[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?]

[ He hadn't been expecting that response. ]

Like hallucinations, things?

[It only gets worse.]

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

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.

They can't get you here.

[ He won't let them. ]

It's alright, he's... been dead, for a while. And I haven't taken those pills, but there's still withdrawal.

[beardedflannel]

You reckon you can get past the symptoms?

[ She's come so far already by the sounds of things. ]

I think with enough time, I'll be able to...

[beardedflannel]

If somehow you can't, you find me. I'll see what I can do to help.

[collectedloot]

Thanks, I'll... I'll remember that.

Good. I hope that you do.
