Video Diary 2

[rea_norton]

[The communicator flickers to life once more, and Andrea's confused face once more appears]

Uh, can anybody hear this? Am I really mad? Is this really an asylum? What was the farm? Where did it go? I didn't imagine it, did I?  
...Maybe I really am mad.

[Suddenly, a fierce look comes into her eyes]

I'm not staying here. I want to go home, RIGHT NOW.

[A new girl who arrived during the farm-test?] ... Andrea, I assume.

[rea_norton]

[she's startled, but she's going to do her best not to show it] Who are you? How do you know my name?

[fearless_hunter]

Samus Aran's the name, I heard about you from another resident of the asylum.

[rea_norton]

[and there's that word again. Asylum] Is... is this actually an asylum then? Am I mad? [last desperate hope] Taylor didn't employ you, did she?

[fearless_hunter]

Actually it is, or so it calls itself. [Sighs] No, you're not, and even if I'm one of the few adults around I don't work here, I'm a prisoner like you.

[rea_norton]

Prisoner? [she tosses her chin proudly] I am not going to be anyone's prisoner. I refuse. I'm leaving. I'll... I'm going to burn the place down. Then you can leave too.

[fearless_hunter]

... [Sighs again] Please, don't do anything stupid: we all tried to find a way out but this place is more dangerous and crazy than you'd ever imagin. Anyway, do you know how to use a computer?

[rea_norton]

Yeah well, you've obviously not tried hard enough. Is there a ventilation system here? And crazy? You should come to my school.
[the last question pulls her up short] A computer? I can type and get on the internet and stuff... why?

[fearless_hunter]

I'm a bounty hunter... infiltrating in space pirates's airship's my speciality, exploring hostile worlds and escaping for self-destroying buildings or planets it's what I do most of the time... still I couldn't find a way out. And I tried, believe me. [Shakes her head] That's not going to work, still I'm quite curious about your school, care to give me more informations?

[Sighs] I'm looking for hackers or people expert enough to help me while I try to access this place's main system, Linda.

[rea_norton]

You'd want Polly for that. I could hold and read an instruction manual though?
My school...[she laughs] One man said it was a school for delinquents and playground terrorists... we were just a bit loose with tthe law. We do what we like, when we like. Anarchy. I like kidnapping. Kidnapping and fire. I could take this Linda hostage? I'm good at that. Chop off her ears... slice open her chest whilst she's still awake, watch her scream in agony... [her eyes have become unfocused. She's fantasising about torturing this 'Linda' person]

[fearless_hunter]

I don't... need that, thank you.
I see... [Writes down few notes about how Andrea could be eventually dangerous for the other residents] I'm afraid that'd be impossible.

[rea_norton]

[that snaps her out of her daydream] Why?
[ooooh she does have psychotic tendancies, does Rea]

[fearless_hunter]

[Sorry, girl.] Linda's not a real person, not as far as we know, she seems to be the computer that controls this place.
[She's taking note]

[rea_norton]

[jaw drops] A computer controls this place? Well, computers are easy to break. I can fix it. Where is it?

[fearless_hunter]

We couldn't find any access terminal around and... it wouldn't be so simple anyway. We all come from different worlds, no one assures us we'd find ourselves home after attacking Lina, that's why I'm tryin to collect informations before doing anything that could put us all in danger.

[rea_norton]

[she glares through the communicator] Well, I am NOT going to sit here doing nothing in a place I don't know, under the authority of someone or something I've never seen or heard whilst YOU collect information.
I am going to escape. Have you tried the drains?
