[When the pod opens in the Bay, it takes a while for the young woman inside to even wake up. She shifts, groans, and soon everything comes into focus. She's staring at a cave ceiling. What happened...?]

[When she moves, she notices the box settled on her stomach, and how her rifle is stuffed into the pod next to her. Sitting up she opens the box and goes through what's inside to find the necklace, video phone, money, and note explaining where she was... Genessia? But how? All she could remember was going to sleep in her bunk. Was this a dream?]

[It had to be. She was in full uniform. She didn't go to sleep in full uniform, that's for sure.]

[Maria gets out of the pod, her boots protecting very well against the water. Reading the instructions on how to use the phone, she tries to make an announcement.]

[The screen shows a blonde-haired girl wearing a red beret and square-framed glasses. She has green eyes, and it's clear to see the butt end of a rifle from over her shoulder. The rest of the details of her uniform are unclear.]
