---right?

[If the tone is any indication, that one word wasn’t directed at anyone---it was the sort of mutter manuals muffle. What follows is livelier, as the young woman speaking seems hopeful.]

Right. I don’t want to be a bother, but I was wondering if there’s anyone available to give the ten-cent tour…. and if there’s anyone who would want to. Since ah, I’m not the only new arrival, and there’s sort of a lot to see, I figured I’d ask. If you’re new too, okay, awesome, we can explore together. If you’re not new and you want to show off your stomping grounds, I’ll ooh and ahh appreciatively. Promise. And I’ll owe you one.

[Although her eyebrows do rise briefly at ‘Satan,’ Sam simply sits back, expression thoughtful, and considers this information a moment.]

[A long moment.]

[A moment more, and she lifts her hands.]

I’d love to say I’ve heard stranger. I can’t, cause I haven’t, but you know what?

[She offers Deckard a crooked little smile, shrugging.]

I could buy it, because all of this is weird enough all bets are off anyway.

[He's silent for a moment. When he speaks, it's with the quiet weight of remembering the worst of nightmares.]

I can't prove it to you - I pray I'm never able to - but Unicron is real. A few of us have faced and fought him and his hordes. It's . . . not something I care to ever repeat. Or would wish on anyone else. If it's true that the Miasma comes from him somehow, nothing good can come from it.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to make light of hardships anyone has had, here. ...and I know there's some important stuff for which proof isn't all that easy to produce. I'm not ass enough to just expect it, but by 'I could buy it,' I mean space-robot Satan is plausible enough with all of the other weirdness I'll accept it.

[And so she offers Deckard an apologetic smile, and another, smaller shrug.]
