[ turns out? space doesn't give a single fuck about your circadian rhythm. or maybe insomnia is just that attached to her that even the absence of a sun dictating her internal clock doesn't faze it, like an old friend you wish would just forget you already.
one night (?) late into the early hours (???) marta finds herself drifting out of the room she's come to assume will be hers for the indefinite future, passing through stark white walls with all the sterility of a hospital, but none of its familiar chaos.
she's still getting used to the earpiece. still getting used to hearing other people's voices in her head. she doesn't mean to add another in the void, but one of her own thoughts blares out too vividly as she stares out into an actual void: ]
—but where are the stars?

Have you ever tried having a rave alone with a glow stick?
You and several billion others spread across throughout the room at varying distances. It is one big cosmic get together for solo dancing.

Is... that how many of us are here?
[ let's just focus on one thing at a time, yeah? ]
someone's too busy to brain text
is brain texting harder than speaking...

Could be far enough out that they don't exist here.
A few billion light years off from the nearest.

Is that how space works?
I've only ever seen it in TV. Movies.
Out in the country, you see so many stars so close together, I guess it never hit me that they could be so lonely.
[ —that's. that's not what she meant to say. ]
...far apart. I didn't realize they could be so far apart.

text; un: stargirl
Oh, they're always out there. Just not in the same way you may remember from back home. We're in a star system far from whatever you may remember. One that's likely never been discovered or explored before. Could even exist in a pocket universe where stars are far and few between. But if you ever find yourself missing the sight of them, I recommend giving the sunlight room a try.
It's beautiful late at night when everyone else is sleeping.
no subject
so what does that make her? ]
Is it still comforting? Even if the stars there aren't real, or don't look like the ones you know.

There are stars in the sunlight room at night, and you can make the simulation room show you any constellations you'd like though.

or ... real enough to me that i can't tell a difference. i don't know. sunshine is more my expertise.
i wouldn't suggest going there without a sweater, though, unless you want to start a new life as an icicle. i may or may not asked viveca to add snow.
no subject
It was just starting to be winter, back home.
[ which is to say, ]
I have a sweater, thank you.
I probably couldn't tell either. But somehow just knowing they're fake... suddenly I think I'm an expert.

I thought they'd be there. But they're not — just some little dusting, like it's all too far away.
I guess just knowing they're gone makes me miss them.

We're far outside of any galaxy you may be familiar with.

Someone has to be, right?

Part of me thinks we can't see them because of whatever the Commander and Viveca are doing to keep this place hidden. Might be some kind of shield around us.
Just a guess, though. Don't know enough about any of this stuff to do better than that.
no subject
Even in the city, when the streetlights made them harder to see, it was enough to know they were there.
Just one other thing I took for granted, I guess.
[ it's not a lot, but for someone as quiet as marta generally is, she already feels like she's babbling. she's quickly coming to realize this thought to text thing is dangerous. ]
Are we hidden because of the things we're holding?
Those... orbs people have spoken about?

Peter's a night owl, anyway, the hard part is getting him to wake up in the mornings. He also likes audio more than text, sorry, Marta. You're now welcome to a rather cheerful voice, considering the hour of the night. ]
Try looking to the right and then straight on 'til morning...?
Jokes aside, the station isn't located near any discernible star. But even if it were, the stars here wouldn't be the same you're used to see in your home world. We're in a parallel dimension, or a pocket one of some sort.
Firs time in space, I take it?

First time in space, first time in another dimension.

The only real stars you will see, are the ones we see when we're on missions. That is, if the lights of the world allows for it.

The real ones are technically out there somewhere. The simulation room has fake ones that feel real enough if you wanna stargaze.

I never really stargazed before. Feels typical I'd want to, now that they aren't around.

when bones approaches her, she jolts, turns towards him like she'd been caught doing something she shouldn't, like somehow her mere presence is taking up space where it shouldn't be, tucked towards the wall as it is. ]
Sorry, [ comes her reflex, before she can even think to process his words. she smiles a second later, polite and cordial. she gives a slight shake of her head. ]
Too much to think about. [ not that she wants to. ]

Hello — I'm the Doctor. Bit late to be scrolling through the network, isn't it?

[ probably not. she wound up bothering a bunch of people anyway; most wouldn't care if it was accidental or not, not at this hour. whatever hour this is. ]
To be honest, I don't think I'd even recognize the ones from my own universe. [ my universe. what a strange, strange thing to say. ] I wasn't really looking for them for familiarity's sake. Just... this is space, and in space there are supposed to be stars.
But maybe this universe doesn't work that way.
