YL078T | Voice | Night 009
[Taissa has woken up in a new place much farther than ever before. It's too warm, even for night. The tropical trees growing just inland of the beach only confirm that this is considerably south of New Jersey. Her clothes are soaked through and she doesn't remember being in the water. Was there a shipwreck? There must be other boats nearby. The coast guard, or somebody, should be out there.
She picks up the only thing outside of herself that she has found on the sand so far. It looks like some sort of emergency radio. She listens to only a snippet of a message before calling out herself, but it sounds enough like military jargon to give her hope of timely rescue. She attempts to sound calm through her shock and confusion. Loud and clear.]
Hello? Who am I speaking to? This is Senator Taissa Turner. I seem to be lost and in need of assistance.
[Also in need of a quick transceiver tutorial, clearly.]

[She's pretty sure they weren't both just in a plane crash they forgot about, even though that would be a convenient answer to most questions]
Just little stacks, like someone was travelling quickly but wanted to be able to find their way back. Led to a little makeshift camp partway in, but then I lost the trail.
I'm Chloe, by the way. I'm on contract with the Malaysian government right now, but not in a way that’s gonna be helpful. Lost my phone anyway.
no subject
I'm sure it'd be wonderful to meet you under literally any other circumstance, Chloe. Are we somewhere in Malaysia right now? [She's going to hit a record in lost time if that's the case.]
no subject
We can't be that far though - I'm hardly hurt at all and there's tons of people here apparently.

What's your partner like? In case I run into them before you. Were they also working for the Malaysian government?
no subject
She's short, but like, in that range where women angrily insist their height is 'average' so if you see her don't tell her I said that. Light brown skin, curly hair tied in the most severe ponytail you've ever seen. Name’s Nadine.
no subject
Hopefully we'll get you back to her and recovering sunken treasure... or whatever the hell you were doing... soon. How long do you remember being here?
no subject
Been in Malaysia for about a week, woke up on the beach here at sunrise yesterday.
no subject
The jungle inland looks like it's north-west from my beach. Should I try to meet you somewhere?
no subject
You good going in there in the dark? I've got a flashlight so I'll be able to see a bit.
no subject
Will you be okay? Do you have any weapons?
no subject
[She’d had a gun before but it's gone now and she doesn't really want to explain to an American senator where it went]
I’ll be okay, I think.
no subject
[Especially since she'll be staying up as long as possible. The last thing she needs is to go sleepwalking in a completely unfamiliar and possibly dangerous place.]
Otherwise I'll set out at first light and close the gap.
no subject
Oh - if you get thirsty, condensation collects on the big leaves at night. It sucks but it’ll keep you going until we find something better.
See you on the other side.
