[Video | Sunday - Week 44]

[power_of_touch]

Um, okay, so I think I've been watching a little too much Twilight Zone lately...

[Dani's voice is slightly nervous, as is her little laugh at her own circumstances and attempts at assimilating her current situation into her own world view. And she knows she's more than just nervous because that's her father's voice in her mind, not hers. She's scared. Her eyes dart nervously about and she often looks away from the screen of her communicator.]

This isn't all just in my head, is it? This place? I mean because at least this all being some weird immersive hallucination would make some sort of sense.

[If she were locked away in Building 7, for instance, and everything that had come after her father met with her in holding was the product of her own guilty mind. Or she was still in that room in the warehouse and one of Stanton's special pets was weaving some elaborate simulation for her. That would make sense. But everything feels too real and this is a remarkably random scenario for either of those explanations.]

I just don't understand. I'm trying, but I don't know how I got here. I don't even know how I can be here. The last thing I remember...

Look, I'm not even sure what the last thing I remember is, okay? But I do know that I was in New York and then I was waking up on some kind of spaceship in my underwear.

[Another nervous laugh.]

Do I need to worry about being probed or something? [A small, frustrated sigh follows.]

Is there anyone out there even listening to me?

Hi, I can hear you.

[Christine gives the camera a gentle, hopefully comforting smile.]

I came from the Ship too. My name's Christine. What's yours?

It's happened to a lot of folk. We ain't rightly sure how anyone ends up on the ship, but it's real enough.

You don't have to worry about being probed. Whatever took us here doesn't have an active role in our life.

I still live at the Flop, so if you need any help once you arrive, you can come and find me. My name is Inara.

I know that it's all a bit much right now, but you're going to be okay.
