[She's still trying to determine whether this is wise, but the offer had been a saving grace for her. She wanted anything that could remove her from the mountains and the horrors of war. This may not be what her father intended for her with her life, but this life was her choice.

That at least would comfort at night.]

My name is Alice Munro and I am new to this ship. [Ship. That in itself would take time to grow used to. It wasn't like the ship that brought her to the colonies at all.]

Those that are wardens, if you would be so kind to offer me advice perhaps on those here assembled? I know why I am here, but I would like to be made aware of what I am in store for. I do not want to be caught unawares. Not again.

[She hesitates before addressing the inmates.]

Those that are imprisoned, if you also have any information about the ship itself, I should be grateful.

[That's quite a bit to take in. Thinking that Prussia would try to take over or that they think they can, it's shocking. Only recently did England even beat France.]

So all of these nations banded together to stop Pr..Germany and Japan? A war of the worlds then?

[withtheoldbreed]

That's what they're calling it.

Was that where you were before you were brought here?

[withtheoldbreed]

I was on Peleliu. It's an island in the Pacific the Japanese took.

[And for once, he's not hit with that weird sense of frustration that people don't know where that is. It's not like she can help it.]

[moon_in_her_hair]

Was the battle very fierce? [It's something she can understand. The horror and emptiness of all the fighting.]

[withtheoldbreed]

Yeah, it was.

[moon_in_her_hair]

I am so sorry. It is not something I would wish on any. The fear and the...horror stay with you.
