Hey everyone. One of the new kids in town here—I'm Elena Fisher. It's nice to meet you. Well, smartphone-meet you.

[The video shows a blonde woman in a borrowed Henley shirt who apparently scaled some structure before deciding to introduce herself. It's not as high up as her husband's first network post, but apparently "arrive, go higher" is just something members of their household do.]

I get that there's a lot going on here—Nate's been catching me up, and I've been trying to get myself up to date. So I'll try not to ask any dumb questions.

[She read the guide, she saw Chris's post. So far her basic response is: yikes.]

Hopefully this doesn't immediately contradict myself, but has anyone been able to figure out if there's some kind of pattern as to who comes through the Door, and when they come from? It's a pretty small sample set, but so far half the people I've talked to know someone else here from their home—which strikes me as pretty unlikely, considering how few people are here and how many different places the Door could be drawing from. What's more, those people aren't even from the same point in time, so whatever power brought them here didn't scoop everyone up at once. Pretty inefficient.

I don't know. Even if there is an identifiable pattern, I can't say what it would mean, what the goal would be. But suddenly I've got a lot of time on my hands, so...it's something I wouldn't mind figuring out.

That makes sense.

[And more than that, it's a good idea. He'll also try not to think about the idea that maybe he should've done the same.]

Hopefully, though, that experience means being here isn't as much of a shock.

[It does make sense. That's why it has to have been the right move.]

Covering a civil war in Nepal is one thing. Getting interdimensionally kidnapped is a whole 'nother thing. But I suppose it does help me think on my feet in the face of danger.

Does it help to think about it as covering another war, just an interdimensional one? Leaving out the kidnapping part.

[It's sort of a joke, but it really might help to think of this entire situation as a parallel to something she's already familiar with. It definitely has for him, at least when it's possible to do so.]

[She takes a few seconds to think about it. Huh.]

It might. Hopefully fewer casualties, but... [She smiles.]</small You know that's only going to encourage me to try and interview people, right?

Hopefully.

[Really, really hopefully. As for that last comment--]

I won't discourage you, but be careful. I'm sure you don't need the reminder, but people can be dangerous and this place is no exception.

[He's had more issues with the people here than he has with events, personally.]

[Ha. She's heard that before...though admittedly, not in this exact context.]

I can handle myself. Kind of a requirement for being a nosy reporter.

I'm sure you can, but still.

[Just be careful; he gets the sense she's entirely capable just as she says she is, but this place is utterly ridiculous and some of the people he's worried--or knows for sure--will just snap if you look at them wrong.]

I know. I appreciate the concern.

[Really, she'll be fine. She's not going to get too pushy...at first, anyway.]
