Why don't you tell me how you were brought back from the dead?
[That's fair enough. Rosalind would prefer to simply receive answers, but she's aware that's not how the world works.]
The machine used to kill me was a machine of my own invention, one that could tear apart time and space. It was sabotaged, and overloaded, exploding me and killing u-- killing me in an instant. But I woke, and found that I hadn't been killed-- and then again, I had. I was alive and dead, my cells scattered among all the universes.
[ Angels had goes back to her ports, once again not a totally conscious gesture, turning her head slightly so that they are out of Rosalind's line of direct sight. Needless to say (because she won't) Angel's experiences with scientist's is not a positive one. ]

I am, yes.
Are you not fond of them?

[ A lie both because she doesn't want to let on to her actual experiences...but she also doesn't want to offend. ]
I spent a great deal of my childhood around scientist. It's just been a long time since I spoke with one in person.
