This was not Serenity.
This was not her home.
This was…somewhere new.
River knew it, of course. She didn't even have to watch the video. She just knew. "Stupid meddling scientists, messing with things they have no idea." She could sense others too, all trapped here, some with horrible intentions. River was now in the same situation as the rest of these people, but with one major difference. She knew that what was said on the little tv was true, she didn't even have to watch it.
Most people here were still so unsure about everything. River knew where her room was, without looking at the paper. Simon was not here. The Captain was not here. No one from Serenity was here, she knew because she couldn't sense them. She didn't hear Kaylee's laughter, or sense the tranquility that came from being around Inara. She knew she was alone here. No, not alone. There were people, but she didn't know them, even if she knew their secrets.
They called to her across the night as she made her way from the welcome center towards the apartment building. Her steps were graceful and careful as she made her way. Some might think she was some sort of dancer, and River did love to dance.
She was upset, that Simon wasn't here but she knew that it would do no good to complain about it. It wouldn't make Simon come, not Simon, or the others. She was here for a purpose, they all were. River was just more accepting of that fact than most of the others. She pushed open the door of the apartment building and stepped inside.
It was eerily quiet, though there was definitely some life about.
