[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.

[ He tries! He is glad to see Jill again, and he smiles back. ]

I remember that about you, that you don't sit by, you pitch in.

If I can think of anything, I'll certainly ask! No varren trying to chew my leg at the moment, though! [ Chuckle. ]

I try.

[That's all any of them can do.]

Let's hope there won't be another one of those incidents. Wouldn't want to risk losing a leg.

You try, and you do very well. I'm proud to know you. [ Even if she doesn't exactly remember knowing her. ]

[ Indeed, that's all any of them can do, and they must keep doing it! ]

I'm sure there will be other incidents. The gods like us to get all riled up, preferably angry and frightened, but at the very least warlike and aggressive. The way people like us get when we're fighting things that want to eat us or otherwise destroy us, you know?

Thank you.

[Knowing someone has that much confidence in her means a lot after just arriving here.]

I wish there was another way.

[Other than having the gods toy with them like that.]
