Hello, this is Gabrielle. A name in return would be a good starting point. Let us see how we go from there?

[gimp]

[ (unsure) ]

Are you on the ship?
Can't say I've ever met a Gabrielle round here before
Then again, I don't know everyone, I guess.
Proper sorry if we've met before.

[ there's a bit of a pause. ]

Newt.

[eripui]

No, I'm not, unfortunately. We're trying to find you, and have been trying for a long time, Newt.

You seem very kind.

[gimp]

How long?
Are you with those Van Rijn people?

Thanks, I guess.
Being a slinthead doesn't get you much in this world.

[eripui]

I've been here for almost twenty years. And yes, I'm part of this team. We're all very committed to finding you and making this right.

A slinthead? What is this? It means nothing to me.

[gimp]

Right.
See, the last time someone said that to me, we found them all dead the next morning.
Course that wasn't *here*, but sorry if I'm not ready to jump into your bloody arms quite yet.
Can you tell me anything 'sides "we're here to help you?"
