[The video comes on in the middle of Teresa pushing some hair back from her face. Her dirty, bloodied, roughed-up face, although she doesn't look injured. Just like she had been recently, and hasn't cleaned up since.]
[Scruffy as she might be, she presents a very pleasant smile.]
Well! That was refreshing. I hope we didn't worry too many of you. I think I may have gotten a little carried away.
I never gave much thought to the nature of our little habitat here, but it's nice that we have the ruins. They're much better than the training grounds we had back home. At least no one here cares when those old piles of rubble come down... ah.
[A piece of which she picks from a length of hair at her shoulder, and then flicks away]
Damn it, it's going to take ages to get the muck out now.
You know... Priscilla had the right idea when she said that one shouldn't hold grudges. I've been the focus of a few of them myself, and as flattering as the attention might be, I could do without it. Is that kind of petty fighting as common on other worlds? Because there's enough of it on mine to cover the rest of yours for a while.
...I could also use a tailor, if anyone's up for the job.
[Private to Deneve]
Deneve. We need to talk. Now, I'll do it here or in person, but either way I expect a response from you.
You're a smart girl. You should be able to figure out what this is about.
