[It took her a few moments to register that someone was speaking, and since there wasn't anyone else in the room, Bela assumed that they were addressing her. She looks from the grappling hook to him, and then back to the hook before her gaze settles on his face. It's not the strangest thing that Bela has ever seen in her life but it raises a lot of questions.

For one thing, he doesn't seem to be freaking out.

She also learns that he talks really fast and has clearly been thinking about the situation that he has found himself in. Bela waits until he was finished with his spiel before answering his query like she had done so many times before.]

It isn't an alien abduction. [Sorry to disappoint.] Long story short, you're on a spaceship known as the Tranquility and you were taken from wherever you live when the ship did something known as a 'jump.' Apparently we are all supposed to be heading home but since I've been here for two years, I don't think that is going to be happening anytime soon.

[Yep. She's a little bitter.]

I'm sorry but I have to ask: grappling hook?
