[ The video flickers on to a teen girl in loose black robes. At a glance, it might look like she's offering the camera a cocky half-smile, but a closer inspection will show that the expression is an illusion, caused by a small scar at the corner of her mouth. ]

Where are you from? I don't believe I caught it...

[falsesmile]

Kesh. It's an isolated planet.

[huntergames]

[ Another pause.

No, she's not getting it. ]

You don't mean another planet, do you?

[falsesmile]

[huntergames]

Inter-what?

I'm... I'm so sorry, I'm not sure I follow. You're... human, aren't you?

[falsesmile]

I'm getting that question a lot, but yes.

[huntergames]

No, I don't get it at all!

This was definitely not covered in her military education. ]
