As the group came to the conclusion that Valhiem might hold the answers they seek, MacKensie was still somewhat reeling from Zell's words.  She struggled along with the conversation but half of her mind was reliving those finals moments on the plane with her team - her friends.  The screaming and crying, her stomach turning as they dropped altitude at freefall speeds, holding onto the seat in front of her as if it would do anything to brace for impact.  Fenna had said that she didn't remember, so MacKensie looked around to see if anyone else was in agreeance with Zell.  Adam.  He remembered clearly, it was written all over his face.  What was also written was that he was upset and extremely offended by the big-mouthed buffoon.  MacKensie felt for him.  He was likely being forced to relive his death and loss of his loved ones just like her.

When yet another stone coffin crashed to the floor from the sky, MacKensie jumped out of her skin.  She didn't realise people were looking up and so she didn't see it coming at all.  After the shock, she put a hand to her heart as she tried to calm her breathing, then looked around to see it.  James offered to go and see if the new person needed any help.  MacKensie dumbly stared at him as he walked off before she finally gathered herself and blinked back to reality.  Seeing that the stone coffin had not landed as cleanly as the others, she then realised herself and started to go after James in case an extra helping hand was necessary.

"You should really think before you talk," she said in reprimand to the nearby Zell as she walked away from the group.  To talk so casually of their deaths, or their [i]kidnapping to another dimension[/i] as he'd earlier put it - tp say it was just 'way too soon' would be the understatement of the century.  The newcomer was out of the coffin by the time MacKensie approached.  As James had asked, she quickly checked her backpack to see if she had any water.  "I'm sorry, I don't have any water," she told them both as she closed the distance.  "Nice to meet you," she said to the woman.  "I am MacKensie.  MacKensie Trydant.  You are probably a little confused, no?" She offered a weak chuckle and a reassuring smile.  "You are not alone in this."
