[when the feed turns on, a young woman appears on screen. she looks a little tired, but that's expected after what had just happened. she is sure to straighten out the netbook before speaking.]

I'd like to start an army, or something like it. I know we barely know each other, and I'm sure some of you prefer to work alone, but I feel like we could work together on this.

[she pauses, thinking for a moment.]

If this works, we can come of with something more planned and our efforts won't be as scattered.

[a brief smile,]

Anyone interested?

We may not have time to develop a lot of trust with others.

[but he was right, and she knew she had to start somewhere. except, she didn't really trust a lot of people here, which could and will be an issue.]

I want to get out of here. I know a lot of people do, too.

We all have better things to do back where we come from, but knowing who you're dealing with? It's better than being blind to who you're letting in. Next thing you know, there's a knife in your back.

[THANKS, KAREN. Not saying it will happen, but who knows? Alex likes to be careful, to be certain.]

[she doesn't speak for a moment as she pieces together what he's saying. she knew jumping into this sort of thing would be an issue with many, and trust would be an entirely different realm, but she had to try.]

Sometimes we have to deal with betrayal.
