[Goodness, why is the Barge so freakin' confusing? First, kiddie floods and now random visitors flooding the network. What is this?!]

I'm having some trouble understanding all this. How are people outside of this place able to contact the Barge network? [Unless there's some really kickass service provider in infinite space.] Does the Admiral let

Judging by people's reactions, it seems like this happens with relative frequency. Maybe every couple months.

Wonder why there's so many negative reactions then. Do you have any idea how the visitors are able to get into the network?

Not presently. I've had very limited access to any technical readouts of the ship.

Same here. I'm Ariadne by the way. You are?

[incapbleoferror]

I am afraid I don't understand the question. You contacted us.

[drafting_dreams]

No, I think it's the opposite actually. How did you get access to the Barge network?

[incapbleoferror]

No. I picked up your signal broadcasting on the AE-35 frequency normally reserved for communication with Earth. You are mistaken.

[drafting_dreams]

But that doesn't make sense. My journal is limited to the Barge and its frequency. How would my signal travel all the way to Earth?

[chaoticreckless]

I'm a fucking genius, that's how.

[drafting_dreams]

Right. Can you elaborate on that?

[chaoticreckless]

I was like "man, you know what I am now? BORED." So then, magically, out of thin air, I used my badass psychic powers that I didn't even know I had to put all kinds of weird people in my logbook. I created you. I'm sort of like a god, I think.

Only one sacrifice a week is necessary.

[ICON KEYWORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN TRUER.]

That made no sense. I highly doubt your a god or that I'm a creation of yours. Got any plausible answers?

[Lolwut is this?]

Miracles? People's reactions tell me otherwise.

[Goodness, an alien space Juggalo troll is way worse than just a regular Juggalo troll.]

I doubt that would end well.

[Hi Ariadne, have a pint-sized wizard.]

Spot and I are accessing this network through the Manual. He gets most of the credit, though.

What is the Barge?

[drafting_dreams]

[Yay, someone who's short like her!]

The Barge is pretty much a ship in space. People who've done really bad crimes in their lives get a chance to redeem themselves here.

[wiz_kid_redfive]

[I would totally app her as a warden if she wasn't twelve, sob sob]

A ship in space, as opposed to a spaceship? Interesting. And I know the Powers are all about redemption.

Do you know who's in charge, or is it an autonomous system?

[drafting_dreams]

The Admiral is in charge, but he rarely talks to the people here. For the most part, wardens try to keep things in order. [She emphasizes on the "try" part.]

What's your name, and where are you from?
