They enter.

That simple, no dramatics, no fanfare, just tired faces. Faith's body is covered in streaks of brown-red, the result of trying to clean off blood without time or water to do it properly, and the rest don't look much better. Dirt, sweat, blood--in some cases their own, in some others', because you can get things cleaned up, bandaged, but the long showers that get it clean in the end, that takes time. There's the scent of violence, smoke, gunpowder, ash, tears, anger, all around them, and they are tired, and dirty, but they're alive, and not hurting too badly.

They enter: Ace, Faith, Kitty, Susannah, Zoe, and the door closes behind them.

Ohhh, how to explain this?

Well, they were on the station thingie when it got blowed up, but the you from the future said it was all okely dokely, so hey, let's party.

Bad idea.

Faith shakes her head.

"It's...kind of a long story. And I don't know when, but we know they are."

"Okay, so... we wait, I guess."

A moment's silence.

"You're sure everyone else is going to be okay?"

Faith nods patiently, smiling.

"Yes, Breck Girl. Everybody's gonna be fine."

Beat.

"And I know you're wondering - you're still just as gorgeous in 500 years as you are now."
