[The Guide flicks on. A short woman garbed in the black robes of a Shinigami is sitting cross-legged on a bed, presumably in one of the Stowaways rooms. Her posture is straight, reminiscent of militant, and hints of exhaustion as she stares at the Guide with a stoic expression.
In fact, she looks battle worn; bandages are wrapped around the left sleeve where the arm should have been, and a large gash in the cloth of the robe travels from the left shoulder to the upper torso, with the edges stained a slightly different color and clean bandages beneath. A white haori is folded beside her, with a sheathed blue and gold sword lying on it.]
[The feed is quiet for a moment more, as she appears to be studying the Guide.]
It was advised that I introduce myself.
[A pause. She studies the Guide more.]
...I don't see much use in such a device. However, given the situation, I'm willing to make an exception. I am Soifon, the 2nd Division Captain of the Gotei 13.
...
Everything was destroyed, was it?
[The question seems to be more of a rhetorical statement. Her expression remains perfectly neutral; it's difficult to tell whether she's rattled by that or speaking in disbelief. A moment after, her gaze as well as her voice sharpens a fraction, as she seems to be refocusing on the guide.]
...The ship seemed to be in a state of chaos when I arrived. What happened?
