Ah... does anybody know why we're under lockdown?

[brief pause]

It's rather a shock to arrive here and be told that you can't go and see what's supposedly your new home... I don't suppose there are any windows I can look out of?

Jeez, this is incredible. I can't believe they keep bringing in more new people during a time like this!

[nolongerlittle]

Well, it's not my fault I was brought here at the wrong time.

[sara_ringwalt]

I didn't say it was, did I?

This place is incredible, endangering people like this. I wish I could kick the prime minister in the ass.

[nolongerlittle]

Maybe they didn't realise whatever it is would be this bad when they decided to bring me?

What is happening, anyway?

[inallofus]

Um... I can't see. It's dark...

I don't know...if there are any windows?

Audio

[nolongerlittle]

There's some emergency lighting in the corridors outside my room... But I find it odd that an underwater ship wouldn't have any windows.

Audio

[inallofus]

W-We're really underwater? I thought they lied...

[nolongerlittle]

I'd presume so; maybe when this lockdown is over you'll be able to find a window and see for yourself.

[father_francis]

I wish I could tell you what's going on, but I haven't the foggiest! Thanks to this unannounced lockdown, I can't find the child I'm supposed to look after!

You must be in the Institute, yes? I don't think the Institute has windows, though the rest of the ship does.

[nolongerlittle]

A child to look after? If they're in the institute, I could check on them for you.

Ah, that would make sense. I found it difficult to believe they wouldn't have any windows with their level of technology.

[father_francis]

No, no, she wouldn't be at the institute; she's been in Halcyon for a while now. But thank you, son, that's very kind. I'll just have to keep searching for her.

[nolongerlittle]

Good luck. Let's hope this blows over quickly.
