You all talk to the Admiral like he's really going to answer you honestly. As if he really cares what you have to say about things. I know that some people talk to him like he's there and some people talk about him like he's not. Though I think after what happened with the sortings- well, nevermind ( Read more... )

Fuck.

Has anyone seen Hayley since the beginning of this flood? I thought it might be because of the flood that my item said she was gone... [A sigh.] I was obviously wrong.

She's gone again.

The only reason I deal with his shit is because death isn't exactly appealing either.

[He’s oh so very awkward... Science always makes it better. So does alcohol.]

We are made of the stars. Every atom in our bodies, every…every molecule that we have…has come from a star. From the birth, from the death, from the very existence of stars themselves. Those points of light that seem so very, very far away. They’re so much more than…what ( Read more... )

Morality. Ethics. Politics. Are there any other subjects that might serve to 'entertain' us in their controversy? Stave off the boredom, maybe?

People have always been so good about muddying the truth from a clear, logical solution. Don't ask me if I have one. There are better things to worry about.

Do me a favor?

I'm not sure what's worse. The normal people. Or their parents. [Dramatic sigh.] If anyone needs me...[He wants to say 'don't' but decides that sounds too grumpy. Back to robot mode for him.] My inmate is affected, so I will take responsibility for what he does. But I doubt he will do much. [Yeah, that's public for a reason.]

[Capa's room is cleaner, at least. He had picked it all up and rearranged everything in a more orderly way as soon as the flood was over and he realized what happened. There is a telescope on his desk, halfway taken apart, and a wine glass, barely touched..]

I broke it. I broke. The. Telescope. [Frustrated sigh.] At least it's fixable ( Read more... )

There are plenty of people here, I know, who deal with the issue of time. It's something that I've been trying to comprehend since I've arrived here. Different universes? I can buy that. Different times? That's what I'm still struggling to figure out ( Read more... )

[Capa's sitting on the railing, with the camera facing out, towards the abyss. It's a very precarious little perch, but he's happily oblivious to the danger. Being out on the railing means that he'd be closer to the stars. And that is the most important thing.]

A star is not just a star. To most, they're just little pinpoints of light in the sky. ( Read more... )

This place, these people...so unpredictable. This is why I prefer science.

People usually- [Was that emotion? MUST BACKTRACK. He clears his throat and tries again, as if he never said the first bit.]

The nearest system to my, that would be Earth's, solar system is the Alpha Centauri. It's really a binary system. That is...two suns. Alpha Centauri A ( Read more... )
