[It hadn't taken her long to figure out the phone, but even if she knew how to use it she was determined to wait. Maybe she would run into someone in person and get better answers about where she was.

She was damn sure it wasn't where she was supposed to be.

Her attempt to leave the room was good until the door was about to close behind her and a red blob appeared out of nowhere. A quick slap didn't deter it and she quickly retreated back behind the door for a temporary reprieve.

Time for answers.]

Where am I? 'Cause this wasn't where I was before that dick interfered so I don't know why I'm here. [She has places to be. Kind of. The phone moves back a little and it's obvious that Jo is leaning against a door that has something banging against the other side.]

And what's with the red blubber? [Sooner or later it's going to get underneath the door, isn't it?]

I'm Jo. [A shrug.]

Did you notice anything about them?

[hackr]

Well, they were sentient, only wanted to suck your face, weirdly. I think they did funny things to people who had the misfortune of having that kind of contact, but I'm not really sure what happened. Just acting out of the ordinary, I guess, but I don't know what their ordinary would be.

[ She shakes her head. ]

Sorry. I'm still trying to wrap my head around all of this.

[knifecollecting]

[That sounds horrible.]

I'll keep them away from my face. [She just got here. There's no way she's getting into trouble - if she can help it.]

Thanks for the info.

[hackr]

No problem, Jo. [ She smiles warily, more at the situation itself than the other young woman. ]

There's a machine that I'm more worried about, a machine that gives and sometimes punishes everyone here.

[A shrug.]

The one that used to be run by the scientists? [Someone mentioned that earlier.]
