[Michiru only hesitates a moment before coaxing a finger over what she hopes will be the switch that turns this on to broadcast -- though broadcast to whom, she's not entirely sure. Still, they're in the dark. And they need answers, even if she's not sure how well she'll be able to trust any of the answers that come.

But there wasn't much choice.]

I'm not sure who is out there and hearing this, but we're looking for... answers. Any answers. Where is this place. Why are we here?

[All business, a plainly guarded expression on her features, blue eyes fixed steadily on the video screen.]

And how did we even get here? Who kidnapped us and who do we need to defeat to get home?

[The deeper voice comes from somewhere off screen, and a dusty blonde head looks briefly over Michiru's shoulder to frown at the screen, too. Then it's gone again, as Haruka pulls back and gets back to finishing getting her things together.]

If we were brought here, there's a way to get back where we came from. There has to be.

[Michiru's gaze flickers back only briefly towards her partner. Who do they need to defeat. It's crossed her mind too; if this is another battle they need to face to fulfill their duty, she's willing to face it.]

We'd appreciate any answers anyone has. That's all. Thank you.

You're too nice, Michiru, you should have--

[And that's all of Haruka's growled complaint that the feed gets before it shuts off.]

I think my favourite's the theory that someone was amassing a zoo populated by human beings from as many alternate realities as possible. Which, you know, falls apart when you remember not everyone's human, but hey.

Seriously, though - we're working on it. If you or your friend's good with languages in general, take a look at some of the script on the walls. You recognize anything new, that might narrow it down a little.

A zoo. [She doesn't like the idea at all. Nope.] There are non-humans here? What sorts of beings are they?

We'll have a look. Though I'm no linguist unfortunately. But maybe there'll be something.

Your standard sci-fi aliens. The non-murderous variety, actually. For once.

Well, thank goodness for small favors I suppose.

I'm not much of a sci-fi fan.

Then a free word of advice: don't go poking anything that looks like it might be gestating.

...that movie I think I have seen. And I think it's advice worth following.
