[The video comes at an odd angle, all wild waves of vivid green hair, occasionally rocking nauseously to reveal pale, creamy skin and the flash of dark blue eyes or part of a nervous but friendly smile -- much like the voice that comes over the airwaves.]

I've... never used something like this before, so I hope it's working! [Her laugh comes soft, chiming a few times before dissipating. The screen shakes and a slender hand comes into view, gesturing as she speaks. Slowly her appearance becomes a little more visible; a sideways angle of about two-thirds of her face comes into focus. Though the angle is odd, it's clear that she is an attractive woman and while uncomfortable, she radiates warmth.]

I'm not really sure where I'm going with all of this, I hadn't had much of a plan in mind when I started. [Another soft laugh that implies she's lost in more than one sense of the word. It doesn't reach her eyes, nor does the smile any longer.]

I do have a question, though, if no one minds it. What now?

It's hardly sensitive, just...depressing, I suppose.

[Ienzo smiles at her.]

Thank you. I'm not without friends here, but one does get homesick.

How honest of you to say. [ Although perhaps brutally so. She wouldn't quite go so far as he had, not yet anyway. ]

You're quite welcome. I figured as much, though, since I can't imagine someone as helpful and interesting as you being without comrades. [ This really could easily come off as flirting, couldn't it? She's rather oblivious to that fact, simply stating how she feels -- which happens to be complimentary. ]

[Ienzo smiles and shakes his head. He doesn't take it as flirting, because honestly he doesn't really expect to be flirted with.]

Thank you for that evaluation. I'm certain you'll make friends as well. But truly, I should be going so you can settle in.
