VIDEO.

What happened to the kids? [ Those are fantastic first words, Emma, but it's a valid question. Why? In the past couple of hours since she's arrived she's looked through the communicator logs, and from suddenly seeing lots of kids to there now being none? Weird. Very suspicious. Someone's in Good Guy mode already (always) ]

And why were they here? I didn't think that would happen. [ Not that she really knows a lot, minus her own deal with the Admiral. Would he do that? Well, Gold probably would, or not, she doesn't know, but she's suspicious. She doesn't like deals, not when there are things that could be magic involved. And kids. Protect the kids ]

Right. [ Moving on. Slowly. She didn't actually introduce herself, did she? ] I'm Emma, and hopefully I've figured this out and I'm not just talking to myself. [ It is very likely to happen ]

I guess being new is obvious, and I'm a Warden. [ One day this all may (fully) sink in ] As for this? I know what I'm doing. I've actually done it before [ Kind of ] so just... keep that in mind. [ Yeah. This is turning out to be the worst introduction. Way to go, Emma! ]

And if anyone's got a welcome pack? [ Does the job come with guides? Hidden benefits? Weekends? ] I'd appreciate it. [ And she's done. And can sit and wonder what the hell she just did ]

ACTION.

[ A little later in the day you may be lucky enough to run into one Emma Swan. Or at least a blonde woman that looks pretty lost. Or confused. It's actually both. She was trying to just check out the locations, get her bearings (the kitchen would actually be nice) except she got turned around. Or just lost, she didn't actually go backwards. Give a girl a hand? ]

It does. I have a few different sets of memories inside of my head, from a couple of floods. Floods are when the Barge passes by a rift or something too closely and dimension travel residue spills onto it. Sometimes they are extreme like complete transformations, other times they're more simple like projecting all your emotions.

What's the worst it gets?

[an_abomination]

Once the Barge broke down and we were trapped in a world with Aliens who used humans as slave labor or to fight in their gladiator style arenas. [His voice becomes tense as he speaks and his gaze drifts off to the side.]

[ ... What? ] But you fixed the Barge. [ Obviously ] When was that?

[an_abomination]

A couple of months ago and we did. Before that the Barge got hijacked by a Warden and we ended up going to vacation planet. I'd be all for going to a place like that again.

So it's not only floods or the Admiral's bad driving. [ Good to know ] Was that the only time a Warden changed course?
