video; saturday

[The video starts focused on the space a few inches above Usagi's head, showing the obviously alien decor of one of the pod rooms on the ship. Someone is not quite sure how to aim the camera on her cool new communicator at the moment, but she corrects the angle a bit ham-handedly as she starts to talk. Usagi looks tired, and nervous, and she's speaking Japanese.]

Everybody? Are you getting this? I'm-- I think I'm some place pretty weird.

[She glances around. Yeah. Weird is an understatement. She lowers her arm a little, showing a wider angle: Usagi is seated, slouched, on the floor near where she emerged from her pod, with her transformation compact in her lap. She's got that 'about to cry' trembly face going on.]

And just--just when we were all back together again. Is this some kind of enemy? Could I just be having a nightmare instead?

[Usagi moves her communicator around a little more, poking at it in random, hopeful jabs; she has the "english" and "japanese" part, but "device" is beyond her vocabulary. She talks first in Japanese:]

Why didn't I study more, oh, geeze...

[And switches back to her halting attempts at English.]

Um, I... It speak English?

[He is lost as to how to explain this. His native language won't help and he doesn't know Japanese at all. There must be some way...]

Yes, but the. The thing you are holding, that we speak over, it might be able to... to write in Japanese, what I say?

Oh! Oh.... hmmmmmm.

[It takes her a moment but she parses it. Most of it.]

That makes sense?

[He hopes it does. It seems like she understands it, at least.]

But I do not know how it works.
