Has anyone found a pod containing someone that was supposed to be dead? That they knew to be dead.

( river asks more out of curiosity than anything, out of trying to understand and gain more knowledge on the pods, on who and how they were brought here. she also can't deny that small piece of hope that comes with the question, of wanting to see someone that she couldn't (shouldn't) be able to see again )

I'd like you to take a look at something, see what you can make of it.

( it's absolutely a test. it's a device that river built but she's checking out his capabilities, see how useful he might be for what she needs )

[kludging]

absolutely. i'd love to.

[ it's only right that it's a test, really. he's good at those when it comes to picking apart technology. ]

i'm montgomery scott.

( river will already be there when he arrives, crouched by the pods closest to the transport area, trying to investigate and scan whatever she can. it's a process that she's done many times already, the sonic not telling her anything new, but she'll keep trying for new information )
