[Alright, while Alex has used the video function several times already, this will be her first attempt at publicly addressing the network.

No pressure.]

U-Um... hello. My name is Alex Benedetto, and I arrived here at the beginning of the month.

[Hard to believe it's already going to be September. Time flies when you're forced into a war effort.] I'd like to thank everyone who's helped me out so far. It's been... really helpful in getting a grasp on what's really going on.

[Bit of a lie. She's still somewhat lost and in disbelief, but at least she's not showing it as much.]

I did have a question, though.

My doctor hasn't been brought here, and I was wondering if there were any among the Transports. The Initiative has been pretty helpful to me so far, but... It couldn't hurt to know of others I could visit.

Thanks.

[action for roommates]

[Alex turns off her device and heads towards the exit of her room. Though she didn't mind the cots, it was nice to be able to have a bed of her own, even if she had been used to living in the cramped apartment with Worick and Nicolas. Her new roommates seemed nice enough, and she hoped that they would all get along with each other.

Thinking that now would be a good time to do a bit of bonding, Alex finally left her bedroom proper to take a look around.]

Hello...?

Padme? Kara?

[Were either of them even in the apartment right now?]

Now? Um... alright. Where do you think we should meet?

[Being Ezio is suffering.]

I hope find mine soon.

How bout in a hallway? I could go down to yours-- you still in the apartments they gave us? It's quieter than the lobby.

Yeah, my room number is 805... I could wait for you outside the front door. Does that sound okay?

Perfect. Be there in ten minutes.

Yep, sounds about right.

I'm Halfpipe, by the way.

[And now Alex is just waiting outside her room. She doesn't usually... meet up with people like this, especially with the kind of conversation she just had. so she's actually a little nervous.]

It's nice to meet you, Halfpipe.

[He knocks gently. God knows if he's in any mental state to help somebody else-- but at least he can try.]

I'm sorry. Forgive me for not introducing myself. My name is Dana Scully. It's a pleasure to meet you.

You too, Alex. Whatcha need a doctor for, anyway?

[ He hadn't been expecting that response. ]

Like hallucinations, things?

[She opens the door soon after. Alex is the kind who won't turn down the help, really.] Hey...

Thanks, for being able to do this.

[It only gets worse.]

Yeah. It's... a side-effect, from another pill I was forced to take.

I have a few symptoms that I'd like to keep track of...

It's nice to meet you too, uh... Should I call you Dana, or Doctor Scully?

Sure. We, uh, we mental cases got to stick together, right?

No one can force you to take what you don't wanna.

[Maybe she did it to herself. To keep playing the part of the obedient, abused prostitute. It was either that, or...]

I would've been killed if I didn't.

[That's some word choice you got going on.] Uh... yeah. I guess we do.

[What does she really say to that?]

Come on, if you can't joke about it where you gonna be?

Um... [Joke about it. Joke about it... Okay, here goes!]

Yeah, I guess being around real people is better than the ones I, uh, hallucinate.

[God that didn't sound funny at all.]

Symptoms...?

[But Jack smiles anyway as he sits down.]

It's a good start. Maybe not the best, but a good start.

It's nothing... major.

[Yeah, it kind of is.]
