Pop. Pop pop pop. Poppuhpoppoppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiiiissssss.

There was condensation and mist spraying out from cracks in oblong glowing things that were clustered along the floors and walls of the huge, ancient-looking caverns.

For now, the ones that were cracking were the closest to the floor, but perhaps later, the figures sliding out of the pods would be sliding out onto the slimy walkways and platforms above.

Pop. Poppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiissss.

There was light, and unconscious minds breaking through the top of the briny, harsh waters of consciousness, as their bodies did similarly and broke free from the pods, sliding to the floor, shivering in pools of slime.

Once the temporary blindness that some of them had passed, and once they were free of their sleepy stupors: somebody had some splainin' to do.

But there would be no explanations, as the only thing that could explain was only watching, silently, almost as a mother would look at their child right after it was born.

Pop. KASCHUNKhissss.

"All right, sure, living area sounds great," she nodded, sarcasm edging her voice again.

Kara regarded the transport tube squeamishly, shifting uncomfortably before she released a short, harsh sigh. "I've got to get back...the fleet needs me. The old man needs me...you've got no idea how much...." At the same time, as much as she tried to hold on to it she felt something she hadn't felt since New Caprica, the gradual release of the urgency of her obligations and duties, the weight of running and fighting steadily for years lifting from her shoulders just a touch. If she was kidnapped by a frakking crazy alien ship that wasn't her fault, right? The Gods only knew what was going on and if they were going to try and run awful experiments on her or hurt her. But if they were they'd have a fight coming, and in the meantime...

Her hands twitched just a bit, her thumb running over her fingers. "Hey...when I got taken, found, whatever the frak happened...did any of my things come along?"

"All right then. Lead the way there," She said, edging towards the transport tube.

Wide-eyed, she tried not to scream as she was eventually let go by the tube, looking around in alarm. "I...uh...no. No...I think I'm all right for, ah...now..."

Gathering herself up and tucking her hair behind her ear, trying to regain her composure, she headed off to the place full of stuff, hoping to find belongings that were either assigned to her or were hers when she was taken...found...appeared...however it was she got there.
