[Video 01] UN: Delilah Dirk - Arrival
[What appears on camera is a number of things in very short order. Someone is very clearly coming to grips with the technology. There is a flash of skirt, booted leg, of a woman's face tanned from a long time under the sun, and a mass of chestnut hair. Finally, a pair of deep brown eyes focus on it.]
What the bloody hell is this thing?
[She hasn't been pulled from any universe before - first time for her - and in any event, the technology is so advanced it's just one step away from magic for her. But it's not magic, because that would be silly.]
Is it on? That's what the light means, doesn't...? Right.
[She steps back a bit, moving this way and that as if trying to arrange the right angle. And then she begins.]
What the hell was any of that? I'd say someone slipped me some rather potent hash-hish if it weren't for that beach and those...odd ducks who welcomed me.
[She won't mention waking up naked. That had been an experience she wouldn't like to repeat. Or the part where she'd tried to run and had stumbled about like a toddler. None of that gets mentioned. Frankly, she's sitting at the junction of freaked out and amazed.]
So where am I? Who's responsible? And where the hell is my boat?
[She'll find the flying ketch soon enough - it just wasn't moored when the tide came in.]

I want to say.... better in some ways? Like there's all kinds of advanced technology kind of stuff? Like the uh, things we're talking on right now? We don't have stuff exactly like that when I'm from, but there are some phones that come pretty close. And... the medical advancements, too.
( This is stuff he's learned thanks to having friends here like Diarmuid, who is a monk from the 13th century..... They had it pretty rough back then with all that. Peter frowns though, because it's not all great. )
But the planet's kind of... in really bad shape, so that's not cool. People didn't take care of it.

Sounds right. Which is a pity.
