01 || River Tam || Day 45
[ The shot opens with two small toy dinosaurs, standing facing each other on the railing of a wooden bridge.
A young woman's voice begins talking: ]
We've played this game before. We are veterans in the sport.
Perhaps it was an oversight to bring a professional lab rat to a new lab. Perhaps she broke their teeth before they put her down she can't remember.
There's something in the water.
[ The camera angle shifts - here is a face full of an older teenage girl, long hair damp and brow furrowed. She seems to understand that this is recording, peering at the communicator intently before waving her arm wildly in a futile attempt to shake it off.
Quietly: ]
So what is the difference between a sport and a game? Hunting labrats is fun for the ones holding the gun, pull the trigger if you're ruthless, put down the broken specimens, they're just dragging down the standard deviation isn't that it?
Keep them fighting keep them starving keep them sleeping keep them kept.
[ She sighs and rubs a hand over her face. ] We are not a fan of these particular sports. Lab rats can still chew through the ropes, the wires, the bones.
Just give us time.
Just...
[ Her voice cracks at this point and there's a small sob snuffled in there, but the girl regains her composure fairly quickly. ]
Be polite, River. Say hello.
Hello.
