[This is Asami. This is Asami wrapped up like an enchilada in a thick, dark red blanket while she faces the screen. It's her first time with a recording like this—the technology is beyond even the movers Varrick produced—so she proceeds self-consciously.

That isn't to say she wasn't eager to try it out. The tape on the side of her console is indication of that, but it's out of sight of the viewer.]

Well, here I am. I've had some time to think about what I wanted to say, but to be honest I don't even know where to begin.

But we're all comrades here, right? So my name's Asami, and I'm a... [businesswoman? What kind of sales approach is that? She straightens her back.] I'm the chief executive officer of my family's company at home in Republic City. We're known for our automobiles and weaponry, and I have experience with each of our products. Not that I see myself getting comfortable here, but if I can make myself useful in a company running somewhere along those lines, then I think that would be a good place to start.

[She visibly deflates after the spiel, mustering a small smile.] So I guess I'll see you guys around! Go ahead and introduce yourselves if you have time. I think I could use some faces to call familiar.

I gotcha. I'll pay it forward for sure. May I ask you a question about the turtle shell, though?

[This would be easier if it was just voice. He's old enough to drink on the turtle, right?]

Sure thing!

Great. This might be an odd question, but do you know how exactly indoor plumbing works here?

There's a sewage system under the shell, I'm guessing it just leads out to the ocean either that or gets recycled into fertilizer for crops. Guessing it's the same for the water that's used to flush. Like it's brought in from the sea, probably stored or something in parts of the shell.

You know, you might get a better answer from some of the kedan. I never thought about it.

Well, your guess is as good as mine! I just have to wonder about these things. This isn't the first time I've heard of cities being located on the back of a turtle—a lion turtle actually—but then again I don't suppose those cities were this industrialized. It's neat to think about either way.
