[River is a seventeen-year-old girl who looks exactly like this. The cuts on her arm and forehead are relatively recent, though they've been cleaned up. But there are older scars and marks if you look close enough. She's wearing the same dress, and still isn't wearing any shoes.

She turns on the video, and frowns at the device in her hands. It's clear from the background that she's on the ship again, sitting on the floor.] Dedicated source box. Filtered information from the Cortex...only what they want you to see. But it’s broken. Bits and pieces stuck inside that don’t belong.

[Then, she looks directly into the camera.] We don’t belong. We’re lost...lost in the woods.

((ooc: River won't really be able to read thoughts through the communicator, but let me know if there's any significant body language or physical features she might draw conclusions from. She may or may not actually comment on it.))

[What happens when you take a woman with no social skills who has a hard time understanding things when people don't speak plainly and have her talk to someone who makes no sense? HILARITY, obviously.]

What are you saying?

Broken where it shouldn't. It is salvation.

It will rise and bring it back.

[hi_there_aliens]

River, what are you doing back on the ship?

You don't look so good, kid.

[The sight's all too familiar to him, even now, almost two decades later. And it's why, despite leaving the feed on audio, it's still obvious that he's concerned. And angry. Though the latter is directed elsewhere.]

Then it means we pick a direction and keep moving until we find a way out.

[Israel's body language is all genuine concern, though at least her cuts look like they've gotten some treatment. Also, depending on her range, she might actually be able to sense him anyway, since he's a cypher for some 7 million people all crushed down into and filtered through one.]

We are lost. But we've been lost before, and we can find our way again. Okay?

[truth_is_cold]

We don't belong in the ship. Or here.

[It's more of question than a statement, Rhade's trying to interpret what she means. He's also wondering how she got those injuries. She doesn't seem frightened, though. Not as he understands most untrained young people would be.

But then again, she might not be all there enough to be frightened. He can see other people are offering her assistance.]

I'd tell you not to be afraid, but a little fear might be healthy. No one knows anything about this situation.
