The sound of hurried feet and worried voices appeared with a pop. Two pair of predominant, heavy steps seemed to come from right next to her.

She clumsily pushed herself to her side in time to see two guards walk away from her. "Damn, she's heavy." one says to the other.
Her short, purple hair waved in a salty wind as she stumbled to her feet, leaning against the nearest post. Her eyes quickly scanned every face around her. No one has prosthetics? What’s this interference? Where am I? Having visually inspected everyone in sight, she turned to the boat and in doing so finds that she has regained slight control over her legs. Wooden boats? Such old technology. The crowd of people around her seemed just as confused as she was.
What happened? The last I remember, I was on route in an A-2 loadout with Batou and Togusa. Memory is.. She paused. Damn. Corrupt.
As the crowd from the boat thinned out, she made out her surroundings for the first time. It took her by slight surprise. How is this possible?
She reached for her M-23 and looked it over. Damaged. No ammo. She put it away and reached for her pistol. At least you're okay. Two clips. She looked back at her surroundings. I have a feeling it won't be very easy to find ammo around here.
Feeling her pistol in hand finally gave her slight comfort in her surroundings. She slumped to the ground.
Stay focused, Motoko.
[ooc: This will most likely be the only time you'll see the black-box terminal. It is a hassle to code and a hassle to read. It also sets the groundwork for what the reader should assume happens if/when Motoko goes offline (only with less errors). The terminal console is loosely based off of weak visual clues from the series/movies of how Motoko starts up, then unfortunately modified a fair bit to fit her introduction. Any Kusanagi fans that I've angered, I'm sorry. You'll never see it again.]
[Also ooc: You're not supposed to realize this is Motoko until the last line which is supposed to be the dramatic reveal. The script would make for a much better movie, I'm sure.]
[Third ooc: For those not familiar with Ghost in the Shell, all Section 9 members (such as herself) can communicate with each other through thought via "voice coms". As there is no other Section 9 members in Rivelata, she is simply broadcasting into the static.]
