[Ragged]

I ain't dead. But I remember...

What was the point of that? Why...?

[There is a muffled sob, before she disconnects]

Lady Kaylee?

[machines_talk]

[There will be no answer for a long time. Traumatized Kaylee is traumatized.]

[egyptianmage]

[We blame Bill Gates.]

[machines_talk]

[Econtra runs on Vista? Uh-oh!]

[sheifa]

Kaylee? You're okay, aren't you?

[machines_talk]

[There's a long interval before there's a reply. Eventually, sounding as though she's been crying,]

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. Just feelin' a bit shaken up, is all.

[sheifa]

You and me both.

[machines_talk]

Yeah. I...I guess we probably all are, huh?

[spaceflyboy]

Hey.. hey Kaylee..

[machines_talk]

[Eventually!]

Duo...?

[spaceflyboy]

Yeah. You okay?

The old man? He okay?

[machines_talk]

Yeah. Yeah, I think so. You?

[Quiet, a little frightened]

I ain't seen him...not for days.

[poppingseeds]

K-Kaylee, we're all still really..?

[can't really bring herself to say the word 'alive']

[machines_talk]

Y-yeah... I think we are. Don't really know how, but...

I can still remember it. I don't really wanna...

[poppingseeds]

I can't -- I keep expecting to look at myself and see me as memories of those charred corpses...

I don't want to either.

[machines_talk]

I know. I...I can't believe we're all just...walkin' around, after that.

Why did they do this?
