[The Girl smiles tentatively as the recording begins. Anyone might mistake her for shy, rather than wary, though the truth of it is she's only addressing the network at all because, as the welcome pamphlet has assured her, everyone brought here has...powers. Which suggests she may be able to trust them, inasmuch as she'd trust any stranger.]Hello.

It says I do, but that can't be all. I'm sure I'm not allowed to have a job. Am I supposed to roam the streets at night, fighting crime?

[Except you're not a kid, so you're sort of a creeper, Martin.]

Are you okay? Um- there's the MAC, you can stay there, but..

Gosh, um..a kid shouldn't be on her own, huh..

[the23rdsubject]

Thank you, I'm alright. It says I have a room at the MAC, so I guess that's alright, but I'm not sure about money. The stipend doesn't seem like a lot. And...it would be nice to go school. If I can.

[ambitionroad]

you should probably go to the mac and figure things out from there. unless you're already...there...

i'm really not sure running around at night is the answer for any of us, even if a big robot told us so.

[the23rdsubject]

I'm going. The running around at night didn't sound like a good idea to me either.

[ambitionroad]

do you have parents? back home.

[She doesn't know. If she does, she'll probably never find them. But they're most likely already dead.]

No.
