[It's that time again! ...good luck, Ximilia]

So, it seems to be just over sixty of us now. More than double the amount that was here when I first turned up. Looks like some of them left though, so I guess they changed their minds.

[Not that he knew most of them. But he has eyes. And a need to keep track of things like that.]

Far as we all know, this is the third time people have been brought here. Ninety-one days since we first started turning up.

Now, I ain't saying I'm an expert. But I'm just going to field a few questions before they come up.


[And undoubtedly leave it to the actual professional once the follow up questions come]

Yes, there's another area called the Northern Wing. No, we can't go in. Yes, we've met someone who seems to live on the other side. No, we can't talk to him.

[Except...that last part might not be true. He hasn't actually asked Viveca if they could talk to him]

We're meant to get a supply drop once every thirty days or so. Spare clothes and supplies are all stored at the end of the common room. You need something specific, speak to Viveca. Ain't promising she'll be able to get it, but can't hurt to ask, right?

If this is your first time in space, talk to Jim Kirk. He's been running sessions for anyone who hasn't been off planet before.

You need to eat more than the average person here, let Dusty Fields know. High calorie rations are marked, but he's keeping track of supplies with a couple of others.


[Oh, right-]

Guess I should also add, you want to get laid, talk to Newton Geiszler. I'm sure the Doc would love to give you a little TLC.

[:D]

If you've got any questions, you're looking for Sam Wilson.

[:D :D]

I wonder if that is true.
There is no mention of the Terras-number computers, yet...this behavior...

The governing computers. Superior Domination.
There's no sense of it here in anyone. But there is still a controlling computer, isn't there?
I don't wholly understand...

More...who put Viveca in charge.
And whether or not we are intended to be governed by it.

According to whom?

It is not safe...to trust a machine's word.
But if there is someone behind her making...and her logic...
If there is a way to see that someone and understand their intentions for certain...

[there's a decent pause.]

I did...?
Is that why...?
firstroar: (ᴇɴᴅᴜʀᴇ)

[personal profile] firstroar 2021-09-04 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
...Waking here did not come with a chance to understand my coming here at all.
Unless my memory was taken from me by this machine, I will have to take time to reflect.

["deal"...

another long delay.

then:]
I felt echoes of a voice...in other people. In myself. It could be a dream...or something implanted within.

Superior Domination runs the government based on this notion of implanting placating ideas and dreams in people. Why would this be any different?

[there's another pause; he's gotta slow his roll on the stream-of-consciousness, slow-motion-panic going on here.]

I didn't think I was alive anymore. But that's--

[stop. reel it in.]

I will take time to recall. To remember.
