[The video feed flicks on to show the face of an attractive brunette with blue eyes, her hair pulled back into a ponytail. She's likely in her early-thirties and has an air of confidence, despite the unusual situation she's now in having just arrived on the islands.]

Hi, everyone. I just woke up here, and I wanted to thank everyone who's tried to make this... really weird situation a little more tolerable for those of us who just came through the door.

My name is Jill Valentine. Back home, I'm a member of an anti-bioweapons task force run by the United Nations.

Strangely enough, I'm told I've been here before. I don't remember that, but something about some of you feels really familiar.

[Her eyes scrunch a bit as if trying to search the recesses of her mind, but she can't remember this place no matter how hard she tries. It's almost like trying to recall a dream.]

So I just wanted to say, if you did know me before, you don't have to tip-toe around that. I'd actually like any and all information you can give me so I can prepare myself for this place. If I've already got friends here... well, I'd count that as a very good thing.

[She ends that with a little smile.]

Thanks.

People have to go on living. The BSAA neutralizes threats when they appear anywhere in the world. We have branches on every continent.

[It's their job to deal with monsters or people who turn into them.]

We don't hold control over local governments or police forces. We're.. specialists, I guess you could say. We deal with bio-weapons and go where we're needed. We assist local authorities to deal with the kind of things they're not trained to handle.

So you essentially just help where help is needed. That's actually something, I think, most worlds need. Someone who can take care of things others can't.

[Jill smiles a bit.]

It's not so uncommon. I didn't think my job was any different when I was in the military or the rescue squad I used to be on.

[Isn't that the job of all those who serve? Other worlds surely have similar branches.]

[poisonprincess]

So you've been down both roads?

[There's a small smile there.]

I don't remember much before the ruin, but it's good to know that there are those out there who protect those who can't really do much for themselves.

[She's not one of those people.]

[survivethis]

We do whatever we can.

[And Jill certainly never did it entirely alone. There were plenty of times where she had help along the way.]

I'm sure there are others here who could say the same.
