[There is a really, really unpleasant banging noise, like someone's thwacking their tab against a rock because (surprise) that's exactly what this particular someone is doing. A feminine, Australian accented voice cuts in after a while.]

-would have been nice if they’d given us a bloody crash course in how to use these things. How do you even-

[There is jarring sound of static and then a burst of distortion as a finger jabs at the TAB]

-tell-

[Another jab and more distortion.]

-if it’s-

[One more jab and for some strange reason, the image feed is flipped upside down and everything is strangely… purple.]

-working?

[There’s a sigh, and then coming through the upside down, purple video feed there’s a woman with dark hair looking quizzically at the TAB with a furrowed brow until she sighs.]

Some week this is shaping out to be.

[She jabs at the tab again, and while the feed returns to right side up, it’s still conspicuously purple.]

Okay. I don’t get it. Never did go in much for the whole sci-fi thing. First person to tell me where I can get a beer and a back rub in that order is my new space best friend. Name’s Chloe by the way. Chloe Frazer.

[She squints at the tab and then rolls her eyes.]

Shit, did I break it? Fantastic...

[ooc: backdated to during week two!]

They did it on the ship, it was how we got our communication devices -- the TAB you're using now? We used to use the MIDs but they stopped working after the crash.

I guess it's not in the way or anything but I wouldn't mind getting it out if they're totally useless.

[nicearsenal]

Not to mention it'll make going through airport security a real bitch whenever we get back to earth. I guess I should consider myself lucky I didn't find myself here when those things were getting dished out.

How long have you been stuck in space for? Before the crash, I mean.

[infailtration]

Well I've been 'stuck in space' for like a decade back home but I was on the Moira for about a month before the crash, and it was falling apart around us. I hear it used to be pretty nice, though.

[nicearsenal]

Ah, so a seasoned space veteran then. You'll have to give a newbie like me the lowdown on how to get through the transition period.

I don't suppose you know if they're planning on sending anyone to come get us?

[infailtration]

It's an adjustment, that's for sure. A little different when you sign up for it like I did, though. Mostly I'd tell you just to be careful around here. We don't know anything about this planet, or the hub, or what we're headed into. Don't go anywhere outside of camp alone and be armed if you can.

We're on our own as far as I know. The ship didn't have contact with anybody else while I was on it, so nobody knows we crashed. The hub's supposed to take us to another Ingress -- the tech that brought us here -- so we can hopefully get home.
