[Now this machine is completely different from either of the communicators that she had been given before. More complex in design, but thankfully simpler, at least in her opinion. Much few buttons to navigate. The person coming onto the video is pale, long dark hair—sorely in need of a good washing—falling about her face, left eye covered by an eyepatch looks a bit worse for wear, if usable. She’s smiling, unsure, but hoping she comes across as genial.]

Ah…hello? I don’t know how many people there are here already, but um…it’s nice to meet you all. My name is Miranda and…I’m not quite sure how these crimes are possible. I haven’t quite had the time to be a criminal and some of these ah…incidents were not intentional in the least. But as I doubt there is much I can do to change the mind of the wardens…do they um…allow us to do things...on our own?

[It’s been so long since she had a good bath and even longer since she had any kind of privacy, but if this place is anything like where she’s been before, she doesn’t expect that. She's trying to sound calm and easy, but her voice wavers just a bit.] If so, I-I would be very grateful if someone would direct me to the nearest washroom...an-and the stairs if you don't mind. I can't seem to find any and the door won't open.

[Someone maybe woke up floating on the island.]

[She wants to learn her new surroundings, so completely different from where she's been recently that it's a bit overwhelming at first. She stands and looks and doesn't know which way to go in. But once she's moving it's like she has to see everything. She is moving all over the dome, stopping at the various places that she has access to. There's a beach, a library, a museum, and even a store full of animals! And she will be definitely taking advantage of the hot springs. The spa seems a little too...fancy for her, but hot water and a good soak help her feel a lot better about the situation.

It's when she sees the graveyard that she takes a pause, standing at the end of the area, but not entering. Considering how vast this place is, she's not surprised as she should be--not anymore--to see one, but it makes this place all the more...real. This isn't a dream. It's not another experiment by Val or the scientists. If it was, there would be so many more gravestones, she would think.]

	I never saw one. Doubt it, but you never know. Didn't realize that dinosarus was a thing until comin' here neither. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I didn't think they would be. [She seems a bit disappointed by that answer. Of course there wouldn't be reason for a unicorn to be a prison. She adjusts her hair a bit, out of habitual nervousness.]

I um, saw the stables but...hadn't realized that they held actual horses. It seemed...very luxurious for a prison. Even one with a beach... Is everything like this here?

	[Mal nods.] Luxurious is right. Don't think anything on the core planets is even like this. Except maybe prisons for rich folk. The ones who get caught doing corrupt things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She has never seen a "rich" prison, although she would assume it's something nobles and royalty might be sentenced to--if they were ever sentenced.

But the words he uses make her wonder...]

Excuse me, do you mean "core planets" as in ah...the ones in our solar system--um, I mean, the ah--well I don't actually know if there's another word for it, I'm sorry. The group of planets with the Earth?

	[Mal shakes his head.] We're well past Earth-that-was an' her solar system. The 'Verse has a few systems in her now. Lots of terraformed planets. Best ones are at the center and known as the core. Best ones in terms of resources I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She's trying to following the terms he's using, but Miranda is far from a scientist or even an astronomer. The overall point of his words make sense, though.]

So the systems with the best...planets to use are in the center? Does that include the Earth? Is it...is it still there?

[She's seen enough barely livable areas now, and versions of Earth where no humans are left. She wonders if his home is like that.]

	Somethin' like that. [He shakes his head though.] Earth-that-was is long gone. We been pushin' out since before I was born. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gone? [Even on Alpha Omega the Earth wasn't gone. They fled because they were chased before they could even think of going there. For it to be just gone...] Oh my goodness. Is it--Was it--D-Did someone do something to it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action cptn_tightpants 2016-08-03 01:13 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure it's somewhere. Just used up. Ain't no use even tryin' to make yer way back. It's mostly a legend now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You may the Earth sound like a soiled handkerchief. [Which is somewhat offensive, but more disturbing.] How could they let it get that way> (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action cptn_tightpants 2016-08-07 04:45 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I'm sure she were far more useful than a handkerchief. It's just the way humans are. We use things without thinkin' about how it'll affect us later on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action allthetimekept 2016-08-10 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	That's not true! [Well that certainly came out a bit more loudly than it should have. Her face flushes and she looks down, hands gesturing a bit as she tries to recover.] N-Not of everyone, I mean. Humans aren't all that selfish. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action cptn_tightpants 2016-08-14 12:15 pm UTC (link)
	[Mal looks up a little surprised.] I ain't meanin' to upset you. It's jus' how things is. At least among those who have plenty. They don't think about what it's like to not have anythin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action allthetimekept 2016-08-14 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sorry that was very rude. [She says it quickly because she doesn't want to offend him that way.] You weren't upsetting me it's just--um, I can't agree with that. There may be some who have plenty enough to be that careless, but most people don't and they want to take care of what they have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action cptn_tightpants 2016-08-15 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	[Mal shrugs, not exactly bothered by it.] Or perhaps you come from a much better world than I do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action allthetimekept 2016-08-16 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe...but I like believing the best in people, when I can. [She's been through some very terrible people. Like the ones who created them.] And you're from that world. You don't seem um...to be the way you've described. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action cptn_tightpants 2016-08-17 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	[He laughed.] I'm a mean old man. Ain't nobody here believes me. I take care of my own. But we live on a spaceship. It's easier to be careful when resources is scarce. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action allthetimekept 2016-08-22 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	[That makes her laugh. She's met her share of people who think themselves mean, or gruff, but overall, she's say they were good people.] If no one believes you, maybe you're harder on yourself than you should be. Not that I think you'll believe someone you've just met about that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action cptn_tightpants 2016-08-22 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	[Mal shrugs.] Could be. Could be I just run with a particularly forgivin' crowd. Don't matter too much. Not here at least. Any questions I can answer before I take Serenity back to the stables? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action allthetimekept 2016-08-28 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	[Miranda's eyes go a bit wide and she bows her head a bit in apology.] I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have kept you for so long. If you need to leave, please don't let me hold you back any longer. I lost track of how long we've been standing here. Thank you so much for your help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action cptn_tightpants 2016-08-30 12:54 pm UTC (link)
	No need for sorrys. [He chuckles.] I'm sure we'll be seeing each other around. It ain't that big of a dome. [He gives a subtle wave of his hand before walking over to the side and swinging a leg up over Serenity.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
