[River is actually outside the ship. She's in the Old City, sitting on the street somewhere, arms wrapped around her knees. She's wearing the same dress she arrived in, and still hasn't gotten any shoes. There's a collar around her neck.]

I can't see them...can't pull out the bits inside. They talk to me, but I hear words that mean nothing.

[she says the next bit quietly, as if she's reminding herself] I could function like I'm a girl...


((ooc: There will be a separate log for collar removal once I know for sure who's all going to be involved in that. You're welcome to action thread here, if you like! River won't be able to read your character at all because of the collar.))

The important question is, would you rather continue to deny a part of yourself like this?

[Pause.]

The collar can be removed.

function like a girl? what are you

[truth_is_cold]

You have one of those things on you. [He hates those collars. But, now he has to point out to Dylan that this is one of the people he'd mentioned with some level of precognitive ability.]

I'm Captain Dylan Hunt of the Systems Commonwealth.

[He's not quite sure how to talk to her. She seems not all there. But he notices the collar around her neck and a young girl in distress requires immediate offers of aid, no matter how odd the young girl in question is.]

If you can tell me where you are, I'll come help you.
