[It's her first post on the network. It won't be her last. Karen slides her fingers through her hair, obviously looking for a place to start.]
Okay, does anyone feel like they've actually adjusted to all of this? I know I haven't been here for long, and even when you know for a fact that there are aliens, when you've seen them come down and make a mess out of New York City, you just never expect to be taken on board an actual spaceship. [There's a nervous little laugh at that before she takes a deep breath.] But this happened, so...
[Karen looks directly at the video and smiles.]
So I guess I'll start. Uhm...for those I haven't met, my name is Karen Page. I'm from Vermont, originally, but I moved to New York. Hell's Kitchen - I know, it sounds like a terrible place, and it can be. But there's also some really good people. I work at a law firm there. I'm not a lawyer, I'm...I make coffee and answer phones and I'm the deciding vote in things like whether or not we're having pizza or Thai food for lunch.
[And it's worth noting that the more she talks about her life, the more her face lights up.]
So, who wants to tell me more about themselves? Like where you're from and what you do there, or anything - just anything.
[Conversation always makes for the best distraction. She catches her breath.]
I promise I'll listen.

[They haven't done any time travelling or accidentally created an alternate timeline because of a misunderstanding yet, so the Moira is one step below the Lost Light.]
Anyway, I'm Tailgate and I come from the planet Cybertron. Umm... I'm six million years old and my favourite colour is blue and... I like old folk music. Mostly when they're sung by people I like. Earth music is fun to listen to sometimes too, even if I don't understand the context for some of it.

[There's a lot of amazing things about this - most of its amazing. But she starts with that.]
You have got to tell me what kind of moisturizer you use.
Re: video
...Once you tell me what moisturizer is.
