[The audio pops on and, without waiting overly long, a man starts to speak.]

This isn’t. Quite what I expected. Where is this?

… Is anyone actually here?

[He’s not exactly one for beating around the bush. Not when he can help it, anyway.
Also, if this is Peragus all over again, he’s going to scream. He cannot deal with dead silent empty places

[ well, for starters, he isn't quite sure what to make of this yet. waking up had not been the most pleasurable experience. he decides to err on the side of caution. ]

It would appear that there are quite a few roaming the vacant spaces. Am I to assume that you received the same welcome as I?

[force_killer]

If other people have been waking up in a liquid-filled tank, feeling like they had too much Juma Juice, I'd say so. I'm glad for the company. The circumstances less so.

[sermonize]

Circumstances aside, for who would desire to leave their home behind unwillingly, while the company may be welcomed, it implies something less desired. What purpose does it serve, to bring a handful or so to this place, wherever it is?

[force_killer]

I couldn't say, really. But there's surely a reason behind it. A reason that it would be best to reveal, so that we can correct things and return to where we came from.

[sermonize]

Provided that we will be permitted to.

[force_killer]

One can only hope we will, eventually.

[sermonize]

What on the off chance that there is no way to return?

[force_killer]

Then I worry for my galaxy. But I will survive, as I always have.

[sermonize]

That is an interesting method of coping, if you do not mind me saying.

[force_killer]

Well, if there is no way to return, should I keep trying to find a way? Or should I make the best of the circumstances I am in?

[And drink heavily. Which he will never mention.]

[sermonize]

I would think always keeping an eye open would be an option alongside making the best of this.

[force_killer]

Of course. Though constantly searching for a fix might leave one a little bitter and jaded.

[sermonize]

To the point where searching would become an unhealthy obsession? Yes, I can see where that would be potentially dangerous.

[force_killer]

So really, it's all a matter of finding some sort of balance.

[sermonize]

All things in moderation, you could say.
