First secret: Unexpected

[The feed begins with audio only: the sound of a curious little "hm", and then some pattering and stumbling about. Eventually, a random hand lands on the PCD and turns the video on ( Read more... )

Hn, it seems we are in the same boat. This place is somewhere outside of anyone's ken. A strange fusion and mixture of worlds that cannot possibly exist. Adstringendum is it's name, welcome, I just found myself here as well.

By the by... My name is Doom, you may call me as such...

I... see? You'll excuse me, Doom-san, but I'm not sure I understand what you are getting at.

The San is not a necessary honorific in my case, you may call me Doom, or Dr. Doom if you prefer something more formal. At any rate, this place is... from what I have seen and heard so far, a melting pot of many places, gelling together into an entirely new reality.

The worst part being, that we are stuck here... until further notice.

That is a rather outlandish suggestion, Doom-sa - ah, Dr. Doom, but it seems to be the consensus. Has there been no concentrated effort at breaking out? I know the people here who are from my... ah, world, are very powerful.

As to that? I cannot say. I am considering applying my considerable intellect to the issue soon, but right now I am focused on more basic needs, such as laboratory space.

Perhaps someday then, but for now, it seems as if we are stuck. It seems as if you have plenty of friends here anyhow?

Comrades in arms, yes. Friends... I'm no longer sure.

Is space a problem? Many buildings here seem to be empty, and I'd think that there would be many here who'd be glad to help you get organized if you think you could find a way... back.

I should not make claims to solutions before the work is in, but I've yet to find myself in a situation where my mind has failed me.

It is better to have allies than friends, allies can be counted on better. But ultimately we stand alone in this world, forced to succeed or die upon our own wits, wouldn't you agree?

The mind is certainly the most reliable tool in situations such as this. I understand that you are a man of science?

I cannot judge your position on this matter, Dr. Doom, but in my experience, friends and comrades are a one's greatest treasure. No one should stand alone.

yes, I am a scientist. I am experienced in all disciplines, but my main area of study is physics and robotics.

Friends and comrades... hn, I'm not against alliances but most of the time friends simply stand behind you to cram a knife into your back...

You must be quite exceptional, to have such vast experience. Or is this normal where you come from? I'm not sure what to take for granted, anymore.

That's a bleak worldview. I'm sorry to hear that this has been your experience - this seems such a friendly place, however. You might learn otherwise.

... hah, it seems as if your "friends" have quite an interesting opinion of you. I wonder if it's true...

We speak privately now, for my own curiosity, who should I believe? I care not for such weak definitions of evil and good... to be perfectly honest, the man who I am looking at right now is far less interesting of a person than the one that they speak of...

There is no need for privacy - I do not wish anyone to think that I have anything to hide.

I don't know what you'd consider interesting... but the Protection Squads are my life. Unohana-taicho, Ukitake-taicho... they are powerful people, people whom I admire. I will earn their trust in any way I must.

hm, of course they are then. You either play very close to your chest or are truly sincere in this. No matter then, it means the same thing, although I doubt you'll find any great measure of trust among your peers no matter how honeyed your words.

Whatever your plan is, I hope it succeeds.

I've always believed that trust must be earned. This situation is no different. More difficult, but not essentially different.

My only plan is to make myself as useful here as I can only hope I was back home, Dr. Doom. Whether it succeeds or not, I will give it my all.

...So it is then... so it is.
