[Stephanie comes onto the network a la video and she looks tired, bedraggled, and kind of like hell in her flannel shirt and still damp jeans.]
 
Hi. Stephanie here. [She wrings her hair a little.]
 
That was an experience I never, ever want to repeat.  [Ever.]
 
Why the ocean? Couldn’t it have been a freshwater lake? At least that way, I wouldn’t feel like a too salty piece of beef jerky, though I guess then you run the risk of leeches and other watery vermin. [She needed a shower, bad, but she had some questions first. It wasn’t unordinary for her to shunt personal hygiene to the side for at least a few minutes when there were answers that could be sniffed out.]
 
And, why a coma? Anybody have any answers? Those guys that ‘saved’ me were kind of vague. I’ll buy coffee – if they have it here and God I hope they do – for anyone that can help me out.
 
[Or at least, she will until her money runs out, anyway.]

[Except where they aren't that small, but, no, they don't mention this fact.]

Yes. A giant, see-faring turtle. The shell of which glows after sunset, wherever it is uncovered. Both its head and its flipper have been places where things - fighting, I mean - have happened.

[....Better, more adaptable people would've had a better response than Stephanie. Unfortunately, in the moment the best she can come up with is:]

...Uh.

[Eyebrows up, amused.]

Eloquent.

[Recovering.]

I've never been known to excel at public speaking. [A lot of time she just sort of bumbles her way through things. But it's mostly worked so far, so she can't complain much.]

Just, you realize...what you said, right? I mean, say it back to yourself again.

Yes. Facts, as they fave been witnessed and cross-referenced.

Oh, and the fire displays in the Fire sector of the city do not burn. That is likely the easiest of my statements to verify.

[Look who's not disturbed. At all.]

[Stephanie rubs at her eyes and grimaces. Salt water in the eyeballs, not so cool. She feels like they're full of sand and red.]

Wow. This is either a hell of a trip, or I really did get shot.

But I guess it's all kind of cool.

Why do you consider the two mutually exclusive? They wouldn't be, with some anesthetics.

[And the rest gets a frown and actual consideration. Is this place 'cool'?]

>Tt.<
