[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.

I don't think I thought about space as much though. Mostly other worlds and stuff. Space always seemed sorta...cold. Scary.
Video
It's not so bad though, right? I guess it is still a little cold and scary, but we have each other.
Video
It's alright. I like the sky more, but you're right. Having people around makes it a lot better.

Oh, I haven't said anything about where I come from, have I? That might make more sense. [He laughs sheepishly at himself] I'm from Japan. Been to a lot of it, thanks to Onii-chan - he works with the police so sometimes he'd get shuffled from place to place, and since we worked with him, we got to come too. Haven't been out of the country, but maybe one day when we go back. I'd like to see more of the world.

Do you mind if I ask how old you are?

[He's kind of proud of this? But at the same time there's an odd tone in his voice. Like some parts of it he really wasn't fond of]
