To Whom It May Concern,

Greetings. For those whom I have not yet been introduced to, my name is Mrs. Mina Harker. I understand that we have all been brought here recently, from many different places, times, and worlds. Speaking for myself, this has been a distressing series of events, and I have no doubt it has been for others as well.

That said, I believe that the best way to overcome such hardship is to find useful means of employment. I keep a diary, in which I have recorded many of my experiences and observations since arriving here. Perhaps there are others here who have done similarly. I plan to type up some of my relevant notes into a readable manuscript, and I would be very willing to do the same for others. If we can compile our findings into one document, I believe this could assist all of us in discovering more about why we are here, the nature of this place, how we may accomplish a return to our homes, &tc. Perhaps together we can learn what individually we would not be able to.

If there is already such an endeavour underway, please consider this my offer of assistance.

Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Mina Harker

"Not necessarily. They might have means of remote access and control."

Certainly most Corporate Executives did; you never saw them personally descending down to the workers' floors.

"But something must use the door. Otherwise, they wouldn't have it."

Once again, she has no idea what that means or what it would entail. At this rate, she is going to have to start a list of things to bring to Hikaru, since Hikaru is actually able to explain technology to her in a way that she understands.

"I almost fear to think what will happen if that door ever does open," she murmurs, almost to herself. "But perhaps kept behind that door is the means of our escape?"

Not that it matters - as long as the door remains impregnable, whatever is behind it might as well be in another universe.

It shrugs. It didn't really have the data one way or another to say the door opening might bring. "That's why I'm monitoring it."

Then it falls into an awkward silence. (It's given her its data. She's asked questions about it. That's all that she needed it for, right? Ugh, this would be so much easier if it could have just sent all of this to her normally...)

Perhaps it's because Mina used to teach etiquette and comportment, but she can tell, on some level, that Rin doesn't seem to know how to do this part. But she does.

So she offers them a smile. "Thank you, Rin, for contributing to my little project. I think this will be very helpful, for all of us."

They can leave, now, if they want.

"Right," it says, still awkward. (There's still something weird about being thanked, even if it happens more often now. That is, more than 'never'.)

And then it says, "Bye," and flees - the drone fleeing with it.
