[So this hasn't been a traumatic last few days at all. Still Sky assumes it's better to at least find something to do than sit around and think about how she isn't home. Or about how people were just killed on earth. What she's supposed to do? She doesn't know. She amusingly assumes to herself that at least no one will need her to cook any books here.]

Ugh, hi. I'm Skyler. [Because while only a handful here are associated with her husband, she would rather leave him out of this.]

I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do. [And this is already starting to sound like an AA introduction or something.] I'm a mom back home. It's the one thing I'm really good at.

[It's not entirely true, but she doesn't really know what else to say, and who needs an accountant in space?]

I like to write, and I don't really have powers. Or know how to fight. Well. [She doesn't want to think about the fight with the kitchen knife, so instead she just breathes and nods.]

I'm not sure what I could really do here, but I'm good with children. I have two of my own, and I'd like to help if I can.

It doesn't mean someone can't be there for when they do want it. [She knows how kids are. She can't force someone into doing something, but that doesn't mean there shouldn't be something offered.]

I know.

A lot of them are from worlds where they've been hurt or had to fight, so building trust is key. They're good kids, though.

[ Even if some know how to maim and kill a person in under five seconds. ]

Trauma changes a person, but it doesn't make them bad. [Of anyone Sky can attest to that.]

You can check with the clinic for work. I don't work there, but the situation up here is... complicated. They might need anyone they can get.

[ They can't maintain survival up here forever. Eventually, they're going to have to find a way to descend. ]

Someone from the clinic contacted me. Seems my skill as an accountant can help them with their supply needs. [Which will keep her mildly busy for now. She still wants to see what she can do with children.]

Inventory, yeah. [ She nods, even if Skyler can't see it. ] Most are planning supply runs, so we might be due for one hell of a delivery load.

[ She'll take an overabundance over the little they have right now. ]
