[The video feed turns on, and there's a young woman with blonde hair and blue eyes looking into the camera. She looks like a teenager, and she sort of is. She's wearing a very hopeful smile, and gives the camera a little wave.]

So...the Barge again. It's been a while.

[Her smile grows wider.]

I've been gone so long, there probably isn't anyone left who remembers me. My name's Laura. Laura Palmer. I was an inmate here, oh...it seems like forever ago, now! I didn't think I'd be coming back, but life is full of unexpected turns.

[She shrugs. She's rather perky today, mostly because she really wants to start out on the right foot. Her hope is nearly palpable.]

I'm a warden now, and I want to help out however I can. Who's in charge of the kitchen? Are there any shifts I can take over? I have experience in large-scale food preparation--I started the Meals-on-Wheels program in my town and I worked the dinner shift as an inmate. I'd be more than happy to sign on!

[Working in the kitchen is one of her fondest memories of her time here.]

If there's nothing free there, I can work in the library, I guess. Or maybe somewhere else. Let me know where I can volunteer!

[She loves volunteer work, guys. She always has.]
