[After finding her clothes and things, Christine is tiptoeing through the ship, expecting an enemy around every corner. But when she comes to the hatch that leads out, she feels a rush of relief. Slipping outside, she takes in her surroundings, and then tries the communicator in her hand -- one that looks so much like one from the Enterprise that she assumes she can reach her ship.]

Chapel to Enterprise. I'm at an unknown location. I was captured and placed in some sort of stasis pod. Requesting you beam me up immediately.

[She waits, and nothing happens. Nor is there any response from the transporter team. Uh oh.]

Enterprise, come in?

[More silence. Sighing, she begins to move away from the crashed ship, wondering if there's something about it that's blocking her signal. She looks curiously at the domed city in the distance, and the landscape surrounding her. Then she speaks to herself.]

Where am I?

[Hey, chocolate is equal-opportunity or Bones has never seen a mixed-gender swarm of medical residents strip a leftover bowl of candy down to bare wrappers. He huffs a laugh at the question.]

No, we're not that bad off. There's only about forty of us awake from the ship, so it's multiple bunks in a room, but no sharing them yet. I figure more people will move out as time goes by, too.

Is it safe for us to move out among the locals, though?

Just fine -- they're good people, by and large, and the maniacs behind the dome aren't going to differentiate between the Flop and another apartment if they feel like setting the damned place on fire again.

[This is not, perhaps, the most reassuring statement ever. Bones hitches a shoulder in a shrug.]

The main hazard is that if you don't board with one of the local families, you're looking at a certain amount of renovations. I haven't had the time to do that, or to find someone willing to do it for me, so the Flop it remains.

Well, as much as I'd love to dabble in apartment renovation and interior design, I'll probably be too busy as well. At least for now.

[So the Flop it is for her too, while she settles into the place.]

Oh, I think I see someone coming out to meet me. I'll see you at the hospital?

Count on it, Chapel. Don't let the feathered raptors bite.

[With a last crooked smirk and a tip of his chin, Bones signs off.]
