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 )

[ Ummmm. ]

I'll be honest, didn't really keep count.

[ So, a lot? ]

[retrorsum]

Well, you're probably more well travelled than most people here.

( most humans she'd spoken to had never gotten off earth )

Especially for your time.

[impavid]

I've always been special.

[ That. Sure is. One way to word it, yes. ]

[retrorsum]

Oh, really?

( colour her a little curious )

[impavid]

Oh yeah.

[ Learn to lower your expectations, River. ]

My mother always told me so.

[retrorsum]

Well, she's not here.

[impavid]

[ MMMMMM. John raises an eyebrow. ]

Well I'm hoping not, she died about 14 years ago now.

[ Not that... death strictly stops the Natha.

John isn't sure how he feels about that thought.

Let's file it under, 'ignore'. ]

( she at least looks a little apologetic. and stops herself from mentioning about that she could be in a pod because with their earlier conversation he likely knows it )

What did she say?
