[She looks like hell thanks to exhaustion, but she figures that adding another project to the pile is exactly what she needs to keep from going crazy. So she reaches out to the network at large, hoping other people are listening and are open to working together.]

My name is Karen Page.

[There's a pause as she tries to figure out the best way to address her concern.]

I know none of us were expecting to be here for long, but the fact is there's no telling when we'll be able to go back home. There may not even be a home to go back to. I know people have discussed working on the fabricators, but is anyone considering the best way to repair the pool? It can't be sanitary to just leave the water in the condition it's in now.

I've been drawing up ideas, but I know this is something better worked on in a group.

[Really, she just wants a way to meet more people and figures this is a way to do that and be productive at the same time.]

I've spent a significant amount of my life on ships of varying types and classes, yes.

[ a beat. ]

No. I don't know what that is.

[subplot]

Space travel sounds like it's something that's common in your world. Do you mind if I ask what planet you're from?

[warfares]

Inter-planetary travel has been commonplace for millenia. [ Hyperspace travel is marginally more recent, but she is not wrong in her assessment. Space-travel is old hat to him. ]

Chandrila. [ He pronounces it "Chan-dril-ah". ]

[subplot]

It's a beautiful name, but I've never heard of it before.

[But there's no telling where it's actually located, if inter-planetary travel has been common for that long where he's from. Which leaves her curious -]

Do you know where Earth is in relation to your planet?

[warfares]

That name is unfamiliar. [ a pause, considering. ]

Ur-tha is a planet located in the Outer Rim territories. Chandrila is a Core world. The distance would be considerable.

[subplot]

Do you know if we're in the Outer Rim now? The planet I see when I'm in the observation deck doesn't look familiar.

[It's a big question, maybe. But if he has experience with space travel, maybe he does know where they might be located. It's a long shot, but one she feels comfortable looking stupid in order to get information on.]

[warfares]

That or Wild Space. [ ㅡ which, as the name would suggest, is vast and largely uncharted. ]

Given that we've yet to encounter traffic, it's likely that wherever we are, it's remote.
