[01]- Arrival [VIDEO]
[The video flickers on and shows a woman with curly brown hair and she is clearly upset and a little bit in shock from her arrival. Such a big change so quickly is a little traumatic for her and she'd like to get to the bottom of it. She's incredibly shy, though so it takes her a while. She fidgets with the sling on her arm and takes a few deep breaths before she finally gathers her thoughts enough to speak her mind.]
Hello. I am...My name is Bennett Halverson and I...I'm from Washington, D.C. Which this clearly is not.
This place is...unfamiliar and whatever that machine says, I'm not a hero. Not a hero. I'm not super, not really.
[She sighs and finds it hard to look at the camera. Even though she just admitted she's not a hero, it should be pretty obvious she's not really a villain either.]
And...I have a job. A very, very important job back home, highly specialized and I can't miss work. There's things I need to accomplish. Things that need to be done. And only I can do them. Well, that's not true, I'm sure there's plenty but I enjoy my work and I like to keep busy with it so I...
[It takes her a lot of courage to say the next line so she visibly stiffens a little. She tries to make herself look a little more intimidating but that's sort of hard for a super nerd with a dead arm.]
It would be...highly advised that someone show me the way to get back home. Immediate action would be preferable.
[Bennett makes a slightly panicked look before she quickly shuts off the video. She's fairly certain she just made an ass of herself and is going to get herself murdered now. Thank you, paranoia!]

But look around you--looks like New York, doesn't it? However possible it is or not, what's in front of you is real.
I know it's overwhelming. Do you need help?
[voice]
Unless it's help getting out of here and back to where I was, no. I don't believe I do. Need help. But...but thank you.
[voice]
Be careful, alright? This machine brings in dangerous people sometimes.

A-actually, there are people who have some unusual abilities too. Like psychic abilities and things. I don't know what you think is possible and what isn't... well, it's a lot to take in. I'm probably not helping. [starting to ramble]
[voice]
That's rather unsettling considering I...
I'll find a way to defend myself.
