"Mm, I have been here some months," she said quietly. "The memory of, as you put it so well, being 'just emerged from some kind of freakish alien pod, naked and covered in what appears to be alien snot' is a thing which I shall not forget. Sadly, the tentacles were as nearly unpleasant as this 'alien snot' business."

Her eyes crinkled slightly as she flashed a grin.

"There could have been worse times to arrive. You did not come with those in the last podpop. There were things that were dead and biting and walking. I fought them along with many who are here. But, for the moment, we are safe and there are no undead things. And I do not think there is any decent way to explain podpop besides...well."

She gestured with a short sweep of her hand and shook her head.
