[The moment she wakes up, Katniss knows this is wrong. This isn't where she's supposed to be. She's supposed to be in the arena, supposed to be protecting Peeta. The last thing she remembers... It only takes a second to come back to her. The last thing she remembers is Cinna being dragged away and her being lifted up to the arena. That's it, then she's here. She didn't get a glimpse at the arena, but this can't be it. Especially not if she's just waking up. It doesn't make any sense at all, but this isn't the Games. This is...
In an instant, she's on her feet, looking around the room quickly, anxious and afraid. She'd have guessed this has something to do with the Capitol, but when she gets to the door, she can open it. She can exit into the hall, walk down along it, open other doors if she wants. Not confined to one room, not in any sort of custody. The more she figures out, the less sense the whole situation manages to make. And it doesn't do anything to staunch her worries about Cinna. Or Peeta, for that matter. Clearly she can't protect him from here.
Eventually, she makes her way back to the room she started in. The one she realizes has her name on it. Not just a room, apparently it's her room. On the desk inside, she finds the device and, with some hesitation, inspects it. The message plays, and while it doesn't clear anything up, it manages to increase her concern, worry her more. Cape Kore? Don't try to leave? No. She has to leave, she can't stay here whether this Science Center is somewhere in the Capitol or not. She has to make sure Peeta is safe.
That's when she figures out that she can use this device to send out a message.]
What is this? Why am I here instead of in the arena? [When she appears on screen, she does her best to keep her fear hidden. Her expression is unreadable at best, and at worst, she looks mad. She is mad. She's not supposed to be here, they're supposed to just let her die in the Games, not take her out of them and kill her themselves. If that's even what this is.] Where did you take Cinna? And where's Peeta?
[The least they could have done, she figures, is let her protect him. Let her help him to win. Then they'd be rid of her and he could live. For a moment, she just stares down at the device, into the camera. There are plenty more questions that she'd like to ask, but these are the most important. And who knows if she'll even get an answer?]
What's the point of this?
