[Chloe is adjusting to the Barge by observing others; she's finally gotten into the swing of mealtimes. Approaching strangers is kind of what she does, so she slides onto the bench across from Sarah and gives her a shy smile.]

[Sarah looks up from Amanda's file at the newcomer and gives her a half-smile.]
No, by all means.
[She closes the manilla folder and pushes it aside, thinking it's probably rude to read when there's someone sitting across from her. She extends a hand across the table.]

Inmate. [She smiles a little, but it's sad, self-deprecating. Playing for sympathy is usually a safe option, and these wardens, they come here to help people, right? That just makes it even more appropriate.] I- I'm new. I've only been here for a day.
[She pauses, glancing at the file again before looking back at Sarah.] So, you get a file? No one told me that. What's in it?

It does sound invasive... [Chloe doesn't try to look closer at the file's contents. Sarah doesn't want her seeing, obviously. Although she's curious, it'll work out better if she doesn't push her luck. Instead, she bites her lip and looks down at her plate.]
How do you get so much information? Where does it all come from?

It's- [She pauses, drawing breath in with a little hiss.] Everything's so strange. The deck alone... It's like nothing I've ever seen. I never would have thought anything like this was possible.

Do you mind if I sit here?

I'm Sarah.

[She shakes the offered hand, then glances at the folder.]
What's that? Um, if you don't mind me asking.

That's my inmate's file.
[Turning her attention back to Chloe:]
If you're a warden, you'll get one when you're assigned to an inmate. If you're an inmate, well. Now you know.

Welcome aboard.
[She flips open the file, though she's doing a pretty good job of hiding the contents.]
You warden will get one telling them your personal history, some information about your personality, a detailed explanation of why you're here...
[A beat.]
I know it sounds invasive, but it's the best way to help you get out of here as quickly as possible.

[She closes the folder and leans forward, folding her arms on the table.]
What do you think of the Barge so far?
