[She's new, obviously, and looking a little distressed as she tries to figure out the communicator well enough to make some use of it. Sitting down by the shipyard, her blonde hair is tied back in a messy ponytail, trying to keep it from getting in her face as she tries to figure out what's going on here.]

Excuse me... [A good start, right? Polite.] I'm a recent arrival to this place and would appreciate any information I could be given on it. It's not quite right for anywhere I know of home.

[It's short, but effective, she hopes. Canada then more or less repeats herself in French, then German and Russian and Japanese, the first languages that come to mind for good international communications.

But just to be safe, she tries text, too:]

Information and/or assistance in returning home would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It depends on what you call 'long'.. It's already been a lot of months though. But some people have been here even longer.

Okay, thank you for telling me. Some months aren't so bad, but when you're trapped somewhere, it's a different story. At least I think so.

At least I'm not alone. I think that helps a lot, it makes it less lonely here.

Companionship is important. I'm glad you've got people.

What about you? You're not alone, are you?
