[Xavier is sitting on a cot in the Flop, hands clasped in her lap as she smiles into the camera. It's a weary smile, but a friendly one. Her hair is tied back in a low, messy knot.]
Hello. My name is Jocelyn Xavier, and I have a request of everyone.
I'd like to know some details about your home, your history. Nothing intimate, of course – just basic facts that might help us discern some sort of pattern in our abduction. Your statistics, essentially – and your skills, if you don't mind sharing.
I'll start us off.
I come from Earth. America, originally, but I've been traveling for several years. The current year is – was – 1956. I recently turned thirty years old. [Her expression tightens, just slightly, as her voice quiets.] Both of my parents are deceased. My step-brother and his father, as well.
[Her next words come quickly, as she forces old emotions away.] I spent eight years at Oxford University, in England. I have PhDs in genetics, biophysics, psychology, psychiatry, and anthropology.
[She hesitates, then, brow furrowing she glances downward; she seems to steel herself as she looks back into the camera.]
I was a soldier for three years. [It would be dangerous to admit, at home, and might raise suspicions here. But she's asking for honesty, and she's holding enough back already.]

How has that plan gone, so far?

In Dylan's future, he knows us as something much worse.
