((Timeskip to before episode 6))

After J got cloned back, she found herself inside a spaceship. It didn't look like her squad's landing pod, she glanced outside, didn't seem like the Corpse Spire either. She looked back inside and noticed somebody.

A... human?

Wait what? She got up, wobbling on her legs a bit before finally balancing herself and spoke to get the human's attention.

"H-hello..?" She muttered, not too loudly, not wanting to startle the person.

"Oh! You're awake." The human said as they faced away from their desk.

"Wait a minute..." J thought to herself. That accent, that voice.. it's awfully, familiar. "Wait is this-"

J looks at their name tag. Her eyes widened a bit as she recognized the name printed on it.

"T-tessa..?" She asked, still not sure if this is the woman she really thinks is or just a somebody with the same name.

"Nice to know you remember, J." Tessa answered.

J was just blown away. She couldn't believe this. It's Tessa. Her Tessa. The Tessa she used to know.

She walked over to the human, looking up and down, as if inspecting her before lightly hugging her, making sure to not hurt her since disassembly drones are quite strong.

She then looked around her body, moving her fingers while looking at them.

"Pretty neat, eh?" Tessa said.

J nodded as a sign of confirmation before speaking up again.

"Why am I here though? Shouldn't I be back to my squad's landing pod?"

"Ah, yes that. I have a mission and I want you to be involved in it."

"And what would said mission be?" J asked, with slight curiosity.

"Remember Cyn? Well, basically she had come to get this place called 'Cabin Fever Labs', don't know her plan but it's definitely not good." Tessa explained.

J couldn't help but notice how as she explained, her hands are just a .....teeny-tiny-bit too flexible?  It's not really something big, though it is kinda bugging her off. It looks a bit.. unnatural? But then again, what does she know about human anatomy.

"So what do we do with the labs then?"

"I think it's pretty obvious, we burn them down!" The 'human' said with a small chuckle after.

J hummed in understanding, as she looked around. The ship's design looks pretty similar to her pod, just slightly bigger and with a different interior design.

The aussie spoke up once again "CFL is not too far away, just a few miles and we should be around the area."
