[ When the video kicks in, it's clear that Chyler is in one of the Perimeter Guard's offices. She's standing close to the lens, adjusting the feed until it lines up to her satisfaction. Then she steps back and stands at attention.
For one brief, brief, oh-so-brief moment there's a flicker of exasperation on her face. Then she locks her gaze on nothing in particular and shouts like she's in the middle of a drill: ]
MY NAME IS CADET SILVA AND I AM A CLOCK.
[ A pause, oh-so-brief a pause, but her expression doesn't waver this time. ]
IF AT ANY POINT YOU REQUIRE THE LOCAL TIME, IT IS MY DUTY TO PROVIDE IT DOWN TO THE SECOND. I AM REQUIRED TO DO THIS REGARDLESS OF WHERE I AM OR WHAT I AM DOING AT THE TIME OF YOUR REQUEST.
IF AT ANY POINT I REFUSE, PLEASE INFORM PERIMETER GUARD SQUAD LEADER JOHN SHEPPARD OF RR-1.
[ Chyler snaps off a salute, then reaches forward and turns off the feed with equal crispness. ]

[She thinks about Logan's final words as he laid dying... It's a sombering thought.]
My father wanted me to not be... what I was made to be.
But being a weapon and fighting to protect, they're different things... right?
no subject
[ A difference she's still learning herself. A difference John is teaching her, little by little. ]
Knowing what's good, fighting to protect it--it's different than just fighting or doing what you're told.
no subject
[She's just — bad at it, right now.
But she'll do her best to get better.]
I'm Laura.
[She only just realized they hadn't been properly introduced. But that's usually how things go for her.]
no subject
[ She smiles at Laura. ]
It's nice to meet you.
I mean it, about the Perimeter Guard. I'd be happy to mentor you.
no subject
[She is certainly friendly with her; kids and teens, they need to stick together, obviously.]
I'll keep it in mind. It will give me — more to focus on.
