[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 raises a smile to her lips.]

So, it's not too unfamiliar to you? [She actually laughs softly.]

[voluntaryapnea]

[He smiles when she laughs.]

Not completely unfamiliar, no.

[moon_in_her_hair]

What year are you from?

[voluntaryapnea]

2014 was when I was last at home. It's 2015 here, now.

[moon_in_her_hair]

2015? [The number made her head spin.] I suppose the world is very different.

[voluntaryapnea]

Yeah, it kinda is. [He looks down for a second then back up, arching his eyebrows.]

But you'll have a lot of people here happy to help you figure all of it out.

[moon_in_her_hair]

Do you think so? I don't want to burden anyone or have them feel obligated, but it would help.

[voluntaryapnea]

Yeah, definitely. I don't think most people around here will feel burdened. We tend to help each other out.

[Or at least a large portion of them do anyway. Not everyone plays well with others.]
