Eric would hear Joel knocking on the ship door. [color=003399]"Anyone up? We might have a problem."[/color]
After returning to the ship and a little time of talking to people, Yeul and Caius decided to go to sleep, the lack of sleep from the previous night catching up to them. They had moved to the sitting area, where they slept sitting in the chairs. Largely due to them being tired, they slept relatively well.
The next day, Caius awoke at 9AM, with Yeul waking up fourty minutes after. Seeing Yeul wake up, Caius looked to her, having stayed by her side after waking up.
"Good morning. Did you sleep well?" He asked.
Yeul yawned lightly, and rubbed her eyes after throwing her hair out of the way of her face. "Yes, fine, thank you." She said softly, standing up. "It seems the rain has still not stopped." She commented, looking up to the ceiling as she heard the rain still hitting the hull of the ship.
"No. At this rate, it would not suprise me were a flood to come. This vessel ought to be moved to higher ground, just to be safe."
Yeul was about to respond, when she heard a knock echo through the ship, accompanied by Joel's voice. "I wonder what is amiss?" She thought aloud, then began heading to the entrance. "Let us go find out."
Caius stood up, and silently followed after Yeul.

Seeing Caius and Yeul, Joel turned his attention away from the stranger. [color=003399]"Have you seen Samus since we landed? She's the tall blonde woman, with the blue skintight suit."[/color] he asked.
Reaching the entrance of the ship, Caius and Yeul glanced to Eric, then looked to Joel as he asked his question. "No. I have not seen her since before touching down." Caius answered. Yeul shook her head as silent confirmation that she hadn't seen Samus, either.
"Why do you ask?" Yeul asked. She wondered where Joel had been the previous day, assuming he couldn't have gone to get a new prosthetic arm, since he was still missing it. She held off on asking for the time being, however.

Joel continued to ignore Eric for now, focusing his attention on Yeul and Caius. [color=003399]"I saw something really weird last night, on an off TV."[/color] Joel began, before explaining what he saw, which Gear will post.
Last Night, Midnight, What Joel Saw...
The TV screen Joel was looking at screen flickered into life, with a burst of static and a strange signal tone. They eventually subsided, revealing Samus. The woman on screen was radically different to how the group knew her. Instead of her armour or the Zero Suit, she was wearing a knee length, sleeveless blue dress with a green jacket over it, and her hair was let down into a short bob. She seemed meek and timid, clutching a microphone in her hands nervously and not looking directly at the camera. A small text scroll appeared in the corner, but it was written in Chozo script, rendering it illegible. "Uh... He-hello everyone. I'm Samus, and..." She seemed to falter for a moment before hastily re-asserting herself. "And I'm your host for tonight's episode of Save Your Dame!" She gave a nervous chuckle. "Fight your way through the maze, and guess who-" She gestured to herself. "-will be waiting at the end, to spend some time with you, Prince Charming!" She smiled for a second. "A-and don't you keep me waiting!" What had been meant as playful banter seemed more like desperate, lonely begging, and Samus seemed to notice that, leaving after an embarrassed few seconds on screen. The camera zoomed out as she scampered away like a mouse, showing that she was in a short metal hallway similar to that of a submarine, with metal arches throughout, and glass windows allowing a view onto serene green fields and lava-filled caverns. She ran to the end of the hallway, into a black-and-red vortex that was sitting where the door should have been. When she was gone, the screen flicked off again.
EMily, Gwen, and Winona had eaten their breakfast and gotten themselves properly washed hours ago. They were able to overhear what Joel was talking about. But none of them could give a good response except for the sound of wanting to say something but couldn't.
EMily was flabbergasted.
Gwen was all "what the hell".
And Winona was thoroughly confused.

"She... decided to be a host on Tv?" Yeul questioned, something of a puzzled expression on her face.
Caius looked to Joel with his usual stoic expression, glancing to Yeul once she spoke, then back to Joel. "This is signifficant, how?" He chimed in questioningly, deciding to get to the point.

[color=003399]"Like I said, the TV was turned off when this happened."[/color] Joel said to Caius. [color=003399]"Something just seems weird about all this."[/color]
"An odd coincidence, perhaps." Yeul mused. "Although with armour of the like she wielded, the chances that anything has happened to her is slim at most. The desperation in her voice you mentioned was possibly part of the act she had to put up."
Caius momentarily moved his head to the side and upwards, a motion reminiscent of a shrug. "What ever the case, it is no concern of mine."

[color=003399]"The show didn't mention any way to enter the contest, which was also really weird."[/color] Joel replied.
Roland had been listening to the entire conversation from another room, and soon walked in with the others. "I don't know of Tee Vee, but this does not seem like something Samus would do willingly. If one of our tet is in danger, we must help her."
Alain was woken up by Joel knocking on the door, but tried to go back to sleep. Due to all the people talking he was unable to do so, and after a minute he got up to see what was going on, leaving his hammer next to the bed.
He yawned as he entered the room with Joel and the others. "What's going on now?" He asked before yawning again.
