A smallish pale girl appears on the system, moving around somewhat frantically near the various cabins with a look that is 1 part confusion, 1 part anxiety, and 4 parts annoyance and 4 parts whatever that look Mr. Scott had when Captain Kirk told him to rewrite the laws of physics in 15 minutes.

"Um, look. I'm sure whatever is going on is really important here but I was kind of in the middle of something back home. Something involving restoring a destroyed planetary power system before life support on something completely fails and given how I only sort of LOOKED at it for about a minute and most of the best parts are under the sea I really don't have a lot of time for this right now. After I get it up sure, bring me and MY SEIBZEHN here and we'll step on ANYTHING you want but you just brought me and I'm not so useful for squishing things alone."

"I understand you want to make it personal by saying my dad is one of the people here but I do kind of know my family, even if we were separated most of my life. Really, just let me finish my project and just ask, home will probably be unbearably dull once I get the Zohar reactor working again anyways so it'll be a welcome diversion."

Her face turns a bit more irritated at the next part.

"Unless this is some sort of gag Mr. One Eyed Pirate King! I know you're the one who bonked me over the head and drug me out before I could get a better look at that system to get it back online despite the city crashing. Don't think for one minute that if this is some sort of gag and I find you behind it I won't BEAT THE EVER-LOVING SNOT OUT OF YOUR ONE REMAINING GOOD EYE!"

Later Maria is sitting by the water looking miserable. She's playing with her watch, pushing every damn button on the thing.

"Yeah yeah... No carrier. Seibzehn, I know you have to have power. Please come in. Dad had to have put in his own reactor or something. C'mon, you can't do this to me! You always come. Maybe some sort of jamming I need to figure out how to defeat. Oh who are you kidding Balthasar, the power grid is down and you're some place weird."

She buries her head in her knees and keeps pressing the button getting lower with every non-receptive beep she gets.

"Its life I guess."

She shrugs weakly.

"I thought it was over before I got knocked on the head and woke up here without anything resembling my life."

Well, it might not seem like much right now. But this place isn't actually that bad. [So far anyways.]

"Sword fighting? Archery? Monster hunting? None of those are really my thing. I had my Seibzehn just step on monsters. I don't even have firearms training let alone hand weapon training."

Well that's what this place is for, isn't it? To teach us all those things.

She lets out an irritated sigh.

"Get me my robot I'll squish as many monsters as you guys want. Last time someone tried to show me a whip I spent a week and a half in medical."

I would if I could, but last time I checked the gods hadn't given me any robot acquiring powers. I'm sure you'll be fine though as long as you're careful.

...Just maybe avoid the whips. Just in case.

She lets out an irritated sigh and rubs her forehead.

"......I'm going to bed and not coming out till this nightmare is over or I have a solid exit strategy."

Well you'll be well rested, that's for sure. Sweet dreams, darling.

"That does not fill me with confidence. I guess I'll have to find a burlap sack and some sort of firearm."

If it makes you feel better. I don't see how that'll help you any, though.

"There has to be some way out and back, I mean they pulled us here. Its all about finding the right threat or something. I don't know! Planning isn't my thing, squishing things with my robot is!"
