[The video feed flickers on to reveal a well-dressed young lady of seventeen, hands folded in her lap demurely. On her right hand, she wears a wedding ring that looks distinctly expensive, but her own clothing is fairly plain, and she wears no other jewelry. She gives a small smile that doesn’t quite reach her eyes as she speaks, enunciating her words clearly with only a faint trace of a Russian accent.]Good day to you, everyone. I was hoping I could make a quick inquiry as to the nuances of enrolling in a university here. You see, back home I was top of my class in chemistry and engineering, and have a vested personal interest in the subjects as well. While I know I cannot take skills acquired here back with me, I simply cannot resist the siren song of science. If anyone can help me figure out how to get more instruction in these areas, I would be forever indebted to you, sincerely.
And although I know my world is quite different from your own places of origin, I believe there is much to be said for cooperation and the sharing of technologies. Indeed, the lack of that in my world has had nothing but ill consequences for it. If others engaged in similar forms of scientific studies or simply in the sciences in general would like, I think it could be nice to talk and perhaps get to know each other better – especially women scientists, as my world has precious few of those as of yet.
I know I've just arrived, so such concerns might seem premature. However, I think looking into things early is best for me; I truly don't know what to do with myself without something to work towards.
[She gives a helpless shrug, as if to say 'what can you do', and shuts off the feed.]
