00? ( video. ) not sarissa, tho.

( There is a woman on screen who looks remarkably unconcerned.

She also looks familiar, possibly, given that the family resemblance between Sarissa and her grandmother is staggering. Notable differences – this woman is obviously wearing something a little more era appropriate for this place, but still not quite right, in faded green and brown cut to match World War II era demands, all practicality. A scar, or an injury in the process of becoming a scar, cuts down from her left cheekbone towards her jaw, and it creases into something like a dimple when she speaks.

Between the knuckles of her fore and index fingers rests a cigar, white smoke curling upwards and blooming outwards like a drop of ink twisting through water. Her accent, when she speaks, is markedly Greek. )


I have always heard America called the “Land of Opportunity.” Opportunity— ( A small gesture with her free hand, palm flat and facing down - so-so. )

Maybe. Feet draggers, I think, more likely. And poor filing, ah? That is definite.

( There is a little smile, though it’s not a very mirthful thing, as she picks up a file. ) I was giving the paperwork for a Sarissa Theron. They insist it’s mine, but— no. If anyone knows this woman, I think it better these papers get back to safe hands.

( Her smile widens, sharpens. )

My name is Eunike. For the record? This is— cock and balls. Bullshit. Dragging us from our own wars, to fight theirs? That is convenient, no? Cowardice, I think.


( Note: this is related to the Dial Straits plot. Sarissa ported out on the 1st March and this is set on the 3rd – for those two days Sarissa’s device would have been disconnected. Now is back in action, but in the wrong hands. )

No, we don't have a responsibility to it. We don't get anymore say in where we're born, then we do in being brought here.

[Abigail shakes her head.]

You don't know me at all. I am grateful. I'm grateful I don't have to always be afraid. I know dangerous things happen here, but it's not all the time. We can feel things other than fear here. I'm grateful for the freedom we have. It's amazing. I can go outside here. I can have a job. I'm grateful for every day I get to be alive. I'm grateful for all the things I have here, that I never would have had otherwise.

I didn't have it where I was from. There was no war where I lived.

Because I had no other choice.

You're assuming I was alive when I was brought here.
