video - warden filter.

This whole...being paired without a file thing...

That's new, right? It's not something the Admiral is bringing back or anything like that? Because I'm not sure exactly what's supposed to happen here or if anything will.

video - ceres.

Okay, I'll be completely honest, I'm not sure how this is supposed to work since I don't have your file. So, I guess the first thing is just getting to know each other?

Even the Admiral isn't that cruel. He does a lot of pretty bad and terrible things, but I don't think he'd do that.

You have a great deal more faith in him than I do.

I don't know if it's in him or just with people and people-like beings in general.

The end result is the same.

[advocacy]

Yeah, I guess that's right.

[A small beat.]

So, um. Is there anything you want to know about me?

private;

[heavenlymisandrist]

Anything you believe may help me to graduate.

I'm not sure if there's much about me that can help you do that. [A beat before she realizes how that sounds.] I mean information-wise. Not that I can't help.

I understand.

[ She's not actually totally sure Daneca can help at all. But she's here, she's cooperating. By Ceres standards she's pulling out all the stops. ]

What do you suggest?

[Daneca is quiet, taking a moment to think. She tries to think of something, but there's nothing that comes to mind right away. Which is both awkward and embarrassing, but she remembers that she's new to this. And Ceres knows that. She thinks.]

I think for now, if you have a problem or you need something that I can get from the Admiral for you, you just let me know. And as long as we're both honest with each other, it'll work out.

I need my Hagoromo.
