[1st Dive] Video

[sisterutopia]

[When the video starts up, there's still some purple smoke floating in the air. The camera tilts, and it shows a figure that might be vaguely familiar to some residents, for one reason or another: Lanky, bad posture, wearing an old-fashioned diving suit tailored to fit a young girl. As the camera is apparently put down somewhere, the bed in the room can be seen. On top of it is a small, skinny doll with a bubble-shaped head with little toy arm-spikes. Soon, though, a real helmet and real arm-spike equipped gloves are set down next to it, and a girl of about 16 or 17 hops up onto the bed. When she speaks, it seems like she's addressing the machine, but she isn't quite looking at it, either.]

Well... It certainly looks just the way I left it. I couldn't find any of them, though.

[She gives a quick, short chuckle, which doesn't sound as convincingly lighthearted as she meant it to sound. She then finally looks to the camera, wearing an equally unconvincing smile.]

I... don't suppose there's anyone I know here, is there?

Always, but...

Well. I guess either way it would be better than starving.

No danger of that. Unless an event's on.

That's... comforting?

[Whoops. This is what happens when you spend too much time talking with Alex Kralie, Mark.]

Sorry. I didn't mean it like it probably sounded. The house takes care of us, and it's pretty reliable, just...stay alert. That's all. And don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. There's a lot of surveillance equipment here--the cameras, the communicators--and it can be awful, yeah, but it's also a tool.

[She manages to smile again, a bit more confidently this time.]

I'll be alright. If there's one thing I've learned from my mother it's how to use surveillance to my advantage.

Rapture's favorite pastime, isn't it?

Yes, unfortunately. Though, the way Mr. Ryan spoke you would think that the surface was no better.

Oh, the mysterious Mr. Ryan.
