The visual feed clicks on, showing Rose sitting down in a field. The weather was bright and sunny, something that Rose had missed. It was the field that adjoined the house she grew up in, over five hundred years ago. Rose couldn't believe that something so significant from her early life found itself into Taxon; it was the place where she went to

Kate gazed out at the beautiful field, certain she'd never seen it before in her explorations of Taxon.

"Hi, I'm Kate Beckett. What a beautiful view you have."

[Visual] Kate! :3

Rose glanced up at the voice of the woman, smiling when she saw her in the tablet view screen.

"Hello, Kate. I'm Rose." Then she gestured around. "Mm, it's a lovely place. I'm so glad I found it here. I spent a lot of my childhood playing in it."

[Visual] yay!

Kate nodded with a smile. This must have been the item granted to Rose by the aliens. Kate had come to think of the items as "consolation prizes" - basically the aliens' way of saying Sorry we kidnapped you and stuck you here, have something from home! Still, she couldn't complain much. She was glad to have her bike.

"I was just going to take my bike out for a ride around town. Can I stop by and see it in person?"

[Visual] hee!

Rose was just about getting used to the idea of being kidnapped by aliens and the field being here certainly helped her to settle in. Besides, she wanted to share it with others, so Rose wasn't going to say no to anyone. Apart from Katherine.

"Of course you can. I'd welcome the company. I don't know a lot of people here so please, do stop by."

"Great! See you in a few."

Kate checked the map and found a route to the field, then turned off her tablet and threw it in her backpack, before hopping on her motorcycle. She flew through the streets of Taxon, then slowed as she approach what was obviously a new addition to the town. She took off her helmet and approached the woman with a grin.

"Hi Rose. It's even more beautiful than on the tablet."

"Hello, Kate," she replied softly, returning the grin. "Thank you for saying so. And it's good to meet you in person."

Rose gestured around the vast field before turning her attention back to Kate. "We can go for a walk if you like."
