Good evening.
[ The feed clicks to life to a modestly dressed (that is, modest in means, not necklines) but well-kept young woman, seated in the likely familiar mid-level chaos of refugee housing. The walls are not well-painted, and the quarters a bit close, but it's what they're all dealing with, or have recently, and Max is no exception. ]
Like the rest of you, I am finding myself starting over in this place — finding work, building a life. Given the nature of our presence here, displaced from our homes and our histories, it seems the only base of support many of us may have is each other.
So I wondered if those of you who have found your feet might share — what work have you found yourselves suited to here? How are you making your way in this world? Or how do you plan to, if those plans have not yet come to fruition?
And how does that compare to your ambitions? Is the position your hold now everything you had hoped for, [ unlikely, her tone suggests, but feel free to surprise her, ] or is there more that you would seek to accomplish? Perhaps there are others here who could lend their aid, or whose ambitions might align with your own.
[ Perhaps Max can help. c: ]

[ A fact Max is not unaffected by, even in front of a stranger, but not willing to dwell on either, steeling herself up instead. ]
What is it you are catching up on? [ She peers at the feed as if to get a better angle, unused to how the flatness of the device makes that rather fruitless. ]

I've become quite the research for the sake of medicine and engineering... but mostly, it's cataloging what the field-goers bring to my doorstep. I'll take it over being outdoors with plants that don't just look pretty, but doing inventory for something unknown to you is incredibly frustrating. You discover this creature! This creature can kill you. Put it away and try not to think about it.
