[ In the wake of the first tremors, Maria looks harried. Her hair is a mess and the video is shaking. ]

Listen to me very carefully. We need to get out of here! Whatever they have waiting for us out there is nothing on this.

[You likely won't see any visible change over the tiny communicator, Maria, but Sharon's demeanor has certainly changed. Do her captors know about her past? Even that? She's careful to keep her tone flat, almost friendly. She doesn't want her captors to know how close they are to an old sore spot. Not that she has it anymore.]
