[ So here's someone who will be familiar to anyone paying attention to the networks recently - except at least this time there's no screaming. Instead she switches on the video after composing herself, and she's maybe not as calm as she'd like, but it's close enough. ]
The people we found, is anyone- [ she hesitates a moment, she's not good at public speaking at the best of times, let alone with the topic at hand. She presses on though, after a moment to suck in a sharp breath of air. ] Is anyone arranging a funeral for them? I just...wanted to know, that's all.
[ Another hesitation. She looks tired, and in the moment that she sweeps the stray hair out of her face it's kind of obvious that she's not looking a hundred per cent. ]
I'll do it, if there isn't something already.
[ And...that'll do apparently, because with that she cuts the feed. ]

She still thinks they should be buried at sea and burn like lotuses in a wildfire spring but she's vetoed. She doesn't even know the foregone souls.
[audio]
Wait, who's she?
[audio]
[audio]
[ Okay yeah, now she's freaking out. It's been a long few days, she's pretty strung out as it is without freaky psychic stuff. ]
[audio to video]
[ Not that she is, per se, but her panic is hitting River loud and clear. ]
Breathing. Breathing. Quarter notes in the heartbeat look I know I know I know things I shouldn't.
I know your name. Tried to find you in the noise and I managed.
I know your name. I know your heart. I know.
[ Matter-of-factly: ] That's just the way it is.
So don't worry. I, she, we - they're just pronouns. Language is a thing. River. I'm River.
[ video]
...A little. ]
How do you know all that stuff? I mean, that's like movie stuff right there. B-grade movies at that. [ Never mind the fact that she's come to terms with the fact that she's living with the devil. Apparently telepathy is still a little too out there for her. ]
Did someone tell you?
[video]
River would offer you a drink if there were any to be had. ]
The doors are always open, there's no off switch for this bandwidth radio. All the bells in Fn-2=Fn-Fn-1 at all hours and you're all new.
Better a name to the song. Better she knows who what belongs to when she can sort it out. Not often. Sometimes. Sometimes.
No one told me. I'll bring flags and flowers and my apologies.
[video]
[ Oh man, she has got to tell Jet about this. She's kind of getting a little concerned though, and it's not long before she switches from shock and awe to concern. ]
Hey look, are you like. I mean, are you okay? You just sound a bit, out of it.
[video]
Without it there's not enough structure and beams to hold up the star-struck chapel where all the bells remain but...
We're rebuilding from the abrupt change of scenery. There are new names and new sounds and a new sense of home.
This is me on a good day for being kidnapped and planet-bound.
[video]
But uh, this place. It's not normally this bad. I mean, don't get me wrong it's awful, they're throwing shit at us left right and centre. But if you survive it all, the people. They're nice, okay?
[ Look, she's even attempting a little smile and everything. ] The people here are pretty much all good. Don't worry about that.
