, as though she can’t decide if she should wait for a response or just shut the entire thing down right then and there.]

The New-U. It records your genetic data and reboots you to the last check point should you meet an untimely demise. Which actually happens a lot o Pandora with the skags and stalkers and bullymongs and the bandits and psychos. [The girl seems incredibly desensitized to all of this]

That's... but... how!?

How does it record it? It scans you when you use it for the first time. How does it regenerate you? With Hyperion's digistruct technology. It's the same technology that lets people easily switch between weapons while they're fighting off skags and stuff.

You can't just bring a person back, with all of their memories and everything, that's impossible!

It happens all the time on Pandora. Is it really that unusual? I mean, you lose a percentage of whatever money you have on you when you regenerate, but that's how Hyperion pays for new unite and repairs.

It's... it shouldn't be scientifically possible.

I...really don't know what to tell you. [she scratches her temple, smiling sheepishly] Hyperion is the top company for a reason I suppose.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude. I'm just not used to science that I don't already know at least in theory.

But there is always something unknown in the universe isn't there? I certainly never could have thought of a place like this either. [She lets out a small giggle]

That's certainly true. I feel a bit snobbish, I just got so used to Krypton being more advanced than anywhere else.

They must be really incredible then!

[ She smiles. ]

I always thought so.
