[ If the first question you have when you see Lorna is "does she spend all her money at Hot Topic?" then you're asking the right questions. She's got on an asymmetrical leather jacket with metal spikes on the sleeve, black leather pants with straps that kept her collection of metal knives secure, and bright green hair from root to tip. The green theme is one she's clearly fully on board with. Accenting the bright green hair she's also got some deep green lipstick on and sparkling green nail polish. To fully tie it all together she's also wearing a metallic green headpiece. Nobody can ever say she's not coordinated. ]

Hello fellow inmates. Since I'm brand new here I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Polaris. [ Every word she speaks is practically dripping with sarcasm and she's got an equally sardonic smile to match. ] Just wanted to see how everyone was doing in our beautiful underwater prison today. [ Because that is exactly what it is. A prison. Nobody was going to convince her otherwise without some damn impressive skills. For a moment she looks like that might be all she actually has to say. Then she leans back and folds her arms over her chest. ]

Actually, I've got a question. I've been looking through these archives and looks like some of you have been here a long time. I get it, it's got some nice amenities. Love the view. But I gotta ask, how'd you all just collectively give up on trying to find a way out? [ And with that question she does, rather abruptly, end things there. ]

[ Well, this guy is special isn't he? ] Like I said, nice view. But I don't like being trapped places.

[You really have no idea, Lorna.]

Few do, and yet here we are, muddling on about our days, dreaming of escape and with nothing to show for it.

Seems like a lot of people are content to just stay here.

Yes, well, some of us have nothing else. I wouldn't have chosen a defunct research facility at the bottom of the ocean, but freedom isn't free of annoyance.

You think this is freedom?

Yes. I think anywhere I can choose to celebrate my mornings with eggs Benedict on brioche with hollandaise and au lait rather than unleashed from a box to do someone else's bidding 'freedom'. Do you not agree, Miss Dane?

I get your point but it doesn't change the fact that we're trapped here with little to no information on why and how.

And I'm not contesting that point. You know, those who were here before us never devised it either, and while I realize that is likely because we haven't been here before, I don't believe it's going to be a simple process.
