Mr. Wilson! Of course I remember you! But please call me Winnie. Miss Prismall is so formal.

And yes I'm perfectly well! Got attacked by wolves but I made it out unharmed. My weapons did very little against them so mostly I just ran. I really do hate depending on others.

But I digress. What about you?

[sequestrated]

Something about you makes me feel formal. But if you're Winnie, then I'm just Simon. Please.

You got the wolves, did you? I've heard a little about that.

FROM: wilson.simon@cdc.org
I'm afraid I got stuck with the sharks. But I made it through.

I'm really very glad to hear that you did too. I was concerned.

[soulsrob]

Just Simon then. I can do that!

And yes we got wolves. Made of mist. It was very unusual. What kind of place has mist wolves?

FROM: prismall.winnifred@cdc.org
Oh yes, the sharks we ate at the mess hall? Did you guys bring those?

I'm glad to see you're alright too. I dont think we suffered any casualties, fortunately enough. Maybe we can do this after all.

[sequestrated]

I have no doubt that we will. [Or rather, he has no doubt that the goal will be accomplished. But whether or not the two of them will live? Hm.]

I can't say I personally brought a shark. I was more trying to avoid them. A lot. Can I just ask - who have you been talking to?

[soulsrob]

[Mostly trying to avoid them... Much like her with the wolves, but she's also perfectly aware of her own abilities. What about him?]

Do you know how to fight or handle a weapon?

There's an American named Tony in my rover thing, I've been talking for him quite a bit. He seems to be from a much further time than I am. Am I starting to sound strange?

[sequestrated]

[He hasn't started going through the database yet, so he doesn't know what she can do. He assumes she has no skills, like him.]

You said "you guys". It was rather like being back home. Don't worry about it, though, please. You're going to have to learn if you want to stay alive here.

I can't handle a weapon. Actually, I got mine taken away. Not my finest hour.

[soulsrob]

Adaptability is the true obstacle in survival.

[Wow Winnie that almost sounded smart.]

Taken away? You should really learn how to fire it at least. Do you want help?

[sequestrated]

It's not that I can't use one, though obviously practice would help. I can't use one in combat. There are differences, as I'm sure you appreciate. Besides, I still need to get it back.

[Which is to say, Simon panicked on the ice, and is lucky he didn't kill half his group.]

Are you telling me you can use one of those guns? I'm impressed. [Such underestimation, Simon. Wow.]

[soulsrob]

Who took it? Could you ask nicely?

[Or winnie will ask for you. First person wins??]

Yes I can! I mean, I can use a pistol and the smaller gun isn't so different. I think. I still need to practice a lot with it though. Do you want to practice with me?

[sequestrated]

Winnie, you surprise me. I had you down as an embroidery type.

I'm not sure I have enough cartridges. If I could get more for the asking, presumably they wouldn't have given us so few to begin with.

[Which is to say, Simon doesn't want to ask them for anything.]

FROM: wilson.simon@cdc.org
I should ask nicely. [But that guy was scary.]

[soulsrob]

I do enjoy embroidery sometimes. Do you want to learn that too?

FROM: prismall.winnifred@cdc.org

I think it's a good idea. You can do it! Confronting who took your gun, I mean.

[sequestrated]

Are you offering to teach me? I can darn already. [Born 1986. His family are the absolute worst.] Realistically, you're right that there are other things I should be learning.

More immediately useful things involving guns, yes. [And their retrieval.]
