Siren's Pull

[As the NV's video feed comes on everyone is going to be treated to the sight of a rather motherly or rather grandmotherly woman with a small calm smile tugging on her lips. It's obviously she's been asking questions about this place. The NV is set up away from her to show her sitting in a hospital bed, there is a faint beep here and there from a machine near at hand.]

Some of you have been most welcoming and helpful and I am grateful for your assistance - like the young men from the field that found me.

[But some of you, well you've certainly made her wonder if you were ever taught proper manners at all. Especially after seeing all the graffiti and the posts about newcomers in the network. But she brushes that aside without commenting on it - picking your battles was key.]

I'm aware that there are some of you out there who are from where I call home. I would be happy to see or hear from those I know or could be bearing news of such persons.

[She pauses glancing to the door before giving an amused little chuckle.]

I should be going the nurses were rather insistent that I not overdo anything. Something about a concussion needed observation and rest.

 [Just before the feed stops the door opens and a nurse is there smiling brightly and though her words are scolding there’s a playful teasing tone the belied her words.]

“Mrs. Rainsworth, what did I tell you about resting?”

“Oh come now, dear, can’t fault an old woman for being a bit curious.”
