[the video starts, and one can see the familiar face of Amy Dylandy come on. She's looking well (though it seems she's gained a slight amount of weight). She smiles, before speaking]

Hello, everyone. It's been a long time, hasn't it? I'm sorry I haven't really been active much these past few months. Things have been extremely busy for me lately.

... I heard about the things that have happened lately. I guess trouble finally started to crop up again, hasn't it? I really did pick a fine time to come back... But, all the same, I guess it's good if we're all aware of things, right?

[she laughs a little bit]

Anyway, I'd really like to catch up with anyone who's interested. And... maybe get to know anyone who's joined the Network recently, as well. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Amy. Amy Dylandy.

Weeeell, shit, look who's back. [She grins at the camera, kicking back on a couch with her brand of aggressive music playing from somewhere nearby.] I was startin' to think you two forgot about the rest of us here.

... Heh. Hello, Raye. You're still the same as ever, I see.

I don't think I could forget you if I tried. I am still dating your sister.

Yeeg. Don't remind me.

[She gives a little grimace but the humor's still there.]

So, where the hell've you two been? You missed all the fun.

Raye, come on. You know I'd be absolutely no help with dinosaurs. The giant robot isn't exactly something I can use whenever I want.

[she laughed] But seriously, I've been busy with work and school. I can't speak for Saretha, but I'm sure she'd tell you herself if you asked her. She'd always make time for you, Raye.

Yeah, yeah, guess that's true. Well, just meant more dinosaurs for me.

[She grinned a bit before letting the joking go.] Yeah... yeah, I know. But I know she's busy and everything so it's no big deal.

[A... slight pause there.]

Anyway, shit's been pretty busy down here too. We just got this whole place built up. I had to figure out how to build a fuckin' house.

... Really? I'm pretty proud of you, Raye, if you accomplished that much. I'm sure Saretha would feel the same way.

I imagine though that sort of "busy" is a nice change of pace from the "busy" we used to be knee deep in, though.

Yeah, I guess it was kinda something.

[I mean. Not that she cares if Saretha would be impressed. Look at her, look at how much that's no big deal.]

Yeah, I dunno. It's a lot... calmer around here. Those dinosaurs were the first thing that came up in a long time.

[Still, her tone doesn't sound too... pleased with the idea, somehow.]

[Amy grins. She's onto you, Raye.]

... What, are you saying you'd rather be fighting?

No! ... Maybe? Aagh.

[She lets out a frustrated huff, reaching back to scrub a hand through her already messy hair.]

I don't want anything like the invasion to happen again but... fuck, I dunno. Forget it.

...

[Amy's grin disappeared]

Is this something you want to talk about? I'm willing to hear you out. Because...

... I think I understand what you might be feeling.

[She shrugs a bit.]

I dunno. I mean... everything's better now, people are safe, I'm happy, it's just.... When I went out there and started fighting those dinosaurs, I just got this rush and I guess I just realized I hadn't felt like that in a long time.

... Yeah.

That's how I feel whenever I get behind the controls of something, Raye. I know how you feel, definitely.

It's just...

[She trails off and lets out a frustrated sigh, shaking her head.]

Forget it. I'm probably just bored... need something to do, y'know?

... Look. I know it's not fighting, fighting, but... You know how I used to talk about how Aila would fight in those simulated battles?

I echoed back the device they used to use it. I have a few extra kits you can use. You can come over and use the station, if you ever need to blow off some steam...

Huh? You mean with those little toy robots?

Trust me, it scales to feel more natural once you actually start fighting. It's like being behind an actual machine.

Hm....

[She doesn't sound totally convinced but....]

I guess it's worth a shot. It's basically like a video game, right?

... Iiiiin the sense that it's harmless, yes. But trust me, it's about the same as being behind an actual machine. Except for the G-Forces.
